Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Petsitter & At-Home Writer
I am a lifelong pet-haver and pet/house sitter, and I’m thrilled to offer dedicated, reliable care for your pets. My flexible, remote-based schedule allows me to be fully present with your animals throughout the day. This means your pets receive consistent companionship, attentive care, and plenty of affection. When I’m in your home, or your dog is in my home, my focus is on your pets and my writing, nowhere else. I love to keep client’s up to date with photos of their cats/dogs. I can also take your dogs for hikes, as well as runs if they are energetic! I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, horses, birds (both farm and exotic), rodents, and more. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure each animal feels comfortable and especially those who may be reactive or dealing with separation stress.

Safety, trust & environment
In a client’s home, I am respectful and clean. I am able to safely crate dogs, supervise in backyard adventures (and join in the fun!), take dogs on walks of all lengths, feed them according to strict or loose schedules, and follow prescription protocols. I will happily play toys with your pet and also snuggle up for some down time. In addition to loving care and unending attention for your pet, I also make sure to clean up in my client’s home. This includes poop scooping, laundry, bathroom cleaning, vacuuming, and dishes if I stay overnight. In my own home, I have two small chihuahua mixes that are well-behaved gentlemen. They love the companionship of other dogs, so your dog will have lots of playing, sniffing, and zoomies to enjoy. I also am a dedicated walker, so when your dog is in my home, we go on a minimum of three walks a day, not just potty breaks (this can be less if you have an older/disabled/littler dog!)
Ratings and reviews
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Saya and would 100% book him again without hesitation. He was incredibly communicative, responsive and responsible from start to finish, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our husky Olivia has her quirks, and he handled her with such patience and care, which we really appreciated. We received great updates and always felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, which says everything. Saya truly goes above and beyond in every way. We’re so grateful to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
Our pets love Saya! He’s very responsible and showers our fur babies with lots of love - they are so happy when he’s here!
Saya is so responsible & our pets love him! I definitely recommend Saya for any pet sitting/dog walking.
Saya was wonderful with our dog and cat! He helped us out watching them over the holidays and they loved having him around. He was very responsive and responsible - I would definitely recommend booking with Saya!
Says was an amazing house sitter for my two dogs! My dogs have specific routines/needs and he was great about keeping those up and very detail oriented. He made a wonderful connection with both dogs and gave my shy dog time to warm up on her own terms. The house looked great when we arrived home and I look forward to having them look after my dogs again.
Saya is, quite simply, the best pet caregiver you could ask for. He is the ultimate professional who takes his role seriously, demonstrating remarkable dependability, capability, and responsibility. His quiet, tidy approach ensures a calm environment, and his commitment to following every instruction is flawless. Saya provides expert care, quality time, and abundant affection to every animal he looks after. I highly recommend Saya as a loving caregiver to your pets.

Schedule
I am a full-time writer currently completing the writing phase of my PhD (coursework finished!), which allows me a highly flexible schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to accommodate your pets’ routine needs, and I’m available for any amount of time you may require care for your fur baby.
