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.

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!)

Information Saya R. would like to know about your pet

What commands do they know? What are their favorite toys/activities? Do they have any fears or concerns? How many walks do they need per day?

A typical day

I am an early riser that loves to start the day with dog walks and sunshine-soaking. Then, I tend to come back and settle in to a good day of writing. Throughout the day, I take the dogs out 3-4 times for potty breaks, and go on 2 more walks (lunch time and evening). We also often go to the dog park, play toys and zoom around the house, or snuggle up in the various places I find comfortable for writing. I also love hiking and running, so if you have an outdoorsy, energetic dog I am more than happy to incorporate that.

Pet care experience

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.

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!

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!
