About Yaya

Hi, I'm Yaya. I'm an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, especially medium to large breeds. I've been a large-breed dog owner myself for nearly seven years, and my dog has been a central part of my daily life and routine. Over the years, I've also fostered dogs through shelters and supported friends with dog walking, sitting, and short-term care. I'm patient, attentive, and intuitive with animals, and I'm especially good at reading body language and anticipating a dog's needs. While I have the most experience with medium to large dogs, I'm also happy to care for small dogs. I love being active and spending time outdoors, and as a New Yorker at heart, walking comes naturally to me. I make sure every dog in my care is well-exercised, safe, and genuinely loved, and I'm excited to share my experience with the Philly community.
