About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.
“Ryan was great with the pups and flexible with our last minute booking. He was also patient with me as I was super nervous with a new dog walker. He also handled all three of them well. I’d definitely recommend his services.”


“Whitney always does a great job with our Senior pup. He can’t always walk the full time if it is hot out but she still hangs around for snuggles! I know he is in good hands!”

About: I grew up with pets and have experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes! I am comfortable training puppies and administering medication. I adore animals and understand that each pet has a different personality with different needs, I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have a girl dog (5 years old) and a boy cat (2 years old) that are my whole world. I am used to taking my dog out for walks multiple times a day, feeding them both, changing litter, and giving them lots of love! Every pet is different so I will always stop by for an introductory visit before we book to ensure that I am the right fit for your fur babies! During that visit I will also make sure that I understand your pet’s routines and needs so that they can get the care they need!
About: Since I was a kid I've been the person neighbors, friends, and family have relied on to watch their fur babies of all shapes and sizes. From maintaing clean litter boxes to taking long walks around the neighborhood, spending time with fur babies of all ages is my passion. While the parents are not home, it is all snuggles and play time. I devote my full attention to keeping our furry friends entertained and happy until their parents return. **Please Understand That if I am Contacted Before 8AM or After 10PM, I will not be able to respond in a timely manner as I too enjoy sleep** I am currently going back to school online, so I'll be able to spend plenty of time hanging with the pups and kitties just goofing around and snuggling. In my client's home, I will be respectful of their property. I can ensure the pets are fed and provided fresh water. I will clean after the animals if there is an accident, and will help maintain tidy litterboxes. If the owner has a fenced in yard that they prefer for the dog to potty in, I will still go behind and bag the fresh poop.

I work through out the week between a bookstore and running my own small training company. My hours can vary and this is something I am absolutely open to discussing Safety and care can vary from home to home, however I am always equipped with extra leashes and back up collars to prevent and issues on walks, hikes, or any outings. I also am comfortable and able to practice crate training. Whatever is important to you is important to me. I am pet CPR and first aid certified
“Stephanie walked our 2 year old lhasapoo, Som. She is a very responsible punctual individual. We loved working with her. Everyday she sent us photos along with a note describing how Som did during the walk. She looked after Som as Som is her own pet. In rainy days, after the walk was over, she would dry Som with a towel. We will definitely book her again!”


About: Every time someone needs a pet sitter or someone to play/look out for their pet I’m the first person that comes to mind. I’ve have a lot of experience with a great track record of getting dogs to like me especially shy ones aggressive ones and old ones. Never rush into making a connection, let the dog initiate first. I’ve also have experience self training my pets family’s friends neighbors strangers pets ‘NOT CERTIFIED’ Tho I’ve thought about it, I just like spending time caring for and playing with pet more. I currently own my own Automotive company. The most I’ll be doing around your pets is taking a call. I have plenty of time to take them on walks, trips,drives. Even to their appointments. They’ll get love, attention, fed their prescriptions (if they have any). Play or even simple training whatever you like them to do and More Safety and trust is my number one priority. Whatever is most helpful for you guys will be most comfortable for me. Some customers will want their pets taken outside car rides extra treats some training, other others will just want you to be there so they can have company and will be let out and fed on time. Just let me know boundaries!
“Tina is absolutely the BEST! She always shows up on time, and my puppy absolutely LOVES going on walks and playing tug with her. I especially appreciate that she lets him take his time sniffing and exploring while also patiently teaching him not to pull on the leash. When he had an accident in his crate, Tina went above and beyond without hesitation—she cleaned him up and took care of the entire mess! She is incredibly caring, reliable, and will send you the cutest pictures she takes of your puppy during her time there. I HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!”

This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious about leaving my fur baby with someone, but Nakea eased my anxiety. She provided pictures upon pick up and drop off for walks, she was extremely communicative throughout the process and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Nakea and will be using her for future walks!
