Safety, trust & environment

I would love to take care of your furry friends in your home, where they are most comfortable! I can easily help continue training of commands on learning dogs, as well as consistent supervision, play time, and potty time! I'm very good at keeping to a schedule and can mix up any unique food diets that you have for your furry friends.

Information Akeena T. would like to know about your pet

I would love it if you would let me know if your dog has any training issues or nonos that they still like to do so I don't accidentally reward or ignore bad behavior! I would also like to know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for when I am taking care of them!

A typical day

I love playing fetch and tug of War with all dogs, even your extra large pets who are super strong! We will have lots of fun checking out all of the scenery and smells in your neighborhood!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of my own pets since I was 10, I have always loved taking care of animals and have helped out lots of friends and family when it came to their furry friends. I am also a decent dog trainer, I have never taken classes but I taught all of my dogs and my friends dogs basic and helpful commands, as well as teaching them good walking manners and behavior.

Akeena just finished house sitting my dog and cat, and my dog was clearly happy upon my return home, and my house was left clean and cared for! Will absolutely ask Akeena to stay with my dog again!
