Your Dog’s New Best Friend
My love for animals started when I was just a little girl always bringing home pups and asking my mom, “Can we keep it?” Dogs, especially, have always held a soft spot in my heart. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets and even raised two Cane Corsos of my own, who are still loved and spoiled back home. I have now added an additional fur baby who is a Shih Tzu! Her name is Clover and I am so grateful for her! I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and full of energy when it comes to animals. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just lounging around, your dog will be in loving hands. I treat every pet like family, paying close attention to their needs, routines, and quirks to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Becoming a pet sitter just made sense for me it’s something I’ve always loved doing. While I may be new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’m genuinely excited to meet your furry best friend and provide the kind of care and attention they deserve!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Akela was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. She takes one client at a time which I liked. My puppy and her puppy were playing. I will be booking her again.
Akela was amazing! She watched my dog while I was out of town for a few days and made the whole process stress free. She’s super sweet, responsible, and treated my pup like her own. I appreciated the updates and how comfortable she made everything feel.
Akela is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with pets. She even watched my dog when I would go out of town and always made sure he felt safe, happy, and loved. I fully trust her and highly recommend her to anyone needing a responsible and loving pet caregiver

Schedule
I work from home full time and have for the last three years, so your pet will never be short on attention or company! My typical work hours are from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and I’m completely free after 3 PM, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and one on one care. I also have a spacious extra room, so whether your pet wants their own cozy space or prefers to roam freely around the house, they’ll feel right at home. Rest assured, your pet will always be safe, supervised, and surrounded by love!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone! I also live in a pet friendly apartment complex that’s perfect for dogs! I have a doggy spa right downstairs and a pet playground just across from my building great for playtime, walks, and getting some fresh air. Inside, your pup will feel right at home. I have an extra room available if they need their own quiet space, but if your dog prefers to roam or stay close by, that’s totally welcome too. I’m all about keeping them comfortable based on their unique personality. If your pet is on a specific schedule whether it’s crate time, feeding, medication, or play I’ll make sure everything is followed exactly how you request. Just let me know any special instructions, and I’ll stick to them with care and consistency. Their routine and well being are my top priority while they’re with me!
Pets
A typical day
My mornings start at 6:30 AM, so your pet will be greeted bright and early. While I work from home (until 3 PM), your pet will never be alone I take regular breaks throughout the day to check in, offer cuddles, or go for quick walks to keep them happy and stimulated. After 3 PM, it’s all about playtime and quality attention! We’ll head outside to the pet playground, take a relaxing stroll, or just hang out and wind down together. I’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to, whether that means active play, structured quiet time, or lots of belly rubs. I adapt to each dog’s energy and needs so they feel safe, secure, and right at home. Feel free to call, text, FaceTime whatever works best for you if you want to check in. I completely understand what it’s like to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Trust me, I get it! I’ll always be just a phone call away and happy to give updates, photos, or videos so you can feel at ease while your pup is with me.
