Your Pet’s Favorite Sitter

Hey Pet parents, In need of a sitter for your awesome Pup? Look no further! I’m a lifelong dog lover with just over five years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge open field right outside of my home so your pup will have access to all exercising and play needs! There’s also a public dog park just up the street (walking distance) for your pup to enjoy and get all of their energy out. As everything your pup would need is already nearby, they’ll return to you with a wide smile and wishes to doggy sit with me again!

Akin took exceptional care of my dog, Gunner, during our 9-day trip. This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home, and we were also out of the country, so trust and communication were really important to us. From the very beginning, Akin made us feel at ease. He sent daily updates and photos, and we always knew how Gunner was doing without having to check in. During the stay, Gunner got sick once, and Akin let me know right away and kept an eye on him. At another point, when Gunner didn’t have much of an appetite, Akin even cooked him chicken to make sure he was eating. That level of care meant a lot and gave me real peace of mind. When we got back, it was obvious Gunner had been well taken care of. He was excited to see us but calm and relaxed, which has not always been the case with past sitters. It really showed that he was comfortable and in a good routine the whole time, with no changes in his behavior. Akin followed all of our instructions, including giving Gunner his daily medication and keeping me updated on that. He made sure Gunner got his walks, paid attention to the weather, and even took him to the dog park in our apartment complex. The pictures he shared were great. We also came home to a house that looked just like we left it, if not a little cleaner, and he left a small flower bouquet on the dining table, which was such a thoughtful touch. We would absolutely book Akin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring sitter.

We had a great experience with Akin. We received constant updates throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked Khaleesi up, she was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It was obvious she felt comfortable and content the entire stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Akin to anyone looking for attentive, reliable care.

I was very happy to find Akin, and he took amazing care of my two dogs. My dogs can be slightly difficult to handle sometimes but, I have no worries with him. He sent tons of pics and even replaced the leash that one dog broke. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. Thanks again :)

I'd like to know whether or not your dog is temperamental at times. (Barking, biting, etc.) *ALONG WITH POTTY TRAINED* Is your dog currently taking any scheduled medications? Is your dog able to participate in exercise such as daily cardio?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
