Pet care experience

Since I was a child, I have been surrounded by puppy kisses and cat purrs! Friends, neighbors, and family members happily allowed me to walk their dogs and look after them while they were out of town, and my adoration for caring for animals is something I still carry with me. Growing up, I had three dogs that I cared for from puppy to senior, along with a senior cat my family adopted. In their old age, each pet had different needs, for example my pug's back legs were immobile and required assistance moving anywhere and needed medication. For me, caring for animals is caring for family, and building strong bonds. I love dogs at any age and am excited to get to know new animals through playing, hiking, and cozy nights in cuddling.

Akira looked after my dog and my two cats while I was on vacation last year and they did such a wonderful job. My dog is always so excited to see them and my cats are so comfortable around them! I trust them anytime I need to go out of town and so do my pets!

Akira has taken great care of my cat for years, and has always been reliable, on time, and trustworthy. I feel super comfortable having them in my house and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone

Akira is a lifesaver! My work hours have changed so I’m not able to spend as much time with my baby Luncheon. I met Akira on Rover, and I can’t lie I was a little nervous at first. To my delight, they were super responsible, experienced, and kind. I wasn’t hesitant at all to put Luncheon in their care. He’s a chihuahua mutt, and can be a lot to handle at times, but it wasn’t a problem! So happy to be a part of the Rover family, and to have Akira by my side.
