Was very happy and pleased with Akosua staying at our home and watching our 2 golden retrievers. She kept us informed and was always responsive. Took our pups for walks, handled reactivity to squirrels and some GI issues. Would not hesitate to recommend to others, and will reach out to her next time we need a house/dog sitter.

This was our third time leaving our pup with Akosua, and we can't say enough how wonderful Akosua is! She is a lovely person, and our dog absolutely adores her. Our dog takes us right to Akosua's door wagging and comes home happy and relaxed -- all behaviors we have never seen with another sitter. Akosua clearly knows dogs well, and has great communication, giving us lots of updates and sending great photos. Thanks Akosua for taking great care of our baby!

This was our second time leaving our senior pup, Ethel, with Akosua and we can't recommend her highly enough! At dropoff, Ethel ran straight to the door and gave Akosua a huge greeting. She settled right in like it was her second home and didn't even try to leave with us - a first for anywhere we've left Ethel (family or Rover). Akosua is great with communication, sent lots of updates/pictures, and clearly is very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs. Ethel came back very relaxed and clearly enjoyed her "vacation" too!

We had a nice experience with Akosua. She has watched our 9-month-old dog twice, and both visits went well. Our dog prefers having company rather than being alone, and this was our first time having someone watch him in our home. Hector seemed to like Akosua and was comfortable with her. We would be happy to book with her again.
