Experienced sitter. 15 min to JFK
Pet care experience
Update for Coronavirus: I hope everyone and their animal pals are healthy and safe! As a safety precaution, I am only doing meet and greets in the park, but I don't require them and would prefer to keep physical interactions (for us humans!) to a minimum. I can do a brief meet and greet if you insist on it. For all interactions (drop off, pick up, meet and greets) I will be wearing a face mask and will meet you outside. Feel free to also wear a mask (or scarf if you don't have a mask) and let's all wash our hands or use antibacterial afterwards! Also, check out Rover's coronavirus guidelines here if you haven't already. Stay safe everyone! https://www.rover.com/blog/a-message-to-the-rover-community-about-coronavirus-questions-and-concerns/#1_Can_I_still_book_pet_care_on_Rover I've been a dog owner for many years, as well as sitter and walker for family and friends. I love going for long walks with dogs as much as the dogs do. (And I have several tricks for stubborn dogs. I promise you will never see me dragging your dog down the block as that's a pet peeve of mine. Pun intended!) I'm comfortable doing light grooming such as bathing and brushing. My dog, who recently passed, suffered from seizures, so I am comfortable giving oral medication and with taking care of animals with special needs. I'm about 14 minutes to JFK with normal traffic, according to Google maps. I am now charging a daycare rate of $27 for late pickups for dog boarding. I'll try to give a grace period whenever reasonable, but if you need at 6am drop off for a week stay and you have a 10pm flight arrival, this is another full day of work for me, outside of buisness hours, and a day sit rate will now be applied. I hope you understand!
Reviews
Akudo took Oreo for a last minute 4th of July request. Literally the morning of a couple hours before - had she not been as accommodating as she was, I would have to cancel my plans. She was communicative and so loving towards Oreo. Treated him amazingly and sent many pictures during his stay :) Will definitely be reaching out to her again!! Thank you Akudo!!
Akudo was so sweet and kind. Her response time is impeccable. She was able to take my pup last minute. In the pouring rain, I should add. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. I would definitely book with her again. Thanks Akudo!
I highly recommend Akudo B. She handled Kaia with expertise and treated her very well while we were out of town. This was the first time we left the puppy so long so we were a little nervous but she put us at ease and sent us several photos and updates while we were away. She also gave us some training tips which was a bonus. I’m happy we met her and we would definitely use her services again..
I was stuck at work and needed a dog walker ASAP. Akudo B. Responded quickly, and was friendly in our conversation. My mother (who was home at the time) told me that she was gentle and was able to handle my rambunctious puppy with out too much trouble. The walk must have been a good one because Aspen slept like a rock after she came back and was put in her kennel. I came home several hours later and she didnt even wake to greet me. She slept straight through to 6:30 am. I will definitely be booking more walks with Akudo B.!
