Availability

I have a deep love for animals and plenty of availability, which makes caring for dogs in my free time an incredibly fulfilling experience. Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but my career path ultimately led me in a different direction during college. Offering my time and care to pets now feels like a meaningful way to reconnect with my passion for helping animals live happy and healthy lives.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my dogs as if they were my children, providing them with homemade meals, fun hikes/beach walks , and plenty of playtime. Their happiness and confidence are my top priorities, and I ensure they always feel loved and cared for with the utmost attention and compassion.

Information Akyah H. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best care and training for your pet, it would be helpful to know a few key details: • Your pet’s age, breed, and any medical conditions or allergies. • Current behavior challenges or training goals. • Daily routine (feeding, exercise, etc.). • Favorite treats, toys, or activities. • Socialization preferences (e.g., with other pets or people). • Any special instructions for care or comfort.

A typical day

To ensure the perfect walk for a dog, I would begin by carefully securing their leash and making sure they are comfortable and safe before heading out. I would choose a quiet, dog friendly route, avoiding overly crowded or noisy areas to minimize stress. During the 30 minute walk, I would allow the dog to set the pace, giving them time to sniff and explore their surroundings, as this is an important part of their sensory engagement and mental stimulation. I would stay attentive to their body language, offering water if needed and ensuring the path is safe from hazards like broken glass or other debris. My goal would be to create a respectful, enjoyable, and enriching experience that leaves the dog feeling happy and well cared for.

Pet care experience

Hello beautiful people and pets 🙌🏾 With over 9 years of experience caring for family and friends’ beloved pets, I’ve developed a deep passion for providing loving and reliable care. As a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, who are my absolute pride and joy, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family. Your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care as my own! Dog Walking & Training Services also provided! In addition to providing reliable and loving dog walking services, I’m proud to offer dog training as an optional add on for clients who are looking to help their pups learn and grow. I have extensive experience in training dogs, including my own two pups who are both fully house-trained and publicly trained. One of them is even a certified service animal. I specialize in positive reinforcement training and can work with your pup on a variety of skills, including: • Basic commands: Sit, paw, lay down, roll over, stay, and recall on command. • Leash training: Addressing tugging and ensuring enjoyable walks. • Behavioral management: Reducing excessive barking. • Communication tools: Introducing and using talking buttons. If you’re interested in incorporating training into your pup’s care plan, I’d love to discuss how I can help your furry friend reach their full potential while building trust and confidence. Contact me today to learn more ! 🤍

Akyah was an excellent pet sitter! She was very patient with our dog, punctual, and quick to respond to messages. She made our first Rover experience very pleasant!

Akyah was great with our puppy Archie. He can be a little needy and dramatic, and she was so patient and always on time.

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.
