Pet care experience

Love of animals both great + small!

I have loved animals my entire life and always went out of my way to interact with them whenever I could. At the age of 14, my family decided to adopt a cat. We rescued her from the SFSPCA and I was the one in charge of her car. We later adopted two more cats from the SFSPCA over the next two years. I also grew up with Akitas, a Pittbull/Labrador Retriever mix, fish, and hamsters. As a young adult, I adopted and trained a Blue Heeler/Pitbull mix from 9-weeks-old. I also fostered a variety of animals from 2010-2012, from dogs and cats, to hamsters and exotics (including a hedgehog, rabbits, ferrets, and chinchillas). Today I am a single mom with two amazing older children. Our household is still full of animal love! We are owned by an adopted, blind Pekingese/Tibetan Spaniel mix, two rescued cats, two rescued tortoises, two betta fish, two African dwarf frogs, a Pixie frog, two scorpions, two vinegaroons, and a Gargoyle Gecko.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in treating anyone’s animals not only with the same respect and care I would want for my own, but also the love and care I offer to my own animal companions. I have animals with a variety of needs and am used to being flexible and meeting animals where they are. ❤️

Alaka has watched our dog, cat(s), chickens, and lizard many times when we go on vacation. She's got a lot of experience with animals of all types. She gives my pets the best care and lots of love every time! Our dog LOVES to see her and will ignore everyone else when Alaka is around. I highly recommend Alaka as a pet caregiver.

Alaka has watched my pets many times while I’ve been on vacation, and she is truly amazing. She has cared for my dog, cat, and even my seven chickens with incredible attention and love. Not only does she follow every instruction exactly as requested, but she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure all of my furry and feathered friends are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in her hands. Alaka is always my first choice when I’m looking for a pet sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
