Fun and Experienced Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Imani, and the first thing that you should know about me is that I LOVE animals. Ever since I was a child I have read anything I could get my hands on that involves animals. My favorite book is "Dog Breeds of the World: The Complete Reference to Pedigree Dogs" by Mike Stockman. But what I find even better than reading about animals is being around and taking care of animals. Throughout my life I have lived with all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, snakes, bearded dragons, and a rabbit called Petey Pablo. Right now I live with two beautiful cats, a mischievous rabbit, and a hyper but intelligent poodle. I have always loved being around these animals, and as a child I was more inclined to clean the kitty litter box than I was to do my homework. Now that I am an adult, I am putting my life's passion to use and working with animals full time. In addition to the services I offer on Rover, I also work full time at a doggie daycare. As your pet sitter, I will always strive to provide you and your animal companions with the best service possible. All instructions that you give me prior to sitting will be written down and carefully adhered to. I will ensure that every animal gets sufficient food, water, and exercise as well as love and affection. And that goes for dogs as well as ANY OTHER ANIMAL that resides with you. I am willing and capable of taking care of as many pets and as many species as you need me to. I am also experienced in taking care of special needs and senior dog, cats, and rabbits. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets :) I currently work full time on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays so I will only be available early mornings or in the evening on those days. I am free all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I cannot care for animals in my home due to my rental agreement. In a client's home I keep doors locked and gates shut as well as writing down and following any instructions you give me. Upon request you may receive picture and video updates as well.
Reviews
We have been lucky enough to have Imani cat sit for us for almost 2 years now. She has always been incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive with our cat. This last visit was wonderful as usual, she even noticed when our cat was starting to get anxious/over-grooming and offered to give her some of the prescribed anxiety medications we kept on hand! Imani is by far the best sitter we've been fortunate enough to work with and I couldn't be more thankful! We'll miss her when we move this summer!
Imani was amazing as always! We got great updates and pictures while away and knew our cat was being well taken care of. We’re so appreciative of Imani’s flexibility as well as we had originally requested only 30 min drop in visits and reached same day to see if she’d be able to accommodate the hour. Thank you so much Imani!
Imani was a wonderful sitter for our cat as always! She's always timely and great at communicating with us (updates, pictures, etc.). Our cat tends to get anxious when we travel and Imani was great about keeping an eye on her and keeping us updated on how she was doing. We always know cat is going to be well taken care of with Imani and were so happy she was able to check-in on her. An added bonus - Imani tidied up the cat toys, blankets, etc. before we got home which is above and beyond what we could ask!! Thank you!
Imani is the best and always takes great care of my cats!

A typical day
I currently do not have a car, so we won't travel far but that doesn't mean we can't have fun! In addition to walks in your neighborhood and fetch in your yard I am also happy to do training exercises with your dog and teach them mind-stimulating games like hide and seek! More sedentary dogs will also love being cuddled, scratched, and brushed. No dog is too big to be a lap dog!
