Safety, trust & environment

I take great pride in providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have plenty of space to play, relax, and enjoy themselves, with access to cozy spots for naps and regular potty breaks. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether it’s for feeding, walks, or playtime, to ensure they feel at ease and loved. In your home, I make sure to keep everything familiar to your pet while providing them with the same level of attention and care. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and content during their time with me

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and entertained! Depending on your pet's personality and preferences, we’ll enjoy a variety of activities, such as fun walks in the park, playful games of fetch, or cozy cuddle sessions. I also enjoy mental stimulation games, like treat puzzles, and introducing new toys to keep them engaged.

Jakiya was awesome, kind and flexible as our plans changed slightly last minute. Our dog Ruby needs a little time to warm up to new people and Jakiya was super gracious and patient in this process. Would definitely recommend her!

Jakiya provided exceptional service while watching my pup Luffy. Her communication was excellent, and I felt very comfortable knowing he was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Jakiya to anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

Jakiya took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away for a week. She sent regular updates with pictures and clearly understood both of their needs.

I am so happy that I boarded my dog and my cat with Jakiya during my most recent trip out of state. For the 10 days she watched them, I could not possibly have asked for better care than they received. Jakiya is great about communication and sent pics and videos every day, and so I had complete peace of mind. And that, in and of itself, helped make my trip a good one. I can tell Jakiya loves animals, and her calm and friendly manner definitely helped both pets feel at ease. I feel that's particularly important to note because my cat is blind, and while he's a seasoned traveler he doesn't always relax quickly in new places. I'm also appreciative that Jakiya has a fenced yard, and I know my dog felt the same way! I never look forward to leaving my pets behind, but having great care for them makes me a lot more comfortable when traveling. I'll absolutely be checking in with Jakiya next time I have a trip to plan!
