Your Dog’s Home Away From Home!

Pet care experience

My daughter and I run a family owned pet care business built on genuine love and dedication to animals. We first discovered Rover in 2019, but even before then, we had extensive experience caring for many dogs. When your pet stays with us, they are truly in caring, capable hands. My daughter is currently pursuing her education to become a veterinarian. Her passion for animals, combined with hands on experience, makes this a meaningful and valuable foundation for her future career. Together, we ensure each dog receives individualized attention, affection, and care. Our days are filled with both indoor and outdoor activities, including playtime, treats, belly rubs, basic training, and plenty of love. We currently have a small dog that is well cared for. We enjoy building lasting relationships with dogs outside of our own family and earning the trust of pet parents by providing a safe, loving environment. We consistently send updates and photos even if a response isn’t required so, you always feel connected and reassured. We truly appreciate you taking the time to view our profile, and we hope you’ll feel confident choosing us. We specialize in quality care, allowing you to relax while we handle everything your dog needs. Also, toys and treats are provided to ensure a fun and enriching stay. PLEASE NOTE that at this time, we are UNABLE to ACCEPT pit bulls.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lakesia! In an emergency situation she was able to watch my 4 month old puppy for me. She picked her up, dropped her off, and gave her a lot of love when I couldn’t. 5 stars, well earned!

Lakesia and her family were amazing! They were very communicative and our dog Zeke loved staying with them. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog! Next time we need someone to take care of Zeke, we will be booking with her.

Lakesha and her daughter were wonderful. She took Walter at the last minute when I had to rush to the hospital for friend on Christmas eve. Another friend was supposed to pick him up Christmas morning and flaked out. They got him home and sent pictures. He was so tuckered out after his big day playing with the other dogs at the dogpark, he slept the whole afternoon. Thanks Ladies!

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.
