Pet care experience

Let me love your Fur Baby 🤍

Hi! I’m Lakin, a dedicated pet sitter with 11 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and a degree in veterinary medicine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s what I’ve built my career around. Because of my background, I’m especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention, including seniors, puppies, post-surgical patients, and pets with medical conditions. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on safety, patience, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs structured care, medical awareness, or just a reliable, caring presence while you’re away, you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in knowledgeable and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! 🐶🐱

Lakin was amazing at letting us know how our little fur baby was coping away from home. She sent us picture and videos and always responded pretty quickly to any message we sent. Our booking was last minute and we are very grateful that Lakin was able to accommodate for us. Would book again!!

Wonderful experience! She sent lots of updates and photos, took great care of my dogs, and even left a sweet surprise for us. I would definitely book with her again!
