Pet care experience

Keeping owners happy/tails wagging.

I've always had an undying passion for animals. No matter the age, size, or pitch in the bark/purr I'm there to love, nurture, and become a companion to your love ones. Strolls in the neighborhood; I'm ready when they are. Scratches behind the ear, belly, or just that weird spot that gets their leg kicking or their mouths purring; my hands are itching to please. Rope toys, squeekies, stuffed mice, or Konks - they name the toy; but I'm always ready to play. Of course, there's a time to eat and drink; that's at your discretion. I'm here for their needs and to secure a comfortable living space and environment while you're away. However, the home will always be intact, you'll never have to worry. You'd like the dog/cat bowl washed after, the mail picked up on my way in, and/or the trash taken out? I'm the sitter for you. Experience: Growing up I've always had a dog as a companion. Once I went into High school I had three dogs (a Pitbull, a Yorkie/chihuahua mix, and a rat terrier) at once to walk, wash, and entertain with four of my other younger siblings. Soon my mother was helping run a breeding service for Cane Corsos (Bull Mastiffs) and I was right there to change out the pads, rotate the puppies, and make sure everyone was fed and comfortable - even the mom. Soon they would be sold but during the process I aided in their growth and development from when they first appeared to when they were sold into a loving, new family. Later, I would inhabit three more pitbulls and three cats, but I've always had more than enough love to give each of them at any given time. Now I'm a college student and I cannot have any dogs in my dorm on campus, but it doesn't stop me from loving on every single one I see.

She is the best dog sitter / walker I’ve ever had and I’ve had a number in ATL, NYC and DC.

House Sitting • Dec 28, 2017

Lakisha was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone with dog sitting needs! Our usual dog sitter had a family emergency come up last minute right before Christmas and we desperately needed someone. Luckily, Lakisha saved the day and stayed with our 80 pound baby for 4 days. She sent regular updates and pictures, took great care of our pup and house and even washed her own bedding and towels! Definitely a trustworthy and reliable sitter!!
