Arf! Arf!

Pet care experience

"There is nothing truer in this world than the love of a good dog." -Mira Grant. I believe that doggies have some of the purest hearts in existence. This is why I will care for your dog with the love and compassion he/she deserves. I have been around dogs since before I could walk. My experience with dogs include dog walking, bathing, overnights, and general dog care. Growing up, we always had at least one dog and one time, as many as 14! I have had a variety of pets, as my family and I love animals, but it is no doubt that I have a special place of love for the doggies. Dogs give away so much love and, recently relocating and not having a dog of my own, It would heartwarming to have the opportunity to return some of that love! Becoming a dog sitter allows me to spend time with some of my favorite personalities, have a flexible schedule, and make some money while making a new friend. I also really enjoy playing with dogs and just seeing the happiness that shines through. Your dog and I will enjoy refreshing walks and jogs around the neighborhood and sometimes Santa Monica Beach! We will also play with toys and spend quality time together. As a part time employee, I will have hours to spend playing with your dog and ensuring that they are a happy camper. My home will always be a safe environment for your dog. With only my sister, another dog lover, living with me, we will be sure to create a wonderful experience for your loved one. I hope to meet your animal friend soon! Arf! Arf!, LaTasha Akpaka

I had a not-so-good experience with LaTasha. First, she's not very quick with the responses. Communication wasn't the best. Second, she had no regard for the drop-off and pick-up times. It took her 45 mins to respond with her address causing me to be a few minutes late to drop off my dog. When I arrived, she then informed me she wasn't even home. 15 minutes later, she had someone meet me to drop off my dog. I didn't like leaving my dog with some random person but I had a flight to catch so I had no choice. Due to all the delays, I ended up missing my flight by 5 minutes. I've never missed a flight in my life so talk about upset! When I told her I missed my flight, she didn't apologize or even respond. For the pick-up, I had a pick-up time of 11a-12p. I informed her that I would be there at 11a due to my flight arriving early. She responded telling me she was at work and wouldn't be home until after 3p. First, I wasn't aware that my dog was being left alone during the stay but ok. Second, this caused me to have to go all the way home and wait for her to get off work. I don't live close so that was another huge inconvenience! I picked her because she is close to the Van Nuys Flyaway. Needless to say, I got screwed on the drop-off and pick-up. I only gave 2 stars because my dog seemed to be ok. She did send pics to keep me updated. I, however, will never use her as a sitter ever again.

LaTasha was great! We felt comfortable with her from our first meeting and Precious was treated like her own. Thanks again LaTasha.

LaTasha was absolutely amazing! My doggos were so comfortable with her and I know they had a great time! She was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up! Also, we had to find a sitter at the last minute and she was a life saver! I can’t thank you enough LaTasha! Know they we will definitely contact you again if we need someone to take care of Jack and Koda!

Information LaTasha A. would like to know about your pet

Dogs MUST be potty trained OR be trained to use floor pads. I mention potty trained as in trained to not go inside the house whatsoever. If doggie has to go and let's me know by barking, standing near the door, whining etc they are potty trained. If instead, they release inside of the house, doggie is not potty trained. Taking them out very often so that they don't have a chance to go inside does not mean they are potty trained and have learned the discipline to not go inside. Thank you :)
