Pet care experience

Experienced Sitter You Can Count On

I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally. I grew up in a dog-loving home and have hands-on experience with all kinds of pups—from cuddly lap dogs to high-energy, hyperactive breeds. I understand dog behavior, know how to keep even the most energetic pups engaged, and I’m patient and gentle with dogs of all ages. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, calming companionship, or a steady routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always aim to match their usual schedule and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each dog’s unique needs—whether they’re playful, anxious, energetic, or just love cuddles. I have the energy and experience to keep up with high-activity pups and the patience to care for more laid-back or sensitive dogs. My goal is to provide personalized, loving care that feels just like home.

Nakia did a great job with our dog while we were away. The house was clean when we returned. I just would have liked more communication while we were gone on how Mack was doing.

Nakia took care of Ivy at the last second and I am very grateful for her. She was attentive of Ivy and her tendencies after only knowing her a short time. Sent me pictures every day!

Nakia was very attentive to Flacka’s needs and went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable to eat and drink while we are away! She really made me comfortable being away from him.

Schedule

I work part-time, which means I’m available most hours of the day to give your dog the attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to offer consistent care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pup company. Pet care isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nakia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It’s really important for me to know as much as I can about your pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible. I like to know things like: •Their daily routine (meals, walks, play, etc.) •Any medical issues, medications, or allergies •How they react to other pets or people •Favorite toys, games, or calming techniques •Crate or potty training habits •Any fears (loud noises or certain triggers) •Commands they know or are working on The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!
