Safety, trust & environment

Since I only offer care in the client's home, I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. For Drop-ins and House Sitting, I strictly follow the pet's established schedule for feeding, medication, and bathroom breaks, ensuring their environment remains comfortable. I also dedicate time for playtime and cuddles. During Dog Walks, safety is paramount. I tailor the pace to the dog's needs and remain highly attentive to their surroundings. I always send timely photo and text updates to keep you informed!

Information Nakia S. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely. I require a detailed understanding of each pet's needs before any service begins, and I always prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it's a good fit.

A typical day

I tailor activities to the pet's energy and personality! For dogs, I focus on engaging activities like fetch, practicing positive reinforcement commands, and exploring new paths on walks. For cats and other indoor pets, I prioritize interactive playtime with wand toys and laser pointers, alongside dedicated time for snuggles, brushing, and gentle pets. I aim to make my visits the highlight of their day.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Nakia (26), an experienced animal lover offering Dog Walks, Drop-ins, and House Sitting for both dogs and cats. I own a dog, cat, and turtle myself! As a mom, I bring exceptional patience and focused attention to every animal I care for. My schedule is very flexible. I will treat your pets like my own—you won't have to worry while you're away. References are available, and pricing varies based on care needs. Message me on Rover with any questions! 🐾😊

Nakia is wonderful. She’s a very good communicator and went above and beyond our expectations. We’re looking forward to working with her again!

I had a great experience with Nakia taking care of my cat. She provided regular updates and sent pictures throughout the week, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Nakia made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!

Nakia went over and beyond to take care of our dog. She is a great sitter and we look forward to having her take care of our dog again in the future.
