Safety, trust & environment

I take careful notes about you animal's routine and needs before they are in my care. Skills for behavioral and emotional regulation are built into the way i interact with dogs. Cats and i just vibe. Even skittish cats tend to warm up to me in few days and we always have a nice time together.

Information Neka Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or unusual habits. If you would like to do any training or training reinforcement with your dog let me know ahead of time and we can chat about what that looks like.

A typical day

If i am with a dog the whole day we will take at least 2 walks every day if they need)want it. If u live within a mile of a dog park we might have a visit there. I love a good food or treat hunt and often make games that involve that activity, for mental stimulation, enrichment, and good snooting. I love a good cuddle and if that is ur pet's jam, I can guarantee some quality pats. I enjoy getting to know cats and have found many are open to getting to know me, even the ones who's parents say they are grumpy. I meet them where they are at wether that is giving lots of space and taking care of their needs only or playing, cuddling, and chatting for the more attention hungry cuties.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I helped raise several puppies including one who I fostered before she became a seeing eye dog. I have also assisted in training my partner's service dog.

I'm a repeated Neka fan, he's always so accommodating, communicative, and does such a good job taking care of the cats and house. I've reviewed him twice already with 5 stars and I will continue to do it over and over because he is my ride or die.

I've had Neka sit for me twice now and he does amazing, he always goes above and beyond what I ask of him. The cats love him, and he takes such good care of them. Thank you Neka, you're my go-to!

Neka was super attentive to my two kitties and took amazing care of them while I was out of town. He came over before I left to meet them and make sure he knew where everything was. He really cares about making sure they're comfortable and healthy, and I will absolutely be rebooking him! Amazing pet sitter for sure.
