Note: For the safety and enjoyment of all our furry friends, we do not take dogs that are aggressive with other dogs, happy to do a meet & greet to see if it's a fit. Sankofa Sitting is part of nonprofit eco family business. We are a centrally located (8 mins from the airport) sustainable urban farm with a large backyard and plenty of enrichment for dogs. All family members and residents of ecosankofa care for the dogs so they are never alone. Dr. Yeshaq Sarra Tekola leads the pack, with a PhD in Sustainability and incorporates that into the design of all elements from our dog poop composter to our home made treats. The Tekolas have been watching dogs on Rover, for a few years now, because dogs and animals are a deep passion of ours. We specialize in long term stays and repeat visits because we really try to be a second home for dogs, we also provide discounts for these types of stays. We try to keep the vibe of a dog park, with all the dogs playing together in the backyard, so we only book dogs who can hang out with other dogs. We work to develop a relationship with the dogs who stay with us and go to great lengths to make them feel at home, whether that is buying wet food & treats to put on top so that they eat their food or letting them stay in our office & bedroom with me because they are nervous. We understand dogs are people's children and we treat them as such. We have experience taking care of dogs with trauma and separation anxiety, we understand the difficulties of having a dog who is scared to be alone. A little bit about the nonprofit. We working to make the house and all operations completely sustainable and closed loop. We have chickens and quails in a dog-proof cage ( so the dogs love to chase them through the fence), four different composts, a reptile rescue and do farm and agriculture workshops for the community. Operations for our programming is paid for via dog boarding, so your stay with us also helps fund larger community projects.
