I love my job!
Pet care experience
Hello there, my name is Sekina Ward, I am 20 years old and currently go to Sacramento State University as a full time student. I have over 6 years of professional dog sitting experience, along with 4 years of house sitting and general pet sitting experience. I have my certification in animal CPR and am a licensed animal lover with a PHD in puppy fever. Aside from my excellent expertise, I am a reliable, punctual, and trust worthy person who has a serious passion for animals. In terms of business, I prefer to communicate through rover. You can message me on rover or you can call, whatever works best for you. I always respond within less than 24 hours (within an hour most of the time). My pet care routine includes an animal introduction between your dog and mine, a minimum of three walks per day that include picture/video message updates from me, an hour of play time and exercise, and tons of love from me and my family. I also make home made doggy treats (with your permission of course). I live in a smaller apartment in Greenhaven with two other family members, who are also huge animal lovers that do an awesome job helping me with our furry friends. If there are any questions that I have not answered, please feel free to ask them. Sincerely, Sekina Ward
Reviews
Sekina was really great about sending updates every day and took excellent care of our dog. We would definitely recommend her, as well as use her services again!
Let me start by saying rover is an awesome site. Sekina is very rude once there was a conflict. So here is the story: She took in both of my dogs, the little one is really easy going but I have a hyper dog with severe skin and stomach allergies. She's high energy and can bark if spooked but a very sweet dog. We didn't do a proper meet and greet with everyone in that small apartment and I dropped off 4 or 5 hrs before I needed to be at my flight. She messages me 2.5 hrs later telling me my ESA dog, who has done work with special needs, was an aggressive dog and I needed to pick them both up. She had been growling at her other family members because SHE NEEDED TIME TO ADJUST. I begged her to just give her time and she refused. I cancelled my flight and when I picked her up, she admitted she had calmed down and would have kept her. Too bad my flight was cancelled and cost me 200 to do so and not lose it. So here is the dangerous thing she did. . . I arrived and asked where the doses of flea and tick were (chewable for big dog and topical for little) she said she put the topical half on each dog because she said her dog has fleas and she didn't realize so without checking she gives them the medicine. That's extremely dangerous. If the topical had been for my big dog and put on the 10 pound she could have been in SERIOUS health risk. Sekina is a dog hobbiest not worthy of care taking. I wasn't going to leave a negative reviews until she did something you don't do with 10 and 65 lb dogs which is mix medicine.
Zero complaints! Selina is thoughtful, enthusiastic and responsible. She sent us daily updates including photos and videos of our pup. She also left our home just as we had left it. No sign she had been there! We'd hire her again in a heartbeat!
I got to say that my dog, Max, is a bit too hard to handle sometimes but Sekina made it so easy! She asked us if we had any questions/concerns, updated us with pictures and videos, and had flexible drop off/pick up times. Max was definitely all well taken care of. I would love to have her pet sit Max again :)
