I highly recommend Yakia for Rover! She is caring, incredibly kind, and attentive with animals. As a pet owner herself, she genuinely understands how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. She even offered to watch my two cats when I had to go out of town, and I immediately trusted her because of how thoughtful and responsible she is. Any pet would be in great hands with her!

Your pets will be in greats hands with Kia. She’s takes wonderful care of her own dog Chowder, and she took great care of my cat Olive when I was out of town. Plus she’s a lawyer.

Yakia did great with my 11 month old cat Nola! I had a last minute trip and booked Yakia to check in on Nola while I was gone. She made sure Nola was fed, her litter was changed and even took the time to play with her. I will definitely be booking again in the future!

Yakia is a phenomenal furbaby caregiver! She has shown this through thoughtful care of her own dog through walks, nutritious meals and treats, and an abundance of hugs and scratches. Yakia treats all pets as if they are her own, ensuring individual and specialized needs are met for animals of all ages and breeds. She takes responsibility very seriously and that reflects in her caregiving. Highly recommend!!

Yakia is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. She treats every pet like her own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine compassion really stand out. I would absolutely trust Yakia to care for my pets without hesitation
