Responsible and reliable pet sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for more exotic animals in the past (turtle, rabbit, snakes). I have experience with animals who require extra care and am comfortable administering medication if it is needed.

Yakira was amazing! We have an older special needs Frenchie that she took great care of, plus two sweet kittens. She left the house immaculate, was reachable and quick to respond, sent pics of our babies to us, and just generally a joy to work with. Highly recommend!!

Yakira was great, we received regular updates about the pets and I'm pretty sure our home was cleaner than we left it. She did some extra work with our senior cat who needs a little extra care due to his CKD. It was very clear that the animals were well taken care of and got plenty of attention while we were away.

Yakira was awesome. She took super care of our senior dog and active cat and left the house as we did for her (actually better than that). Excellent communication and photo sharing too. Animals were happy and well adjusted when we got home. I highly recommend booking with Yakira!

Yakira did a great job of communicating, cleaning, and being respectful of our space. She is honest, responsible and responsive. We had very spotty service for most of our vacation, and it was helpful that she responded right away. The only thing that I would say is, I am not sure how much she hiked or took our dog out for walks. A lot of the pics she took were our animals hanging out inside. To be fair, I am not sure because I didn’t get to ask her and I didn’t inquire about this at the end. She is honest, when I asked about a hike earlier in our trip she told me she wasn’t able to take him yet but planned to later. I am just not sure if she did. No big deal, I still give her 5 stars because in the end honesty, communication, and love is the most important. Regardless, he gets to hike lots of trails with us.
