“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast.

I would definitely recommend her, and if she’d have my girlies back, I will be a repeat customer. Thanks Marie!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life with family pets, but I’ve had my own for 10 years. My animals are family, and I promise to treat yours the same. I have experience taking care of puppies and kittens (my husband and I have fostered 2 litters of kittens), and have a rescue pit-mix. I am also experienced with taking care of animals who are anxious as I had to work through that with my dog. My friends rely on me to take care of their animals when needed. I’m currently working full time as a teacher, but my schedule is pretty flexible during the summer. Right now, during the week I can drop by in the late afternoon/evenings, or any time on the weekends. During the summer, I can drop by any time during the week! I have a fenced yard and a dog that gets along will with others! If I do house sitting, I stay at the house and spend as much time there with your pet as possible.
“Faith was amazing. She send me daily updated and photos, my dog seemed to have a great time. She was very sweet and asked a lot of questions about nova to keep everything very similar to her schedule at home! Would definitely recommend.”
“I was nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home. Tianna was so kind and caring of Max. Sent me pictures and videos, updates throughout the day. Definitely will book again.”
