“She is absolutely the best!!! She has taken care of our babies multiple times and always has been willing to help and give the best care of our 3 dogs.”
“Shafika is amazing! My pups are not the easiest, but she handled them beautifully. And they love her so much! Even my one pup who is slow to warm up was out and about with her and slept with her every night. I got great reports throughout the day and soooooo many pics! I am a natural born worrier, but I had a great time on vacation knowing they were in such capable, loving hands! And to top it off, the house was clean when I got home! I can’t say enough great things about Shafika!!!”
“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve work with dogs in the professional field training dogs for 5 years now. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets . I am always available throughout the week.

About: I have been trained as a vet technician and animal care by the military. I have taken care of animals since childhood, and I believe all animals are part of the family I currently working on my own homestead, and I maintain our family animals and needs on a daily basis. Some may say that they are part of my daily chores, but I do not consider my babies as choirs. I have a fenced in yard. The yard is segmented for separation and safety. I have loving dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. They are able to be in the same areas together with no issues, but my farm is segmented for privacy amongst the animals as well. I feel everyone has their way of loving their babies, and the baby deserves consistency in their normal routines. I find this is most important when missing their human.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities and needs.

Friends and family often trust me with their pets, and I always make sure each one feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I’m super flexible and love spending my days with furry friends! I’m usually available on weekdays from early mornings to evenings, which makes me a great fit for walks, potty breaks, or daytime drop-ins. Weekends are more open and relaxed, so I’m happy to help with longer stays or extra playtime. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule—your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort mean the world to me. I always make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment where they feel at home, whether we’re out on a walk or hanging out inside.

About: I'm well versed in caring for senior animals, especially those with hearing and vision loss. If medications need giving, I'm happy to oblige. I have less experience with small animals but do love them with all my heart. I work a regular 9-5 but am willing to do morning, afternoon and night visits unless otherwise stated. I typically have a regular 1 hour lunch which should leave me plenty of time to come let babies out as needed. Your pets are my pets! I have 4 cats, 3 chickens and 1 approaching senior doggo. I will likely talk to them in an annoying voice and embarrassingly spill all my secrets to them.

Jhakeria M.
“I cannot recommend Jhakeria highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet care. Jhakeria took the time to get to know our pets' routines, preferences, and quirks, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Our dog, Bella, and cat, Snow, were both so happy and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received. Jhakeria sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of our pets, but she also took great care of our home. Everything was spotless upon our return, and she even watered our plants! Jhakeria’s attention to detail, reliability, and kindness truly set she apart. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, look no further than Jhakeria. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
