All around animal lover 💜🐾

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE. I have 4 indoor only cats. My Senior girl, Beauty, my “twin” boys Onyx&Obsidian and my youngest addition Jasper-Carnelian. I happily take on dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents and even farm animals! I’ve been regularly working with dogs, cats and small animals as a professional pet sitter and dog walker for the past 4+ years. I’ve been caring for and owned cats since I was a child. I’m also insured outside of Rover. Owners should book with me because I care for their pet in a consistent way that reflects their owner’s values and training methods. Providing exceptional care is my main goal and I work hard to ensure every client is beyond satisfied with my services. I’ll water your plants if needed, bring your mail in and make sure your home is as clean as you left it.

Masheika took good care of our dog, with walks and affection. She’s on time and reliable! We’re lucky to have her!

Masheika did a great job with my two dogs and always kept me up to date with pics. I really appreciated her attention to detail!

Safety, trust & environment

Being a pet owner myself I keep my place tidy and all harmful things locked away. I make sure front doors are locked and windows aren’t open too wide. Pets are rarely left out of my sight. I have cameras in home to monitor them while I’m away. I’ll happily water your plants with provided instructions and bring in your mail and packages. Boarding expectations: - Crates are requested for first time guests or dogs with separation anxiety (I can’t host those with severe separation anxiety i.e crying, howling and barking).Failure to provide honest information will be subjected to a fine and possibly block from future booking. -2-3 updates will be sent per day - my building has a pet relief area and we are next a very large park - I do not host more than one family at a time unless I know both dogs well and know they would get along. You will be notified of this every time. There is dog park a few blocks away that I frequent. I’m familiar with most the dogs and owners. I usually take pups over at least once a day with owner’s permission.

Information Masheika S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s allergies, medical needs, things that they are afraid of or stressed out by, etc., as well as if they are house broken, crate trained, spayed/neutered, proof of being UTD on shots. 2 emergency contacts are recommended along with vet info. All breeds and species are welcomed but unfortunately I do have a weight limit per my lease. Height and age will be taken in consideration as well. I will send a google doc to input your pets information.

A typical day

Our time together will be spent prioritizing their care, comfort and all the attention and affection your pet wants. I provide daily photos and check ins! I love taking my more portable clients on errands with me. I own a small stroller to tote them around in so I don’t have to leave them outside a store.

I work part time providing services to pet parents between the loop and Hyde park. I love what I do and take pride in it everyday. I’m usually with your pet most of the day when I’m not running errands or tending to other clients. If you’d like early morning(before 9am) or night(after 5pm) visits/walks it would be an upcharge. Effective immediately 6/18/2021 Due to my ever changing schedule all services outside of boarding are subjected to a two hour completion window unless medicine needs to be administered at specific times. Boarding pups who aren’t completely potty trained will incur an additional $10 a day fee.
