A HOME away from HOME!

Pet care experience

Hi, I am Shemika R., and I Have relocated from Durham, NC. I have had family dogs my whole life, and have years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with rescue dogs and have experience caring for older dogs as well as dogs with traumatic backgrounds. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and that are well behaved. I sure can't wait to meet yours. I am a compassionate, dependable and dedicated pet sitter and walker. My pup Sage, and I want to welcome your sweet pup(s) into our loving home. Dogs and their families love me because of my endless patience and a knack for creative quick thinking, which is helpful for all different types of situations. I started being a pet sitter because I have a huge love for animals -- especially dogs. My own pup loves making new friends. I've always wanted to have a small business in pet sitting. Also, I know how hard and expensive it can be to find a pet-sitter, and I want to help as many people as I can. While I have worked with animals especially dogs on the professional level. I have long time experience dog-sitting different breeds through friends, family, and referrals, with specific breed experience with pit bills. I also volunteer occasionally. I am available part-time to walk, run, play with, and care for your dogs, as well as to stay with them overnights. I am reliable and prompt, and I will always be sure to check in with photos and updates about how your pets are doing while you're away. I adore spending time with animals and I am excited to care for your dogs!

Finding Shemika to watch my dog has been such a stress release, especially because my dog can be fearful of humans. She’s knowledgeable in dog behavior, has such great energy, and was willing to do anything she could to make me & my dog feel comfortable. We did a visit together before a trial boarding (which was free!) and both times I was put at ease! Highly recommend!!

Shemika was great! We left Pepper with her for 20 days and Shemika took very good care of her - made sure she got her medication, actively helped her to get over her homesickness, and sent us photos regularly of Pepper sunbathing. By the time we returned from our trip, Pepper had a new best friend. I’ll definitely count on Shemika again!

Shemika is great. We are so thankful to have found her on rover. She truly goes above and beyond when she is caring for our fur baby Lacey. We know Lacey is safe and in good hands when Shemika is sitting. I highly recommend Shemika and we plan to continue to hire her too.
