Experienced Dog and Cat Sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve had and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. My neighbors call on me as they know how much I love their pets as my own. I have experience with training and had an Australian Labradoodle as well as cat. I am not quite ready to get a new dog but would love to spend time with some furry friends with my current flexibility!

Shakara was amazing. She cared for a dog like she was her own, giving lots of love and snuggles. She sent us daily updates and photos and was just kind and lovely to work with. We are so grateful we found her!

Cannot say enough good things about Shakara! My dog was so loved and cared for and I got frequent updates and photos. She took her hiking and swimming and spent lots of quality time with her. Shakara has a very kind, calm energy and my dog just loved her.

Shakara is an amazing caregiver. We have requested her multiple times to care for our two boxer pups. She deeply cares about animals she takes care of, and delivers in a timely manner. We will be using her services on an ongoing basis.
