Pet care experience

By their side during every stride!

I live for long walks, dog parks, new pets friends, and belly rubs. I am a certified Vet Tech, and I honestly prefer to be with animals more than humans. Your pet's needs will always be met, with me on the clock. I have worked for 3 dog services in LA-DC. I'm currently on WAG. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable with your choice. I want to bring peace to you and your pet just like they would bring me.

Shakeia is wonderful! My dog always has a great time with her while I’m gone for a week at a time. She doesn’t get stressed, anxious or destructive despite me being gone for a decent chunk of time. Shakeia and my pup have a ton of fun together, and it’s nice to know my dog is being taken care of and loved while I’m not there. Highly recommend Shakeia!

Shakeia is awesome! She is lively and fun. Shakeia kept in contact with us during the entire stay and wasnt afraid to ask us questions to make sure Nova was doing well. Our dog had so much fun with Shakeia. We will definitely be returning!

Shakeia is so wonderful! She's consistent about sending photos and updates and went above and beyond in dealing with some of my dog's medical issues when I was away. I've booked her repeatedly and plan to do so again.

Shakiea was fantastic! She had great communication, was awesome with the pets, and obviously cared for them at first meeting. I’d highly recommend her to watch any of your pets
