Pet care experience

A family full of love to share!!

As a child I knew I wanted to take care of animals or humans. As I grew older I decided on being a RN was my calling however my love for animals never went away. I would say they are my happy place 😊. I’ve had dogs my entire life and will care for each one in my possession as if they were my own. Your pet will be loved from morning to Night. I work as a Nurse full time (2 12hr weekend shifts).My husband Nicko makes his own schedule as an Handyman and will be hands on in caring for your pet. All services will be carefully planned out so that your fur baby won’t miss human interaction not even for a minute. We also have three beautiful children that will be caring and sharing the responsibility for them throughout the day. Our back yard is fenced so play time will be either in the yard, a designated dog park or another dog friendly environment of choice.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 23, 2025

My Gunner enjoyed his daycare stay with Shakia and her husband and young son. Shakia was very communicative and sent may pics and video updates. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience. She was amazing with our dog (shady) he is very energetic and loves running. She was great with him I will definitely use her again to watch my fur baby in the future and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks.

They were great with my pup! They answered last minute and were so kind even when I was running late. I can look at my dog and tell he was in great hands!
