Pet care experience

I worked at Petsmart for 5 years, which provided me with knowledge about dog nutrition and how to manage any difficulties that may occur while taking care of a pet. Also, I had my own dog (Great Dane). Even though I have been surrounded by pets since I was little, my Great Dane was my first dog under my care and my first love.

Shakira took fantastic care of our elderly pug! She took care of his every need and gave him so much love. Lots of pictures too!

Shakira was absolutely amazing with Keema! From the start, she was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pup in her care. Keema came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved, which says everything. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine care she showed throughout the stay. It’s such a relief finding someone I can fully trust with my dog. We’ll definitely be booking with Shakira again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
