Your Pup is My Pup

Hi there, I'm Shakira and I am a true, tried, and tested dog whisperer! The only person, other than me who will take better care of your baby is you! If I take you on as a client, I will love your dog(s) as if they were my own. I am a passionate, loving and trustworthy animal lover with experience caring for many different kind of animals. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, growing up I had several dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and rabbits. I love dogs! Snuggle time is endless and they have the energy and curiosity of children! For the most part, they are pretty straightforward about what they want/need and they enjoy the simple things in life. While I miss having my own pup, I am away from home too often. So for now, why not love, snuggle, run with and take care of other people’s furbabies!? By doing so through RoverGo, I have a support system and more safety.

I really cannot say enough good things about Shakira. She is a wonderful, kind and caring soul who we trust absolutely and completely with our dog and our home. She is exactly the kind of person you should entrust with caring for your pup while you’re away: thoughtful, communicative, and reliable. Thank you again and again Shakira!!

Shakira is just the best! She is a kind and caring soul who we trust immensely with our dog and our home. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again and again.

This is the second time I’ve asked Shakira to watch my Doberman, Laila and could not be more pleased. My dog can be super energetic and Shakira does a great job with her. I’ve even received compliments from my neighbors of how good she is when I’m away. Shakira is very responsive , detail oriented and sends daily updates and photos. HIGHLY recommend!
