Pet care experience

Joyful walks, loving care. 🐾

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

Boarding • juil. 16, 2026

She is very professional and you can see that she loves animals. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, she sent me photos and videos constantly. I would repeat whenever necessary because I felt a lot of confidence and security.

Rebooked again with Shakira because she is caring responsible and my dog has a great time with her dog. Very thankful for the care.

I had such a wonderful experience with Shakira as our dog sitter! From start to finish, she was incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. What really stood out to me was the constant updates—she sent plenty of videos and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for my Rocco was. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats the dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care, and I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend! — ¡Tuve una experiencia maravillosa con Shakira como cuidadora de mi perro! Desde el principio hasta el final, fue muy cariñosa, atenta y profesional. Lo que más me encantó fueron las actualizaciones constantes: enviaba muchos videos y fotos, lo que me dio mucha tranquilidad y me permitió ver lo feliz y bien cuidado que estaba mi Rocco. Se nota que realmente ama lo que hace, y eso se refleja en la forma en que cuida a los animales. Me sentí completamente tranquila dejando a mi mascota en sus manos y sin duda volveré a utilizar sus servicios. ¡La recomiendo totalmente!

Shakira has been amazing with my Beagle, Rocco. I highly recommend her. She’ll take care of your dog as if it were her own.
