Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Shakira I have been working with many different types of animals for years! I have experience with basic medicine, medication administration, and many other important concepts of animal care! I am passionate about my job and would love to help you care for your pet! I have pet sitting experience with many clients from past veterinary clinics, but I am looking to expand these services to more locals! I have worked with many species, including farm and exotic animals. I specialize in dogs, including utilizing low stress techniques for aggressive or anxious dog breeds. Please contact me for any information regarding booking or if you have any more questions or concerns. I’m excited to hear about you and your pet!

Shakira helped us out last minute and she was very professional! We have a cat that is a little shy and also needs medication twice daily, and she managed to make him feel comfortable and get him his medicine every day that we were gone! Highly recommend her!!

I loved Shakira for my Girls. She gave updates and pics that made me feel good while away for a whole week. She was very detail oriented and I can’t wait to use her again !! Than you !

Shakira was AWESOME! My husband and I were in Danville to see family. Schatzie is 17 and we can’t leave her alone too long. Shakira took care of her so we could enjoy dinner with my family. When we received a pic of Schatzie sleeping, we knew she felt safe. If you need someone to watch your pup, use her! You won’t regret it! Thank you for taking care of our fur baby.
