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!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have no pets in my home, so if selecting to board, your animal would have my full attention. I do require that animals are comfortable with young children. If selecting day care, I am experienced with accessing homes for walks and pick up/drop off.

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!!

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.

Shakira saved my dog’s life!! When I went out of town, she noticed that my dog, Jenny, was acting strange. With my permission, she took him to the vet right away, moments before he had a seizure! It was her help that allows us to diagnose Jenny’s diabetes and she has cared for her ever since! She helped us find the best way to give Jenny her shots, since she is so timid and scared of needles (understandable). She also gives her injections when we’re out of town! We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for our Jenny. Great job Shakira!!!!!!

We would definitely recommend Shakira and will absolutely be contacting her again ourselves! She was excellent and patient with our two dogs and understood each of their differences. Shakira is very considerate and conscientious, too. Outstanding experience!
