Pet care experience

Experienced in pet care

I’ve grown up around animals and have raised my dog since I was 14. I’ve had a lot of pets in my life time and have experience in supplying medication. I had, unfortunately, a dog with renal disease as she was born with undeveloped kidneys and was trained to give her medication and put her on the drip from home. Your pets will be in safe hands with me. I understand every owner and dog have their own preferences and reasons to do so and I will make sure I follow your preferred set of instructions. As I know how important pets are.

House Sitting • Oct 12, 2025

Shakira was exceptional. She was attentive, professional and tremendously caring with all 3 of our cats (our babies!). She is a natural, Mist & Toby and our older fur-boy Oscar was right at ease the moment they met her. Oscar is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day and Shakira was able to do this along with administering oral medication for him effectively during the house sitting. Shakira gave us the peace of mind we were seeking, by keeping us informed and sending cute pics of all 3. We knew our babies were in good hands and we remain deeply grateful for her kind care and professionalism. Shakira is a super-star and we will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Shakira, you done great! Lots of love Saira, Tom & Co (fur-gang) xxx🥰🤩🐾

Shakira has been our Christmas holiday savior! Whilst we were left unfortunately with no dogsitter (last minute cancellation) at the eve of our trip, we made a booking with Shakira as she has been excellent with communication, confirming everything in very undue time after 10pm. She has been so responsive and when leaving with her our dog, not only she accepted to onboard him for Christmas but she has been very diligent, asking for all health conditions, dietary requirements etc. She sent pictures, all very sweet and videos without me asking. She updated us constantly again from her own initiatives and she even offered a Christmas present and a card to our pug. It's just very sweet of her! She's an angel and we can only recommend her to anyone who wants someone responsible to look after your loving companions. One more thing, whilst we dropped our dog, we forgot our dog's bed but she said that she had one in her place! And it looked very comfy. We are super happy to have found her and we won't hesitate to renew our booking in the future. Thanks so much Shakira for everything, all our very best wishes from us all and Lucky! Happy New Year!

Very happy with how Shakira looked after my dog. She sent lovely videos of her having a great time and I knew that my dog was comfortable and content the whole week. Shakira is a great dog sitter, would recommend to anyone.
