Highlights
Pet care experience
I love pets as I would a brother!
I have cared for pets specifically Pit bulls since I was 8. Over the span of 12 years I have cared for seven Pit bulls; Also known as American terriers. I specifically highlight I have cared for pit bulls because I know people and society tend to shy away from this breed and attach a negative perception. I am more than willing to care for your pit and can handle just about everything. I have cared for super active, young pups to the senior dog who sleeps all day. I have also learned how to train and teach them how to sit, stay, hand commands and potty train. My dogs have since passed away and I no longer own any dogs. I learned so much about Pit bulls and of course dog needs that have helped me in other areas of my life both professionally and personally. I absolutely adore them and all breeds and will be super enthused to care for your pet and their needs!
Cat care experience
Shakira also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Shakira did a great job watching all three of our dogs! She was attentive and very good at communication, we definitely would have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!
Shakira was a life saver when my a/c went out & I needed a cool place for Charli to spend the day. She kept me updated throughout the day of what/how charli was doing - which kept me feeling comfortable. Charli was very happy when I picked her up at the end of the day :)
She is awesome! Super nice, sends many puppy pics, and gives updates! Also, she is patient and accommodating! Will 100% book her again! 🫶🏼
She was awesome and very communicative! Super lovely, would get again! <3
Shakira is so kind. I really feel that my dog is in good care and being loved on whole I am not with her. Shakira keeps me updated and takes lots of photos for me to see what my dog is up to.
She's great! She took really good of my dog and sent plenty of pics to let me know he was okay! Will definitely be using her services again :)

I am mostly available to care for your pet during the weekends but I am also available early in the morning, evening and night during the weekdays. I attend university so I am mostly home if I am not at school.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet neighborhood. Also, if your dog were to stay at my home there is plenty of room for play and rest in my large backyard!
A typical day
The kinds of activity that I will do with your pet is make sure they are comfortable and play catch. If they don't know how to play catch I can teach them! Also, make sure they know where everything is like the back sliding door to go outside!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeShakira can host up to 1 pet per night
- Please notify before hand if your dog is good around people like if they get nervous, shy around other people and dogs. I say this because then I can know what to be cautious of if I were to walk them around my neighborhood. Also, how long they can go for a walk. I know some dogs can only walk for short amount of time.
