I love pets as I would a brother!

Pet care experience

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 hav 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!

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 :)

My baby girl Bubbles had a great time with Shakira. I received super cute pics of her on her walks and car ride through out the day ?

She was excellent with our senior blind dog. Patient, caring, sweet, and sent multiple photos and texts to keep us updated. She even used her own fluffy blanket because I forgot his bed.

Please notify before hand if your dog is good around people like if they get nervous, shy around other people and dogs. Also, how long they can go for a walk. I know some dogs can only walk for short amount of time.
