Pet care experience
Hi there! Let me start by introducing myself. I speak English, Dutch, Papiamento and Spanish so feel free to message me in the language you are most comfortable with. I am originally from the sunny island Aruba but i moved to the Netherlands a few years ago to pursue my studies. Since my studies allow me to work from home i currently have lots of free time. I have loved animals since I was little and you could always find me outside with the dogs, cats, rabbits you name it. I love caring for animals since it brings me so much happiness and i love seeing how happy they become when i play with them or care for them. Ever since I can remember, I have always had animals around me. I can’t imagine not having them around. I also regularly looked after the dogs of my neighbors or friends which made me gain lots of experience. I have a sweet dog at home which i adopted when i got here and his name is Yari. Yari enjoys making new friends and getting to know other dogs. He is a bit older but still full of life and energy and gets along well with other dogs. So I also see this as an opportunity for him to make more friends and have some company over at home. I have enough time, attention, energy and love for the dogs and i would therefore like to help where possible with babysitting and hosting for others. I would like to open my doors for other dogs to stay here and enjoy themselves. My home has a big yard for your beloved pet to run and play in. What you can expect when your dog is staying with us: ⁃ A minimum of 3 walks a day depending on your dogs schedule ⁃ Lots of cuddles and love ⁃ Lots of playtime and fun We keep your dogs schedule in mind and what he’s used to so this can all be discussed. What we expect when your dog is staying with us: ⁃ My dog gets treated to prevent ticks and fleas so we would appreciate it if your dog is also treated for this. ⁃ I do not have experience with high risk dogs so it’s important that your dog gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t have any behavioral issues. When your pets stay with us they will be treated like they are our own with lots of love and affection. For more information, please feel free to send me a message. Hoi! Laat ik beginnen met mezelf voor te stellen. Ik spreek Engels, Nederlands, Papiamento en Spaans, dus stuur mij gerust een bericht in de taal waarmee u zich het prettigst voelt. Ik kom oorspronkelijk van het zonnige eiland Aruba, maar ben een paar jaar geleden naar Nederland verhuisd voor mijn studie. Omdat ik door mijn studie thuis kan werken, heb ik momenteel veel vrije tijd. Sinds ik klein was hield ik van dieren en je kon me altijd buiten vinden met de honden, katten, konijnen noem maar op. Ik hou ervan om voor dieren te zorgen, omdat het mij zoveel geluk brengt en ik vind het leuk om te zien hoe blij ze worden als ik met ze speel of voor ze zorg. Sinds ik mij kan herinneren heb ik altijd dieren om mij heen gehad. Ik kan me niet voorstellen dat ik ze niet in de buurt heb. Ook zorgde ik regelmatig voor de honden van mijn buren of vrienden waardoor ik veel ervaring heb gekregen. Ik heb thuis een lieve hond die ik heb geadopteerd toen ik hier kwam wonen en zijn naam is Yari. Yari vindt het leuk om nieuwe vrienden te maken en andere honden te leren kennen. Hij is wat ouder maar nog steeds vol leven en energie en kan goed overweg met andere honden. Dus ik zie dit ook als een kans voor hem om meer vrienden te maken en wat gezelschap in huis te hebben. Ik heb voldoende tijd, aandacht, energie en liefde voor de honden en wil daarom graag waar mogelijk helpen met het oppassen en logeren van andere hondjes. Ik wil graag mijn deuren openen zodat andere honden hier kunnen blijven en zich kunnen vermaken. Mijn woning heeft een ruime tuin zodat uw viervoeter zich lekker kan vermaken. Wat u kunt verwachten als uw hond bij ons verblijft: - Minimaal 3 wandelingen per dag, afhankelijk van het schema van uw hond - Veel knuffels en liefde - Veel speeltijd en plezier We houden rekening met het schema van uw hond en wat hij gewend is, zodat dit allemaal kan worden besproken. Wat wij verwachten als uw hond bij ons verblijft: - Mijn hond wordt behandeld om teken en vlooien te voorkomen, dus wij zouden het op prijs stellen als uw hond hier ook voor behandeld wordt. - Ik heb geen ervaring met honden met een hoog risico. Het is dus belangrijk dat uw hond goed met andere honden overweg kan en geen gedragsproblemen heeft. Wanneer uw huisdieren bij ons verblijven, worden ze met veel liefde behandeld alsof ze van ons zijn. Voor meer informatie kunt u mij gerust een bericht sturen.
Reviews

My dog Zara had a wonderful week with Shakira! She is a very friendly, responsible person and clearly a true dog lover. I felt comfortable leaving Zara in her care. What I especially appreciated was that Shakira kept me updated almost every day with messages and photos. It really reassured me and helped me relax, knowing Zara was happy and well looked after. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners.

Shakira lacks courtesy & empathy for being a pet caregiver. She persuaded me to transfer money on her personal account to buy herself a new living room rug, as my 5 months puppy had an accident on it. I felt sorry, & wanted to help but upon seeing the rug myself that she claimed to be fully soiled & not fit for use, seemed to have 0 visible stain or dirt. Upon refusing to pay her, she started to send me long chat gpt drafted texts accusing my puppy to be unsafe for her home, and that she caused damage to her furniture too on 1st day, Which was ridiculous to me as the 2 days she spent with my puppy, she kept telling me she has no issues with her except that she is not doing poo outside. Which is normal behavior of a puppy! I found her really immature to cancel my 3rd day booking 1 day prior, as that caused me immense stress to find alternative sitter at such short notice. This whole episode has caused me trauma that how can a pet caregiver behavior be so unpredictable/unprofessional ..!! Lastly, she even mentioned that she usually works from home office, and on same days she is also having pets to care for..which is strange as the puppies need full attention and can’t be left unattended. Would urge the people booking with her to be mindful for above occurrences that can cause you inconveniences. I have learnt my lesson and will ensure to visit the pet caregiver residence prior to committing to long term recurring bookings with them. As I have lost trust now.


Sharkira did great both dogs were happy. Will definitely book again.

Shakira is the best! She updated us frequently, communicated thoroughly, and took care of Milanis incredibly well. We cant wait to use her again when we travel!
