Super flexible with you in mind

Pet care experience

What’s cute, fun, and loved by all? Your pet, that’s who! I already love your pet just like they’re my own. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and fish ever since I can remember. In my teenage years, I specialized in helping to raise well-rounded pitbulls. Experience * Large and small breeds * Wide range of temperaments * Obedience training * Socialization training * Potty training * Puppy care * Oral medication * Studied Caesar Milan since childhood Accepts * All breeds including bully breeds * Cats * Small pets * All ages * Last minute/emergency * Flexible extensions * 24/7 requests I also understand the importance of health and boundaries. A healthy pet is a happy pet. A safe, healthy pet is even happier. All precautions will be taken at all times. In any situation, earning trust is the top priority. I want you, as the pet parent, to feel you can trust me with your pet. It is equally important that your pet feels safe and trusts me as well. I am here to assist you and care for your pet in any way that I can.

Good communication and housesitting! Shakira spent 5 nights housesitting our apartment and took good care of the pets, plants, and home.

Safety, trust & environment

When walking, I am very aware of my surroundings at all times and walk dogs on sidewalks or on the shoulder of the street to keep dogs away from parasites and other animal waste. I take frequent breaks for dogs that may need it (puppies, elderly dogs, and special needs dogs).

Information Shakira W. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are accepted. Meet and Greets are mandatory. Is your baby slow to accept strangers? Does your baby have any allergies? What are some triggers or fixations that you baby has? Is your baby a forager on walks? Do you have a routine? Is your baby on any medications? What are your commands? What is your baby’s activity level? What is your baby’s favorite activity? What are your baby’s aversions? I need to see a recent vet record for applicable services.

A typical day

I can throw a ball for hours and can roughhouse with the best of them. I enjoy going for long walks by lakes where dogs can have new experiences like seeing fish. I’m never out of belly scratches or ear rubs and love cuddles.
