Let me walk you furbaby!

Hello!! My name is Shakoya and I am here to help take awesome care of your babies!! I have 5 years of experience with puppies and adult furbabies. I love meeting new furbabies and creating a relationship of trust and fun with them. As a child, I owned two German-Sherpards/ Pitbull mix males, so I am comfortable around any size dog. As a fur parent, I understand how important it is to find a caregiver that you can trust to take care of your baby. I personally have a furbaby called Versace, (miniature pinscher) that I trust the best to care for. I am committed to taking care of your baby as my own. I am a full-time fur baby caretaker and have a very flexible schedule. I am home each day, giving me the unique opportunity to take care of your furbaby when you are at work, school, or just out with friends. I am available for Walks and Drop-in Visits. As walking is my preferred exercise choice, I am up to walking miles with your furbaby. Safety is my top priority and FUN. I often visit dog parks and have treats and water on hand to ensure your furbaby can ensure themselves without fear exertion. I am an awesome communicator who will take the time to give your furbaby all the cubbies and love they deserve. Requested Information about your Furbaby I would like to know if your furbaby has any special needs, such as diet, separation anxiety, or any health issues also, if you can give their usual schedule for walking and feeding that is helpful as I want to adhere to their schedule as much as possible. I don't offer animal care in my house as I can't serve your furbaby as we would like. I am looking forward to expanding this offer soon.

We went on vacation for two weeks. Shakoya showed up faithfully each day twice a day to walk Duke. Duke loves Shakoya and she is very good around dogs. High grades for communication, reliability and responsiveness.

Shakoya was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress free. My flight was delayed, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and understanding pet sitter. Thank you again, Shakoya!

We have utilized Shakoya’s services many times. Our dog, Eggo LOVES her. She takes such good care of him while we are away. We can travel knowing he is in good hands. She is reliable and goes above and beyond.
