About Shama S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!

I will take your pets out to explore their surroundings! Depending on energy level, we can jog, run, and play, or just keep it low key and full of sniffing.

Pet care experience
I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for!

Shama also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I highly recommend this dog walker! Shama is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about animals. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy, well-exercised, and well cared for. Communication is excellent—shama provide updates and are always punctual and dependable. It’s clear she treat every dog as if it were their own. Having someone I can trust with my pet gives me great peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with shama’s service and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
Shama is a thorough professional, warm, and friendly dog walker. She made sure Cooper was walked well and even customized the walk according to his specific needs. I truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism when she voluntarily returned a portion of the fee after I requested a shorter walk than the originally agreed 30 minutes. That gesture reflects genuine integrity and care for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate dog walking services.
Shama took care of our family's dog for one week, and my cat the following week. I had to travel out of the country on short notice due to a death in the family, and Shama, who was so kind to offer to watch both of them while I was gone, was nothing but caring, compassionate, and deeply devoted to their care and wellbeing. Her attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine love for animals shines in the way that she cared for my dog and cat. My dog went from hesitantly walking a lap with her in the park to waiting every day by the front door for her to come by and pick him up for walks that would leave him happy and content when he came home. My cat, known for being skittish around strangers and hostile to vets, quickly warmed up to her as well. Her patience and compassion for the animals around her is evident in the way that even the most reserved of pets enjoy her presence. I would leave my animals in her care without even a second thought.
Shama was great with Daisy. She helped walked Daisy last minute and was very communicative through the process. I’ll definitely book again. Thank you Shama!
