Shamika did a wonderful job caring for Baylee. We just relocated here and I was feeling anxious and unsure about finding a new sitter. Shamika made us feel welcomed and I could tell she was authentically a caring spirit upon meeting her. Thank you Shamika. We will definitely be seeing you again. Soon lol.

Shamika was amazing. The communication was great as she shared pictures of my fur baby! My dog had an amazing time and I will definitely book with her again! One happy 1st time Rover user!

We have trusted our kittens with kennels and friends but this was our first time using Rover. We are so grateful Shamika accepted our request. It was clear from the start that our cats were in competent, compassionate, and deeply considerate care with her.

We have been using Shamika for the past couple of years and she is amazing. We always check her availability before booking a vacation. Our dog Rylee just loves her. Shamika is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

Shamika has watched our dog twice now, and both experiences have been amazing! You can truly feel the love and care she puts into every moment. She communicates consistently and sends daily updates, pictures, and videos, which gives us total peace of mind. We can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our pup.

Shamika did a wonderful job with Rocket! She made him feel right at home. As I looked at the pictures and video she sent me, I could tell he was happy and having a good time. I will be scheduling time with her again in the future and recommend her highly.
