18 Years of Loving Dog Care
I’m a lifelong dog owner with 18 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 13, when I became the primary caregiver for my first dog, Jojo, a Shih Tzu who lived a long, happy life into old age. Since then, I’ve cared for several breeds, including a Pit Bull, Australian Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Yorkshire Terriers. Today, I care for a busy household of seven dogs, including a senior dog, adult dogs, and young puppies, so I’m very comfortable managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, personalities, and routines all at once. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and understanding that every dog is unique. I have experience with puppy care, senior dog care, administering medications when needed, crate training, potty training reinforcement, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. As a rugby coach, I’m also very active, so energetic dogs who love long walks, runs, or play sessions are right up my alley. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I’ll care for your dog as if they were one of my own by keeping them safe, sticking to their routine, providing regular updates, and making sure they receive lots of love and attention while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I understand how important it is to follow each owner’s instructions and maintain their pet’s routine while they are away. I have experience managing multi-dog households, puppy care, crate routines, feeding schedules, walks, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a calm, patient, and loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Stop scrolling and just book Shamira already. Her communication is lightning-fast, she’s impeccably punctual, and the photo updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was out. Most importantly, my dog took to her immediately and always returned home happy, relaxed, and perfectly content. Finding someone this reliable, respectful, and naturally skilled with dogs in the city is rare. Shamira is the real deal, book her before her schedule fills up!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. As a lifelong dog owner and experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, including consistent feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, play, and rest. I’m able to provide regular attention throughout the day and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.

- Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure I understand your pet before proving my care. Please let me know about your dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, separation anxiety, training routines, or any behaviors I should be aware of. I appreciate knowing your dog’s personality, including how they interact with other dogs, children, new environments, and new people, so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible.
