Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Veterinary Assistant💛🐾
Hello, I'm Shanieka, a Certified Veterinary Assistant with a passion for animals, supported by my husband of nine years. I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute in Houston Texas in 2019, and my background includes two years of dog boarding experience and three years working in an animal clinic with both canines & felines. My goal is to provide compassionate care, focusing on animal health and well-being.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shanieka is awesome. Simba has been cared for by Shanieka approximately 5 times. She sends videos and feedback on his visits keeping me informed. She has also been super instrumental in guiding him in taking care of his business outdoors, which I have continued at home using her schedule. Shanieka is also very in tune with her boarders personalities and matches them well with appropriate playmates. I’ll say it again, Shanieka is a godsend!
My dog loves to go with Shanieka! I’m always at ease leaving my dog there every time I’m in need. She’s always responsive & on time with drop off and pick up. I’m not from Hosuton, so finding her was a blessing! Thank you so much!
Always a great stay here
Fantastic service as per usual! Will always choose Shanieka for our pups stay
Excellent Care, what a relief that Pockets meals, care and exercise were well attended. If peace of mind is what you want, this is who you want to hire. I literally have no feedback and am booking again.
My dogs came home healthy, and the sitter seemed organized and experienced. Unfortunately, I discovered at pickup that my dog had been wearing an electronic training collar that was never discussed with me beforehand. The sitter later apologized and explained she had used the vibration function, but I believe any training device like this should only be used with the owner’s knowledge and consent. The lack of communication was disappointing, and although my dogs seem fine, I would not book with this sitter again.

Schedule
Pick-up and drop-off services are not available. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. 🐾 I have three happy pups of my own who enjoy playtime in the yard, cozy naps, yummy treats, and lots of love. 🐶💕 From sunrise to sunset, I’m hands-on with every fur baby, keeping tails wagging, paws safe, and hearts happy. 🥰
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take pride in giving every pet a safe, fun, and loving stay. From playtime to rest time, everything runs on structure and care. I am trained to observe and respond to any signs of distress, ensuring their well-being because your fur baby deserves nothing less than the best.
Pets
A typical day
Daily Walks: I ensure each pet receives multiple outdoor walks and runs daily, ranging from 4-6 walks based on their age and specific needs. For safety, all pets are kept on a leash during walks. After our morning walk, they’re served breakfast, unless a specific dietary schedule is provided. As part of my morning routine, I focus on walking all the dogs in my care and making sure everyone is fed and settled. Once that’s done, I’ll begin replying to messages and sending updates to all pet parents. Thank you so much for your patience! 🐾 Playtimes: I’ll keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pet during our play sessions. Playtime varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the number of pets in my care. I provide a variety of toys (sanitized daily), to ensure a safe and fun environment. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m happy to work on basic cues upon request. Nap Times: After active play, we wind down with quiet time and cuddles. I often play calming music to help them relax, providing a peaceful atmosphere that can also ease any anxiety.
