Pet care experience

Your dog’s favorite person 🥰😌

I’ve been totally obsessed with dogs since the age of 10, while choosing at that young age to overcome my fear of them. My dream was to be a veterinarian or animal behaviorist, but due to life & no-fault of her own, my mother could not provide those things. I became a mother myself, shortly upon entering adulthood. Ultimately, I let that dream go. My family and friends however, call me the Cesar Millan of the family :) I pride myself and being really great at training, loving wholeheartedly and unconditionally, and making any dog like me that tried not to before. I tell people all the time, when I see a dog, it needs to either bother me or or I’m going to bother it or I’m going to leave and cry in the car. I am just a stay at home mom who would love to give you peace of mind by caring for and spoiling your babies while also taking care of mine in the process.

She did such an amazing job watching after my Lox!! Was so attentive and constantly kept me updated! she sent me lots of sweet pictures as well. Before the boarding, she set up a meet and greet with her dog which was so nice. She was very through with her questions which I really appreciate and made me know my dog was in good hands!

Shaquina is an absolute gem when it comes to pet sitting! I couldn't be happier with her attentive care for my fur baby. She not only sticks to their diet with precision but also goes the extra mile to ensure they're happy and healthy. What truly sets her apart is her excellent communication skills. She keeps me updated with regular texts and photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing my baby is in good hands. It's such a relief to have found someone as dedicated and caring as Shaquina. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter.

Shaquina is so good with my bully! She really treats my dog like family. She has other well-trained dogs for my dog to play with as well. I feel more comfortable leaving my girl with ShaQuina more than some of my own family members lol

Schedule

It is summertime, I’m a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. If your baby is good in public, he or she could also tagalong for our random family walks at different locations if you are comfortable with it. I don’t especially like leaving them at home anyway. Most times though, we ar home! We’re all home bodies lol

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, two super affectionate, playful dogs of my own. My little family is also equally obsessed with fur babies, although I’ll be the one caring for your pet(s), my children will be there to lend some extra pets and loving. 🥰I’m good at reading body language, so I will be able to help minimize or relieve stress from your baby.

Pets

A typical day

We usually get a walk in no later than 12pm on the weekends and during breaks, mornings can be wild. If it’s school time we’ll get the walk in by 8am. We go to dog parks (if that’s what you want as well) , I love to find trails or regular spacious parks for them to run and smell. We play games that double as a training session.

0 to 15 lbs

41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only

Shaquina can host up to 2 pets per night
If your dog has any behaviors I need to know of, please let me know ahead of time. A lot of dogs have the same body language when feeling a certain way, but all fur babies are different and I want to give your baby(ies) the same love and care I’d want someone to give mine. Also, let me know what your dog LOVESSSSS, and I’d be happy to feed into that. ?
