Pet care experience
Hello! I'm an enthusiastic pet lover with a wealth of experience and a unique set of skills that sets me apart from other sitters. Here's why I believe I'm the perfect choice for your furry family members: 1. 15 Years of Dog and Cat Care Experience: I've spent over a decade and a half caring for dogs and cats, and during this time, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and preferences. This extensive experience has allowed me to adapt to a wide range of personalities and breeds, ensuring that your pets receive the best care possible. 2. Professional Pet Care Experience in New York City: I've honed my skills as a professional pet care provider in the bustling metropolis of New York City for over a year. This experience has exposed me to the diverse needs and demands of urban pets, making me well-prepared to handle the unique challenges that city living can present. 3. Dog Training Expertise: What truly sets me apart is my dedication to canine training. I am currently completing a rigorous dog training program under the guidance of one of the leading international dog trainers. This specialized education equips me with advanced knowledge and techniques to work with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. 4. Passion for Puppy Training: I am a proud parent to a Carolina Dog puppy named Penny, and I absolutely love to train her. This hands-on experience with my own furry friend means that I understand the specific needs and energy levels of puppies. Whether it's housebreaking, basic commands, or socialization, I have the skills to give your young pup the guidance they need to become a well-behaved and happy dog. 5. Senior Pet Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I also have extensive experience in caring for senior dogs and cats. I'm sensitive to their unique needs, including medication administration, mobility assistance, and providing a comfortable and loving environment to make their golden years as enjoyable as possible. In summary, my 15 years of experience, professional background in New York City, ongoing dog training program, and my passion for training puppies and caring for senior pets make me a standout choice for your pet care needs. I'm committed to providing your furry family members with the highest level of care, love, and attention they deserve. Your pets will be in excellent hands with me!
Reviews
Shekiah took such good care of our kiddos! She was so patient with our dogs who are still unsure of strangers. You can tell that she’s truly passionate about pet care!
Shekiah was amazing! She took care of my little Josie so well while I was gone. She was also a great house sitter. She sent me updates throughout the stay and followed everything I asked regarding carrying for my fur baby and the house! I highly recommend and will be using her services in the future.
Shekiah was great with my little dog and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!
Love Shekiah. She is reliable, loving and kind.

ouse/Pet Sitting: I offer house and pet sitting services at your own home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar and secure environment. I'll follow your pet's regular routine, maintain their feeding schedule, provide exercise, and offer companionship to minimize stress and anxiety while you're away. Drop-In Visits: If you prefer for me to visit your home, I can provide drop-in visits as well. These visits typically include feeding, refreshing water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. It's an ideal choice for pets who are more comfortable in their own space and need care while you're at work or away for shorter periods. Walks: For active dogs, I also offer regular walks to ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether it's a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure to a nearby park, I tailor the walks to suit your pet's energy level and preferences. In all cases, my approach is centered around providing individualized care and attention to meet the specific needs of your pets. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness, as well as the utmost care of your home. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved and well-cared for during your absence, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in capable hands.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly woven into my schedule to ensure that your beloved pets receive the attention and care they deserve. While I do work full-time, I've structured my commitments to be available during the mornings, evenings, and weekends, aligning perfectly with your pet's needs. Here's how pet care fits into my typical day and week: Mornings: During the mornings, I start the day by dedicating quality time to your pets. This includes feeding, ensuring they get their exercise through playtime or a walk, and any necessary grooming or medication administration. I understand the importance of setting a positive tone for the day and ensuring that your pets are comfortable and content. Evenings: After a day of work, I return to provide the evening care routine. This involves a second round of feeding, another engaging play session or walk to expend their energy, and ample cuddle time to wind down. I'm attentive to their needs and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. Weekends: On weekends, I have the flexibility to extend our adventures and exploration. We can embark on longer walks, visit local parks, and engage in additional training or socialization activities. It's a perfect opportunity to provide extra attention and create memorable experiences for your pets. Throughout the day, I maintain open communication with you to provide updates and address any specific concerns or requests you may have. My goal is to seamlessly integrate pet care into your pet's daily routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, even when you have a busy schedule. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I'm dedicated to making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free.
