Information Shekinah G. would like to know about your pet

My children are nine and six. I ask that all dogs that come and stay with me be of mild temperament and good with children and other dogs. They are very good with dogs and will play with them under my supervision.

A typical day

I love to stimulate the dogs that come and stay with me both physically and mentally while offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. We will go for walks, play fetch in the backyard and take time to snuggle on the couch.

Must Love Dogs

Pet care experience

Hello Friends, I have been home full time for over 10 years now enjoying motherhood and a loving husband. I believe I can help other families by giving their furry family some exercise and love while you are busy. I can care for them the whole day in my home and play with them outside in my large backyard. I am confident I can tire your buddy out a bit before you come back. My 9 year old Son and 6 year old Daughter love dogs too and can run and play with them. I ask for dogs to be mild tempered and to love being loved. I have a flexible schedule. I will enforce your training requirements as you dictate. We will have fun, but I will not spoil them. Unless you want me to.

This was our second time booking with Shekinah and again amazing care of our girl! We had a trip come up with very short notice on our end and we were lucky enough she was available! Thank you again for taking care of Chai, it is great to see her comfortable with a second family!

Shekinah and her beautiful family were AMAZING with my dog Hilo!! They took excellent care of her, as if she were there own when I was away for two weeks, so much so that my dog was hardly even happy to see me when I picked her up. I will definitely be using Shekinah anytime I need a dog sitter for Hilo in the future! Thank you so much!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
