Pet care experience

Shekyira's here

I've been dog/house sitting since I was 9 years old. I watched all the dogs in the neighborhood and was trusted for weekend care at that young age. I was taught to ensure your fur baby and house should look as they did when you left. My current dog was house and command trained solely by my daughter and I. I am an early riser, who takes early morning walks between 6 and 7 am, to get a good start on the days many activities. We are very active and are always on the go. No worries, the pups come too! In the event they aren't able, we schedule an hour long walk or play time beforehand ensure your pup is all played out. The pups are left free to roam with supervision here and taken our for potty breaks no more than 4 hours apart. Random treats and belly rubs are given as well as plenty of outdoor play. We are driving distance to many dog parks and/or open fields where we love to play fetch and just run out all of our energy.

Shekyira was a god send. She took love and care of two of our cats, one who just had kittens. Communication was swift and she was great with updates me of how our new mamma was doing. Great Hire!

Shekyira was an amazing caretaker for my cat. She fed her on schedule each day and sent photos to negate any anxiety or worries. She is very personable and has a calm spirit which both I and my cat appreciates and welcomes. She will always be my first choice. Much gratitude Shekyira.
