Lifetime Experience of Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Shifra. I have a lifetime amount of experience with dogs, horses, cats, goats, birds, lizards and more. I have grown up handling and caring for all! I began house sitting when I was 16 years old for others and have continued to do so for friends and family. Now , as an adult, I am happy to continue house sitting and caring for pets of all species. As far as dogs are concerned, I have experience with a lot of different breeds as well as ages. I also have a lot of experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. Any breed is okay! Puppies and senior dogs are okay! I am currently working MOSTLY from home so my schedule is relatively flexible. That being said, I can have work related appointments that keep me away for up to 8 hours a time. Please keep that in mind when booking. If it is not available on my calendar, feel free to reach out. I care for your pets like you do. Please let me know their likes, dislikes, and preference. Treats? No treats? Boundaries as well! I’m happy to work with you and your pet to create the best possible environment.

This is the second time Shifra has watched my animals and she has again done a good job. Both kf them are happy and healthy, and excited to see her when she came to return my house key.

Shifra is awesome! She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are comfortable. She spends a lot of time with them and checks in at regular intervals with updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to maintain consistency. Schedules and consistency keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. Owners being gone can cause anxiety for pets so it’s important that I reduce any instance of that as much as possible.
