Pet care experience

Animal lover with a big heart ❤️

I have been around animals my entire life but decided to go into veterinary medicine. I have about seven years of vet tech experience some in day practice but mostly in the ER setting so I'm well trained for emergencies and how to spot certain illnesses. I also have about five years of boarding and pet sitting experience. I adore all animals. I try to love everyone's fur baby as if they're my own. Give them all the love and care they need until they can be reunited with you. I'm also trained in physical therapy, senior care, and grooming. My heart and home are always open and willing to help out with all our fur babies. They give us the best form of unconditional love you can ask for. Animals are my life that's all I do all day long so I have more than enough time to care for your fur baby when you need me My yard is completely fenced in to provide safety I also have two friendly for babies to keep your baby company while they're here so they feel so lonely I work as a relief vet tech so I'm usually at home most of the day and available to care for your baby as needed I try to make all fur babies stay as comfortable as possible and to make them feel as close to being at home as possible

Doggy Day Care • Jan 30, 2025

We agreed on a time & when I arrived Shika B. wasn't home. Her son called her & asked her what time she'd be back, & she said 40-45 minutes. I had to go to work so I left.

Shika was an outstanding housesitter for our large crew, several of whom are on medications, including injectables and eyedrops. She handled everything like a pro and left the house tidy and the pets happy. We highly recommend her!

This is our second time using Shika and she has been just as professional as the first time. She was patient, understanding and adjusted to a last minute drop off and pick up time switch from us. Her communication is impeccable and I feel very comfortable with leaving our teeny kitten with her. Our family also loves the videos and pictures that she sends. I highly recommend her.
