I want to hang out with your dog!

Pet care experience

I recently moved here from Washington DC where I was a coowner of Just Walk DC Pet Care (Google it for the Yelp reviews). I have cats at home and miss spending time with dogs! I am a part time librarian with reliable transportation. I have overnight care flexibility and some weekday free time for walks and drop-in visits — I typically have two weekdays and one weekend day free, so though I can’t guarantee daily walks I can do one-off walks when I’m available. I have my work schedule one month in advance, so ask me if I’m available! I have experience administering pills and insulin injections to dogs. I am just as happy with doggie couch cuddles as I am playing fetch. Thanks!

Shira was a great Dog sitter while we were out of town. Very communicative and sent us frequent updates. She also had to deal with some stress as our dog decided to chew on books in our house. We would absolutely have Shira watch our pup in the future. Thanks Shira!

I co-owned a pet care business with Shira from 2012-14, and I was always impressed with Shira’s responsibility, accountability to human clients, and rapport with dogs. Shira is a reliable dog walker, beloved by dogs and dog-parents alike.

What can you say about one of the most capable and reliable people in pet care? Shira is trustworthy, intelligent, imaginative and has an amazing eye for detail. Shira has taken care of my pets (two cats, two dogs) as well as friends. She has been a full time and part time pet care professional for over 5 years. She trustworthy in nature and i have never had any cause to think that she is not 100% reliable. Shira is a breath of fresh air in the growing pet care industry. If you are looking for the perfect mixture of caring, compassion and thinking outside of the box that is required for pet care, I urge you to look no further.

Information Shira P. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely no breed preferences...I love Pitties and Dobermans as much as I love Yorkies and Frenchies. If your dog has a history of emotional problems with walkers, please let me know. That won’t stop me, but I’ll be cautious and take my time.
