Compassionate & Loving Animal Lover

Since I was a young child I have always loved animals.. I currently have two amazing cats named Mittens and Marbles. My dog Scrappy passed in 2021 and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. They’re my world and just as I treat them, I treat other animals with an abundance of love and care. All of my animals were rescued and I have saved others in need until finding them a home. Pets are a member of the family and should be treated as if they are one of your children. I am aim the medical field working with parents as well and make sure just as a child has their needs, animals do as well. I am here to make walks fun and put pet moms and dads at ease so they know they’re being taken very good care of.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and it’s spacious enough for play. When going to a clients home, I ensure they are safe as well and that it would be fenced. I make sure they smell me and get to know me little by little when I first meet them. I am called an animal whisperer as well as a baby whisperer! ❤️

Shira was great! This was our first time using Rover and we now have a pet sitter for life! She was communicative, friendly and very loving with our 3 dogs. Highly recommend

I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.

Dog Walking • Jun 03, 2025

Shira is an absolute gem! She has been walking my dog regularly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care, reliability, and professionalism. From day one, it was clear how much she truly loves animals—my dog took to her instantly, which is rare! Shira is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a last-minute schedule change or an extra-long walk on a sunny day, she’s flexible and kind. I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends after each walk—it gives me such peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog comes home happy and well-exercised, which says it all. I trust Shira completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dependable dog walker. She’s the best!

Shira stepped up at the last minute when my other sitter had a family emergency. Did a great job and would 100% use again!

I am a birth and postpartum doula so I have the flexibility to dog and cat sit easily. This makes me so happy to do in between clients :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Shira can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
It’s important for me to know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time. Any diet or take any medications. I have lots of experience with my own babies :)
