About Me
Hello! My name is Nikki and I am the owner of ShakaDog.
It has always been my life’s passion to work with animals. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona and have worked in animal hospitals, as a dog walker, and as a volunteer in animal shelters. Not only do I have experience working with dogs and cats, but I have also worked with pocket pets, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, and birds.
Currently I have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a tortoise of my own. I look forward to meeting and making lasting relationships with the pets and pet parents of the South Bay!

Testimonials
“ShakaDog has been such a life saver! We have a 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kekoa. We have always been diligent with his daily walks but our schedule has become a bit crazy with the addition of our second son. Nikki walks Kekoa weekly, she has had several overnight stays and even took care of Kekoa during the birth of our baby boy. She is also so accommodating with my last minute calls. Nikki is always quick with her response. I really appreciate that Nikki is so kind, friendly and trustworthy. Kekoa gets so excited every time he sees Nikki! Thanks Shakadog for giving us the peace of mind that our 4-legged son is in great hands!”

“Nikki is AWESOME! I’ve had pets most of my life and they are family to me. Most of the time they come with us on our road trips/family vacations, however, sometimes it’s just not possible. I trust Nikki at Shakadog 100%! It’s really about peace of mind and I know my kids are being taken care of. She sends me updates and photos so I know everything is going well. What’s better than having someone you trust come into your home to take care of your pets, take them for a walk, feed them and keep them in their safe environment? I shopped around prior to finding Nikki and also came to realize Shakadog is the most reasonable and affordable out there. I think we might plan more vacations now that we have Nikki!”
