I have never met someone who is so dedicated and loving toward dogs. Shanika has so much expertise and love. So grateful I met her and she could connect with my dog!!

Being a pet owner of multiple pet breeds throughout my life, I have also had the pleasure of working at a vet office, where I was able to interact with pet owners and their pets, as well as receive some training from both the vet and techs on staff. I love animals, and want to ensure I give your pets a home away from home.

What are some of your pet’s triggers, if any? Does your pet have any allergies I need to supervise during the sitting?
My days are flexible and I adapt to meet the needs of your pet. I strive to maintain your routine to ensure that your furry family members feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Your pet's happiness is my priority.

Shanika takes great care of our pets. She’s very attentive and trustworthy and great to work with. We love her!
Shanika is the only sitter I trust to take care of my boy Alaskan Malamute! She's done drop-ins, day stays and overnight boarding, and I COULD NOT be happier with her service. She takes as good care of him as I could ever ask for, is attentive to his needs and never forgets the special requirements he has. My dog is a 100lb Alaskan Malamute with a lot of personality and will, but she has been super-confident and caring with him, and I know he sees her as a member of the pack! She's the best dog sitter I've ever had, and I hope she'll continue to be available to help me take care of my boy for as long as he's with me :)
