Dog Sitting in Blackwood

About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.

From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

“Kara was great. She took care of my cat for a week. She gave lots of pets and documented (in pictures and in short write-ups) her visits with Monty. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for some years, and many people have trusted me to taking care of their pets or stay all night to take care of them My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently live in a townhouse, I don't have a fenced yard but inside my house I have a lot of space where your pet can walk freely

About: I am a lover of all pets! Family, friends, and acquaintances all can see my passion and dedication to helping animals. I have been trusted to walk dogs, overnight sit dogs, and even take them to grooming appointments! No pet isn’t worthy of love and being taken care of <3 I currently am still in school. I’m able to walk pets on weekends and/or late afternoon if needed. I’m able to complete pop up opportunities, but only on weekends. I live in a home with a fenced in yard that is decently sized. I live with a toddler that loves all pets too but can be loud. I know how to build a crate and have the space for it in my home.

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up without a dog, but always looked forward to seeing my furry extended family members. I have had a family dog (Blue Heeler) for 14 years and we all share responsibility for his care. He is treated like royalty and is definitely the most favored family member. I also have experience sitting for other dogs and cats, and provide house sitting, walks, feeding, exercise, and lots and lots of love. Your pets are guaranteed the same treatment and adoration in my care and I will love and care for them as if they were my own because that is exactly what our furriest friends deserve. I look forward to caring for your beloved fur babies! I work from home and am available for drop in visits and walks during the day. I am off on Thursdays and weekends as well. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I am very loving and friendly to animals of all kinds. I will respect your space and keep my activities in your home limited to your pets needs only. Your home will be left exactly as you left it.
