I love for your fur baby to feel right at home. Laying on my furniture is no big deal at all! I want your fur baby comfortable and cozy!! It is a quiet, clean, and organized environment. Also, I often play specific calming dog music that puts fur babies right at ease!! As you will see from my reviews, my word is true and honest! I am constantly sending daily pictures and updates!! I supervise all outside time and there is plenty of walking and running space.

Information Lashika P. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to let me know any special needs your fur family member has, and I’d be glad to accommodate! Does your dog(s) have any allergies, behavior triggers, or any other related information I need to be made aware of? If yes, please share! ***One important tip for booking with me is communication because I can book fast. If you find another sitter that’s wonderful!; I ask that you please please communicate that other booking! This helps to keep my calendar up to date.***

A typical day

Fur fun and safe care for your fur baby!! Walking, playing with toys, treats, hugs, cuddles, calming music, eating, hydration, and relaxing. I have no children, or pets of my own, so I’m able to focus on your dog!! (sometimes I may have another dog owner’s dog with me during the booking; however, I always inform owners prior to another booking decision; I don’t book more than 2 dogs at a time; if an owner and I have concerns together I will not accept the booking; feeding areas and toys/treats are kept in separate areas to help each feel calm and at home). At times, I take a dog friend(s) on a ride for a Starbucks pup cup! (I ask owner’s permission first prior to any dog going for a ride and having a Starbucks pup cup, safety first!)

First-time clients use this code or link for $20 off! LASHIP41350 https://www.rover.com/sit/laship41350 Thank you so much for visiting my page - and for trusting me with the most important member of your family! I've been a proud Rover sitter for 4 years, and honestly? Caring for dogs is one of my favorite things in the world. Every pup has their own personality, quirks, and love language-and I take the time to figure out exactly what makes yours feel safe, happy, and at home. While I don't have pets of my own, that just means yours gets my full, undivided attention and all the love I've got to give. I am a certified spoiler of dogs. Whether that's extra belly rubs, a favorite toy always within reach, walks to explore new scents and fresh air, or just some calm company on the couch - I pay attention to what your pup needs and deliver. I'm a firm believer that **consistency is comfort for dogs.** That's why I stick closely to your established feeding, walking, and play routines. Familiar schedules help reduce anxiety and keep tails wagging, and your dog's comfort is always my top priority. I highly recommend a **meet and greet** before every booking. Dogs communicate so much in that first sniff and wag - and it gives your pup, you, and I the chance to make sure we're the right fit for each other. Their comfort with me matters just as much as yours does. I operate with full **transparency and honesty**, because great pet care is truly a team effort between us. You know your dog best, and I'm here to carry that love and knowledge forward while you're away. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions - I'd love to meet your pup!

Lashika is great with Mylo. We have been using her the last year and she does a great job. She keeps us informed during his stay and sends plenty of pictures. She’s our go too when we are out of town, and Mylo loves her too!

Lashika was amazing with Zoey. She took care of her and she was texting me and sending me pictures so my family knew that Zoey was doing great. At some point Zoey got sick, stomach bug, and she kept me posted the whole time. She even went and bought chicken broth from Petsmart, after asking me, which I’m very grateful for that. I will not hesitate to use her as a sitter again. I’m very pleased with her service.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
