Shanti's place. Safe,Peaceful & Fun

Pet care experience

We'd like to welcome your four- legged friends to spend some quality time in a safe environment. We have taken care of dogs for many years and take pride in offering priceless peace of mind for you. We are the proud parents of Shanti, a rescued black lab mix who proudly holds 3 pet-training courses. Shanti is always delighted to have furry companion! Both humans in the house work in a home office so there will always be someone looking and caring after your beloved pooch. We have a spacious fenced backyard to hang out, look at the outside world, play fetch and run. We also offer to take your pup on walks in our neighborhood or nearby parks (weather permitting). Please, rest assure your dog will always be hydrated and on a leash for his safety when outside the house. If the dog is crate-trained, and it is needed and/or requested by the dog’s owner, we have different size crates available, so you won’t have to bring yours. Our Shanti was crate- trained when he was just a tiny puppy, and even though, he doesn’t use his crate anymore, it was just a great idea back then for him to use as his place to cool off, take a break or just as his private ‘bedroom’. We would love to have your doggie as a guest in our home, and Shanti would also be thrilled. Please, feel free to contact us for further questions and/or set up a meet and greet.

Always a great stay for Romulus with Nicolas and Shanti! He gets lots of exercise and lots of love. 12/10.

Nicholas was great. The backyard and Shanti were perfect for Rosie. First visit for Rosie and she was not stressed at all. Would definitely recommend and will book again.

Romulus had - as always! - the best time with Nicolas and Shanti and friends. What a great camp away from home for him. We can't thank you enough!

He was amazing! He took Reggie at the last minute. His dog is very well behaved and played well with our dog. Reggie played nearly the entire time he was there and then took a hard nap afterwards
