Pet care experience

Dog lovers for your furry baby

I left Winnie with Rikhil and Shachi for 10 days when I went to London, which is the longest I’ve left my dog with someone. I was worried she would be upset or sulk, but she had such a great time that I don’t think she missed me at all! I got a lot of photos and updates while I was gone, which made me feel reassured that she was happy and enjoying her stay.

Highly recommended! Rikhil and Shachi were incredible looking after Rufus on short notice. They were easy to communicate with, and Rufus had a great time. We will be back!

N'eysha really enjoyed her time with Rikhil & Shachi! I feel she got more tummy rubs staying with them then she usually gets at home. I would definitely book N'eysha another stay with them.

I am so grateful to Rikhil and Shachi for giving me a worry free holiday and for their excellent care of Pixie. Thank you so much!

My dog would gladly move out to live with Shachi and Rikhil. She doesn’t look back once I drop her off!

It was Maya's second time with Rikhil and Shachi. Both times they did a great job making her feel at home and comfortable. We also appreciated their flexibility as our request came a bit last minute. We will for sure trust them to watch Maya again soon!

Safety, trust & environment

We believe a dog is like a little child that needs love nurturing and care. We live in an apartment building in downtown and have plenty of dog parks, open areas and the sea wall blocks away from our house for your dog to go on plenty of outdoor walks and runs. Inside the house, we have a cozy apartment that's cute and compact making sure your dog is never alone. We have plenty of dog loving friends and dog parents, so no matter where we go, your baby will always have company

A typical day

My partner and I love going for walks and we live in an area surrounded with parks and open spaces. We also have a car of our own so would love to take pets that are active into the hiking trails etc. At home, we enjoy cuddles and snuggles, and playing games like tug with dogs that enjoy it.

I would love to know if your dog has specifics patterns that they're used to, specifics about the type of food, snacks, what they like to do for activity. How are they with strangers, how are they with other dogs. Any known behaviours, fears, stimulants, triggers that we need to be aware of. We encourage a meet and greet before new bookings so everyone can get to know each other.
