My carefully crafted schedule for taking care of pups seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, ensuring their needs are met while allowing me to maintain a balanced routine. With a structured approach, I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime sessions, tailored to each dog's unique requirements. This allows me to accommodate their specific needs while still managing my own commitments, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between their well-being and my personal life. This works especially well with my work from home job!

Safety, trust & environment

At the forefront of my dog sitting service is a steadfast commitment to the safety, trust, and well-being of every dog under my care.

Information Shadia S. would like to know about your pet

As a responsible dog sitter, I prioritize gathering crucial information about the dog ahead of time. This includes their medical history, behavior and temperament, dietary requirements, exercise needs, and daily routine. Additionally, having emergency contacts readily available ensures quick communication and access to necessary support. By acquiring these details in advance, I can provide personalized care, maintain the dog's well-being, and create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both the dog and the owner.

A typical day

When it comes to fun activities with the dogs I watch, the possibilities are endless! From energetic walks in the park to engaging games of fetch, I ensure that each pup enjoys an active and stimulating experience. We might explore new trails, engage in interactive play sessions with toys, or even have some splashy water adventures on hot days. Whether it's belly rubs, hide-and-seek, or simply cuddling up for a cozy movie night, I tailor the activities to suit each dog's personality and preferences, making sure they have a wag-tastic time under my care.

Pet care experience

In my 10 years of pet sitting, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. From energetic pups to wise senior dogs, I have witnessed the incredible bond that exists between pets and their owners. Through walks in the park, cozy snuggles, and endless playtime, I have come to understand the true joy and responsibility that comes with providing exceptional care for these beloved family members.

Shadia maintained timely communication with us which took away a lot of the anxiety of leaving our pets for a week. He took our dog out for a walk twice a day even though that was not a part of our request and provided additional help when we needed it. He also offered to help with other tasks even though we did not ask for it. I am happy we got we got the opportunity to work together and I would gladly work with him again.

Nathaniel and Shadia did a terrific job taking care of Loki both the first and second time I left him there, and I know he really loved his stay. They went the extra mile (probably literally) to walk my husky mix who can't ever get enough of a walk, and even socialized him with their other 2 friendly dogs, which was something he needed, since he is socially grouchy around other dogs. I highly recommend to leave your dog in their care, and you can rest assured they are in good hands.

Shadia is an awesome dog sitter! Sam had a blast under his care, and they became fast friends. I highly recommend Shadia for anyone in need of a caring and fun-loving pet sitter. Sam can't wait for their next playdate!
