About Shaiva P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I ensure your pet feels at ease by maintaining their routine and providing a familiar, calm atmosphere. I always secure the home by making sure gates, doors, and any potential hazards are properly managed. I follow specific instructions for feeding, medications, and exercise, while monitoring your pet’s behavior for any changes. Trust is essential, so I keep open communication with you, providing updates and photos.
Information Shaiva P. would like to know about your pet
It's crucial to know key details about the pets I’ll be caring for ahead of time. This includes their daily routine, feeding preferences, and any special dietary or medical needs. I’ll ask about their personality, whether they’re shy, energetic, or independent, to tailor activities accordingly. Knowing their favorite toys, games, and any behavioral quirks helps ensure a smooth visit. It's also important to discuss any emergency contacts, vet info, and the pet’s comfort zones, like favorite sleeping spots. Understanding their exercise needs and restrictions ensures I can provide the best care and fun experiences for them.
A typical day
A typical visit starts with a walk or playtime, followed by food and a quick check of the pet’s needs. I provide plenty of attention, basic grooming, and some indoor enrichment like treat puzzles or new toys.

Reliable, loving care for your pet!
Pet care experience
I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routines. Whether it’s extra attention for shy pets or plenty of playtime for active ones, I adapt to offer tailored care that keeps them comfortable and happy. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m attentive to special diets, medications, and any other health concerns. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Additionally, I’m available to provide updates and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is feeling safe, loved, and happy while you're away!
Reviews
Shaiva made us feel at ease while away. On our meet and greet she asked great questions. She kept us updated, sent us pictures and was overall the best dog sitter we could ask for. Our dog requires injectible medication and timed feeding and we felt they were in good hands tge whole time. Thanks again so much.
Shaiva was so friendly and professional and you can tell she loves animals. I would definitely use her again. Thanks for taking care of my cat!
Shaiva was great with my dog! She kept us updated with pictures and activities while we were away. I will definitely be using her again in the future(:
