Best match! So so so happy we met Shak through Rover. Nearby location, super professional and attentive. We l9ved Shaks communication and picture videos and details. Thank you Shak for loving and caring for Hershey better than we could have imagined. Appreciate you accommodating his quirkiness too.
I couldn't recommend anyone more than Shak! My dog was diagnosed with cancer and needed a lot of extra attention and medication. Shak was attentive, caring, responsible, and genuinely supportive during a hard time for me. I trust Shak like a family member. My dog loved him! I highly recommend Shak for any situation where you need someone reliable and caring, whether it's your home, your pets, or anything in between.
Shak is the absolute best - he's so great with our dog and she absolutely adores him. We have a very high-maintenance doodle complete with food allergies, grooming needs, a big personality with huge affection demands. Shak handles her with ease. After suffered an injury at a large boarding facility and was rejected at another place, so we were looking for someone who could give her individual attention - and Shak gladly accepted her. We felt completely at ease boarding her with Shak thanks to updates and photos. He totally understands and accommodates all her many odd quirks - and she always so excited to see him. We’d happily book again or recommend him.
Shak has watched over our property and more importantly our dog. He stays at our home when we travel and gives us full peace of mind so we can enjoy our trip. We found out early our dog , which is a rescue, doesn’t trust we won’t leave. She has to be homebound. Which is fine, since we are covered by Shak. We trust with him with our possessions and dog. He is always an asset. Keith
Shak is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with- I always know my dog is in great hands. I can see in the camera how excited my Popeye gets when he arrives and that says it all.

Schedule
I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and well-suited for pet care, allowing me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m able to spend the whole do with them..

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard, and enjoy taking multiple walks a day, along with spending time playing and engaging with dogs in a safe, loving environment. I won’t let them be unattended in the backyard for obvious reasons.
A typical day
Depending on your dog's age, temperament, and your preferences, we'll spend plenty of time having fun together. We can play fetch in the backyard, and I'll happily engage in playful games of chase- whether your dog loves being the chaser or being chased. I also make sure your dog has everything they need to feel comfortable and at home, including their regular food, favorite treats, something safe to chew on, and a cozy blanket or bed to relax on indoors. When it comes to walks, I let your dog take the lead (while staying safe, of course!). Every walk is a new adventure, and it's always fun to see where their curiosity takes us.
