Availability

I’m a part-time Office Administration student at Algonquin College. My class schedule is Tuesday to Thursday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. From May to December, I have flexibility outside of class and can plan pet care around my routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on Mondays, Tuesdays (before 12 PM and after 5 PM), and weekends. Boarding is available throughout the week, and I only take one dog at a time so I can provide focused care while also giving proper attention to my own dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible (feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medication schedule). If you don’t have a set routine, I use a consistent general routine similar to what I do with my own pets. I also have previous experience as a house cleaner, so I’m comfortable handling accidents and keeping things tidy. For boarding stays, I clean and sanitize between dogs to maintain a safe, fresh environment.

Information Shanice i. would like to know about your pet

I know every pet is different. Please let me know about any triggers (in the home or outside), anxiety or reactivity, and anything that helps your pet feel comfortable. Also share any allergies, medications, feeding instructions, and any routines you want followed. The more detail you provide, the better I can keep your pet safe, calm, and happy. Thank you.

A typical day

Depending on your pet’s energy level and preferences, we’ll go for walks and explore the area around your home or mine. I also make time for play, enrichment, and plenty of calm attention, cuddles and companionship included. I keep the day structured with regular potty breaks and check-ins, and I can adjust activities based on your pet’s needs.

Pet care experience

I've had a love for pets since I was little. I've taken care of dogs, cats, not only in my own family but also friends pets. Currently I own a 1+ year old and 2 funny rabbits.

Shanice is always top notch and incredibly reliable. Bruce loves her and is always a happy cat when I return from being away. Thank you Shanice!

Shanice was very accommodating with my cat’s needs. She made sure that he had a comfortable and quiet place where he had access to everything he needs. She was also a very sweet person, and I would definitely book with her again.

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Shanice took such amazing care of my Kobe and truly treated him like her own. Every single day she sent me updates with photos and little details about how his day went, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She’s incredibly sweet, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Kobe was so happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her 💛

We had Shanice walk our dog on several occasions and we needed a sitter for an overnight trip. We received updates and pictures of our dog while away and felt our dog was in great hands.
