Pet care experience

Caring and rescuing animals has always been a joy. My first loves were four cats and two dogs. Fortunately they all found amazing homes which allows me to help others. In my care your pet will be given the undivided attention that they deserve. I’m available weekday and weekends. When you book with me you will be leaving your fur baby in loving arms.

Shanika was wonderful with our puppy, Echo! She and her boyfriend took such great care of him—he got a nice walk to the art museum and plenty of cozy snuggles on the couch. Shanika was also fantastic at communicating and made setting up the meet and greet super easy. We felt totally at ease knowing Echo was in such caring hands. Highly recommend

Shanika goes the extra mile! She did an amazing job with my shy Pitt who doesn’t like to walk! I was so impressed.

Shanika is friendly and kind and clearly loves animals. My dog, who normally needs time to warm up to new people, felt comfortable with Shanika very quickly. She responded quickly and kept me updated throughout the stay. I appreciated her flexibility on pickup and drop-off times. Highly recommend Shanika as a pet sitter, my dog was well cared for and came home happy.

Shanika was the best sitter for Saint! Great communication, updates, and she made sure our fur baby was well cared for with lots of love while we were out. Would definitely book with her again if we’re back in town.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
