Pet care experience

Love, care, and safety for family!

I have been lucky to have experience with multiple breeds of animals almost all my life! I have been able to work at a vet office where I learned from vets and vet techs how to strengthen interactions and relationships with pets. I have been able to dog sit overnight with puppies, and large dogs including German Shepherds multiple times, as well as help raise 4 litters or new born puppies.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two dogs that I take care of who are friendly and love having company. They are both trained as an inside and outside dog. I have a fenced front yard, as well as a fenced back yard to ensure the safety of them playing and going potty. I also have a dog run in my back yard for dogs staying at my home. For dogs that I take care of at the pet’s home, I am adaptable to what rules, schedules, and routines they follow daily.

It is always a pleasure working with Shanika. She was great about sending updates and pictures/videos of our dogs. They are always happy to be there and well taken care of.

Shanika is very responsible, our dog loved her visits. We were notified when she came to our house and Shanika would send us short videos. It was nice to see that! We are recommending Shanika!

Shanika treated my dogs like her own! She was punctual, communicative, sent so many photo and video updates, took great care of our home, and was very trustworthy. We plan on hiring her to house-sit again!

Shanika is amazing. My pups were so well loved. My trip faced flight cancellations and Shanika was very empathetic and easy to work with. Will use her again!!!
