Big or small I love them all!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life, growing up I had cats and once I moved out on my own I got a dog, he was my whole world. I currently have 2 cats and I’m also a kennel technician so I work with dogs everyday. I understand basic dog behavior and I have some experience with behavioral dogs as well. Most importantly I will love your fur babe like my own. Your pet will always be safe in my care. I also have some experience in basic obedience training and a few tricks. I also understand how important enrichment, training and exercise is to your dog. These are essential to keeping your dog happy and healthy!

Shanika dropped in to see my elderly cat Mal. She did a great job at keeping me posted on what was happening while I was away. She is very nice and very flexible.

Shanika is great with dogs! She is very kind and caring to all animals and has a dog of her own that she loves very much. She makes sure her dog has all their needs met and gives plenty of attention to keep her dog feeling loved.

Shanika is a responsible and loving person! She loves animals just like she does people! She’s always dependable and flexible! She’s very hardworking and determined person. Having her as your dog sitter would be the best decision you’ve ever made!

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog walker I will pay close attention to your dogs needs. Some dogs are older and will need to walk slower, puppies normally can use the energy and might enjoy the run. I know some dogs cannot be around other dogs ( I own one just like that ) we can avoid other dogs. I will always be willing to cater to you and your dogs needs.

Information Shanika S. would like to know about your pet

It’s good to know the dogs activity rate, do they like running or walking long distance? If they have any medical conditions that could affect them physically. And how well they act around other pets.

A typical day

I do plan on keeping walks local, around the neighborhood or neighborhood parks. I will also take requests so if you have any special requests I’m here to serve you and your fur baby!
