You had me a woof.

I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was kid. Major dog lover over here.I have volunteered at couple of animal shelters, and I’ve worked at a puppies store as well as my family and friends usually relied on me to watch their fur babies since I’m always home. I will not accept any American bullies. I will send updates and pictures when available. I do not FaceTime during visit. FaceTime is strictly for meet and greets.

Boarding • Juni 19, 2026

My dog came back constipated, when he left he was having regular poops twice a day. He has since been unable to poop and has been straining for 10+ minutes to get a single poop out, that still does not come out. He did end up having some diarrhea all in his cage (He is potty trained and never uses the bathroom in his cage) after a full day but still cannot poop regularly. Was told he may have gotten into cat food, The sitter wasn’t really sure. Overall a bad experience for me personally dealing with a sick dog after dropping him off completely healthy is a headache. She was nice, didn’t give many updates, Overall I’m dissatisfied and would not book again.

Shanikki did an awesome job. She responded with my text in a timely manner. My dog looked well kept when we arrived to pick her up. I would recommend this sitter.

She was very nice and pleasant to work with. However, the space was not as clean as I expected, and I had to request photos and updates even though I was initially told they would be provided. I was also unsure whether my dog was being walked regularly, as he seemed very backed up when we picked him up and took him for a walk. He also had a few accidents in the house afterward, which is very unlike him. Better communication and more consistent updates would have improved the overall experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in a house with three floor, they are free to roam. There is a small fence area in the back for quick bathroom I go on daily walks in the morning. Your pup will definitely will be active and safe. I also have my own dog supplies here, plenty of toys, treats and beds. Your pups will love in here.

A typical day

A typical day would be a morning walk, then breakfast! An hour later some play time outside. After a good hour or two nap time with the kiddos. Then lunch or snack, with a walk after. Playtime in the house or free time to do whatever fur babies want. Finish the day out with dinner and at least two more walks before bed.
