Ms. Shanila dog sat my 2 dogs for 2 years. I have a 4 year old Labrador retriever and 6 year old miniature poodle. She was phenomenal with my babies and the only reason she does not dog sit for me now is because I moved to Idaho in 2018. She was great and I genuinely appreciated the love and care she gave my dogs. I do not trust just anyone caring after my babies. I don’t have children so my dogs are my children, and I put my trust in her to care for them and she did exactly that. I was sad to see her go, but she still keeps in contact with me and checks in on my dogs. Such a sweetie

I lost my dog of 14 years, Dorothy, last year. She died of natural causes. I had her most of my life and was deeply affected by her death. I looked high and low for that companionship but I just missed MY dog more than anything. Shanila helped me through this hard time and suggested I just visit a shelter familiar to her, to cheer me up. I was reluctant at first, but by my forth visit I had found a dog I couldn’t stray away from. We had an instant connection and I just knew I wanted to take her with me. Well, there was a process to do so and she happened to be blind so I had to go through special screenings to make sure I was able to care for a dog with her disability. But I did what was needed to bring her home, and after 3 long weeks I was finally able to bring her home! I named her Bandit. I never thought I’d be able to fill the void in my heart from Dorothy, but Shanila made that possible by opening my eyes and bringing me to a shelter for love where I eventually found my new fur baby. She is a beautiful soul in and out and she really does have a passion for dogs!
