I was happy to leave my dog with Shanilka for a few hours. She was patient with her and sent me updates throughout the day. Thank you, Shanilka!

Shanilka took great care of my dog for an overnight trip I needed to make. I had to modify the drop off and pick up times a week before, and she was very flexible and accommodating. My dog was happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!

Shanilka was wonderful with our Maeve. Easy drop off and pickup, great communication, and a happy dog when we returned.
