Experienced and Trustworthy Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Dr. Shanin 🐶❤️ One thing you can be sure of, is that I love animals. It was this devotion which led me to become both an animal law attorney and a veterinarian in the U.K. I don't practice as a vet, because my specialty is policy/law, but I have extensive training and experience that allows me to provide your pet with the absolute best care possible. In addition to raising 15 Guide Dogs for the Blind, I've spent many years in animal rescue, and worked with gorillas, pigs, parrots, horses, hippos and everything in between.

Shanin is an amazing pet sitter. She took exceedingly good care of our pet Molly and updated us each day with numerous splendid pictures. She showers our pup so much love that we have nothing to worry about when Molly is with her.She goes beyond the requirements and genuinely loves pets she watches.Molly came home refreshed and well cared for with lots of love, cuddles, and cute toys. We strongly recommend her for your fur baby. Shanin is hands down the best sitter. I will definitely be using her again.

Awesome Experience! Every time we board Molly our golden with Shanin she takes utmost care of her . She promptly updates us with pictures and texts we love and adore the care taken by Shanin. Truly the best sitter out there. I used to worry about leaving Molly with anyone but I am so glad we found Shanin. Molly always comes home with a new toy from her, Shanin went over and beyond caring for our pup. Molly came back home very rested and cared for. If you are searching for someone reliable she's the real deal. Highly recommend. I will be boarding Molly with her over and over again whenever needed.

Shanin is such an amazing pet sitter and a wonderful person .I am so glad and lucky that we found her on Rover. Molly was boarded with her for two days and our family had an unprecedented emergency where we couldn’t make it the third day ,on reaching out to her she was so understanding and cared more about our well-being giving phenomenal care for Molly.we were so much at peace since Shanin was watching Molly we did not have to worry about her .she kept updating us with excellent photos and texts making us and Molly as comfortable as possible . Molly came back relaxed and healthy with loads of love and cuddles.Highly recommend Shanin to all pet parents. I will definitely rebook her multiple times . She’s excellent in pet care and timely updates . It’s very hard to find such a good pet sitter with whom your pet and you are comfortable I highly recommend Shanin from our experience.

Shanin is an absolute delight to work with.Molly is so calm and relaxed with her.It is like her personal spa time, relaxing and enjoying a lot of cuddles. When I pick her up Molly is fantastic,happy and so much calm. Shanin takes extra care of all of her needs and frequently updates me with pictures which we adore.She is probably the best sitter out there and I will rebook her many times.Highly recommend her for pet parents for an anxiety free holiday.!

Safety, trust & environment

I moved back to my hometown, after graduating from veterinary school in London to be close to my mom. Our home is a "doggie paradise", where your pup would get the utmost care and attention. We have a rescue dog named Tiny Tim who loves company. He is disabled and although he can't play with other doggies, he really enjoys visiting with them.

Information Shanin L. would like to know about your pet

Each dog is completely unique- that's what makes them so amazing! However, I really need your assistance to help me understand what baseline 'normal' is for your pet. In addition to describing his/her typical behavior and personality, it would also be helpful to include their medical history, past experiences while separated from you (have they been stressed or become sick before?), whether there is anything your pet is afraid of, diet and intolerances, potty habits, routine and sleep/feeding schedule. Ultimately, there has to be the perfect fit between us and your pup, so I'm looking forward to talking with you to see how I can help!

A typical day

The activities that we'll do together very much depends on the dog. We have lots of property for walks, a pool if your dog likes to swim and a dock where we can sit and watch the dolphins play. If there are any behaviors or training issues that you would like me to address let me know. Most dogs love learning new things and playing games, so just tell me if there's a command we should work on during our time together. I want your dog to be as happy as possible when they are with me, so please make sure to share their favorite treats, special toy or secret tickle spots.

I work from home and my schedule is completely flexible, so this is a chance for me to do what I love: meet new animals and their amazing owners! Your pet's happiness, safety, and comfort is and will always be my priority. I may also be available to watch your pet in your home as well, if that's what's best for your furry or feathered baby (i.e. cats, multiple pets, high stress dogs or homebodies).
