Boarding/Grooming/Handling

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Shanthi, I am an experienced 36 year old women with 10+ years experience in boarding and grooming pets. I enjoy spending time with different breeds and personalities and do my best to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while staying with me. I have experience with difficult dogs, puppies and seniors. I listen very carefully to direction and will make sure that your pet is not only loved and cared for but also entertained and exercised. There is a dog park across the street for those pets that love to be social and rump around with others. I have a very diverse yet specific set of skills, I've have K9 body language and cognitive behavioral studies and use these skills to benefit your pet.

Shanthi is always the best! She was so considerate and flexible when I had to change around the drop off situation with my dog. Literally couldn’t vacation without her!

Information Shanthi S. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference. I would like to know if the dog has any allergies, is the pet dog friendly? Does the pet have any sensitivities of anything that may put him in a bad mood? As an example she/he might not like his collar touched or removed and the pet may nip for these things. Does the pet resource guard? Does anything scare your pet such as thunder, vacuums etc? Does your fur child have any health issues such as surgeries, cancers, torn or healing muscles, open wounds, stitches etc. How does your pet behave with cats, other dogs and children of all ages? If your pet is moody or "Grouchy" it wont cause me to deny service just adjust to the needs of your pet so please feel free to tell me any and everything to ensure a happy and safe stay for all.

A typical day

We will visit the dog park and since safety is always my top priority I can assure you that safe play will be the only play allowed. I also do "Energy walks" , which consists of jogging, power walking, and/or hiking (There is an additional fee for this based on the time request). We will do a series of games like hide and seek and fetch! Plus your pet will only recieve filtered drinking water and natural, grain-free treats for good behavior!
