I've grown up around dogs and horses and have had my own dogs for many years. Currently we have an extremely kind and friendly border collie, he is neutered and 5 years old. I love dog sitting and being exposed to all of the different personalities and charms other people's dog have to offer.

Shanti has looked after my pets over a dozen times in the past year, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Kali and Mawi are high-energy, cheeky dogs, and they absolutely love going to stay with her...so much so that they come home sulking afterwards! Every stay is packed with cuddles, long walks, and hikes to burn off their energy. Shanti is fantastic at tailoring enrichment to each dog’s needs, my Staffy gets plenty of tug-of-war and ball games, while my little terrier gets all the sniffing adventures he could want. It’s clear she really understands breed-specific needs and goes the extra mile to keep them happy and stimulated. What really stands out is how intuitive Shanti is with animals. She has a deep understanding of dog behaviour and psychology, and she’s shared so many helpful training tips with me. Thanks to her guidance, my dogs are listening better, walking more calmly, and generally behaving at their best! Even though Shanti has moved from London to Stafford, I still make the trip to leave my dogs with her rather than finding someone closer. That’s how much I trust her, she truly provides the best care, and I always know my dogs are in safe, capable, and loving hands.

5/5 ⭐ Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dogs I left my two dogs, Arya and Rocco, with Shantj for a few times while I have been away, and honestly came home to two very happy, relaxed pups. Arya is a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois, she’s a sensitive girl, a bit of a velcro dog, and thrives on routine. She can get anxious when her routine is disrupted, but she thrived when looked after by Shanti. She has bundles of energy and needs structured walks and training. I got daily photo updates of her asleep curled up on the sofa, which told me everything I needed to know. Rocco, is a 6-year-old Labrador X, he is a dopey lad who enjoys a cuddle and mid day nap. He can be a massive food thief so requires monitoring so he doesn't get into anything he shouldn't. Shanti was attentive and aware of his movements so he didn't get his jowls on anything, thankfully (better than me I might add!). He requires daily medication which was given and I wasn't worried about him having an episode, she made me feel relaxed and safe, knowing she knew exactly what to do and he was well looked after. What stood out most was the communication. I got videos, updates on walks, how they ate, how they slept. Shanti even noticed when Rocco was acting a little bit of character and gave him some time, that level of awareness is rare. My house was spotless when I got back, and both dogs were calm, not manic like they sometimes are after boarding. You can tell Shanti genuinely loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. Already booked again. If you need someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and who’ll treat your dogs like her own, there isn't a better sitter.

Schedule

I am home full time. I moved to Stafford from London for my husbands RAF posting. I am an avid adventurer and enjoy taking the dogs to all of our local spots, Cannock Chase being a particular favourite!
