Where Your Pup Stays,Plays & Feels at Home 🐾 🥎💘

🌸 About Shida With over 12 years of experience caring for my beloved German Shepherd, Rex 🕊️, and now raising my Labradoodle puppy, Otis, I bring genuine passion and lifelong dedication to pet care. From training a 12-week-old pup to providing senior support, I’ve supported dogs through every stage of life. Now, with Otis, I’m continuing to grow - navigating the joys (and challenges!) of puppyhood and deepening my understanding of behaviour, training, and companionship. ✨ What You Can Expect Whether your dog is staying, walking, or simply hanging out with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family: • Tailored Attention – I only care for one client’s dog at a time (unless from the same household), ensuring personalised, undivided care. • Puppy-Friendly Environment – Otis is part of my daily routine, so your dog must be comfortable around playful, social puppies. • Safe & Cosy Home – I work from home, offering a secure space, enriching walks, and plenty of cuddles. • Adventure Time – With your permission, your pup may join us for local walks, park visits, and dog-friendly cafés. • Real-Time Updates – Stay connected with regular messages and photos via the Rover app. • Emergency-Ready – I live near trusted vets and am fully prepared should anything arise. 🐶 A Bit About Otis Otis is full of classic puppy energy! He can be shy at first, but quickly warms up - especially around other dogs. He knows his basic commands and we’re actively working on recall. He’s playful, a little vocal when excited, and thrives with positive reinforcement. 📝 Before Your Dog’s Stay To give your pet the best experience, I’ll ask about: • Their comfort around other dogs (especially puppies) • Feeding schedule, treats, and dietary needs • Routine, quirks, training cues • Energy levels and walking preferences • House rules (e.g. furniture, crate use) • Vet contacts and medical info For longer bookings, a short written summary (or PDF) helps me maintain consistency and make your pup feel right at home.

Lilo was with Shida for 7 days and I couldn't be happier. She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated every day ♥️

First time leaving Lilo on daycare and what a relief leaving her with someone you can trust. Shida put a lot of photos of Lilo's stay with her and let me know how everything went ❤️

As always absolutely impeccable ❤️ never seen Sufi this happy after boarding. He’s like he’s come back from a holiday himself.

As always the best! Sufi is in his happy zone at Shida’s place, and I’m the most at ease when he is there.

Schedule

Pet care blends naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with my playful Labradoodle puppy, Otis, so your dog will always have company. We take regular breaks for fresh air, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Each day is a mix of calm, fun, and tailored care based on your dog’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup’s well-being is my top priority. I care for one client’s dog at a time (unless they’re from the same household), so your dog will always have space to relax and feel at ease. Otis is friendly and gentle, but if your dog prefers solo time, I’ll manage their schedules separately to keep things peaceful. My home is cozy, safe, and set up for dogs to feel right at home - whether they love curling up on a soft bed or exploring the balcony for a little sniff break.

Pets

A typical day

Morning: We kick things off with a nice walk to the park - perfect for sniffing, stretching, and easing into the day. Then it’s breakfast and some chill time. Midday: While I work, your pup can nap, chew a toy, or join me for play breaks. Otis may join if they’re both up for it! Afternoon: Depending on energy levels, we’ll either go for a second walk, visit a dog-friendly café, or just enjoy the sunshine. Evening: Dinner, cuddles, and a final walk before bed. Bedtime: Your dog will settle into their own comfy space with anything that helps them feel relaxed and at home.

Shida can host up to 1 pet per night
Before your dog arrives, I’ll ask a few things to help them settle in smoothly: • Are they comfortable with other dogs (especially puppies)? • What’s their feeding routine and favourite treats? • Any allergies or meds I should know about? • How do they walk on a lead — and do they have favourite routes? • Where do they usually sleep? • Any quirks, commands, or comfort items I should know about? • House rules (e.g. furniture, crate use)? For longer stays, a short written summary is helpful - it makes it easier for me to stick to their routine and keep things stress-free.
