Love pets and a lot of treats!

Hi! I wanna start with the fact that I have a cat - he is a ginger boy and loves to cuddle! Before I adopted him I had a foster cat who was completely opposite to Fredi and I recognised what kind of attention, what kind of treats/playtime was important for them. I absolutely love cats, they are such cute babies and such misunderstood loves! They have boundaries and we need to learn how to understand and respect them. Because once we do, they will absolutely love you! Even before this, I took care of a fair share of cats! Loved each and every one of them and always had them come to me first before I interacted with them! I pet them, play with them make sure they are given enough and a lot of attention!!

I will first try to make your pet feel safe with me before even petting them, it’s important that they feel safe and comfortable and we bond slowly and steadily. Lots of treat and positive reinforcement!!! LOTS OF TREATS hahahah

I wanna say that Shikha did an amazing job taking care of my cat Gattous when I was away traveling out of Vienna for a few days. Gattous can be a little picky with people, but he felt comfortable with her very quickly, which says a lot. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and little messages and that made me feel really relaxed while I was away. I could tell that Gattous was getting lots of attention and playtime and care. When I came back, he was happy, calm, and clearly well looked after. I’d definitely trust Shikha to watch him again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter in Vienna.

I discovered Shikha through a friend of mine when i needed a last minute dog sitter this past month. And all i gotta say is WOW. We chilled together with my dog Lucy for about 2 hours when Shikha came to our place and from the moment we started talking i felt so at ease and comfortable around her. Same for my dog who wagged her tail and was running around Shikha as if she knew her for years. During Shikha‘s 2 day stay at my place with Lucy she regularly played with her, gave her treats and took her out walking to some really beautiful dog parks, where she also played fetch with Lucy. Shikha sent me pictures and videos of Lucy daily, where Lucy seemed so happy. All this combined took all of my anxiety away and made Shikha a very trusted dog sitter for me. Next time when i need someone for Lucy Shikha will be my first choice!

I met Freddie at the same time I met Shikha. That is how they function, a unit. There’s no Freddie without Shikha. If Freddie is not okey, Shikha is not okey. Just like a parental figure, Shikha has given the love, care and attention that any animal needs. Even as a cat, he has been cared for and still continues to but having a strict diet, regular health care and atmosphere that a cat needs. Outside of this, I see the humanity of Shikha by how she intercedes with Freddie. From the secret language, the code switching and even the gameplay they have. I can say that this is how I believe every animal should be treated, irrespective. Because at the end of the day, we share this planet we call home with them 💜

Shikha is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I have ever met in my life! She is very communicative, sweet, funny, smart, nurturing and overall spreads good energy everywhere she goes I would leave my pet, kids, inheritance, MY OWN LIFE with this human being and I wouldn’t blink twice (speaking from experience)
