Pet care experience

Lifelong pet lover and carer

I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra love and patience. I have volunteered at our local animal shelter where I took care of mummies and disabled dogs. I currently do not have a dog, and have plenty of love and care to give to yours!

Shiksha’s experience with treating and taking care of dogs extends beyond professionalism to her love for dogs. She regularly volunteers at dog shelters, and always does a great job pet sitting for mine when I’m away. I’d definitely recommend her to any dog owner without a doubt.

Schedule

I work from home and will have flexibility based on your dog's needs. I am happy to board your dog during the day or overnight, and I will be able to take them out for as many walks as needed. I am currently in a house with a fenced backyard, giving dogs extra space to safely play, explore, and get fresh air throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

In general, I follow instructions to the T. You can have peace of mind. For boarding, I am happy to follow your instructions including crating and walk schedule.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs both physically and mentally engaged. A typical day includes playtime with toys or fetch, practicing simple training cues. Above all, if your dog likes to walk, then we are going to have a great time. I would love to take them out multiple times a day for 30 minutes to 1hr walks.
