Highlights
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! What I offer: - A clean and quiet home with private fenced backyard - A quaint residential neighborhood with minimal traffic and plenty of green spaces for walks - Flexible schedule with 4+ walks a day, or more if requested - Consistant supervision and companionship, I work from home and someone is always home - Fresh filtered water - Temperature controlled house - Daily morning updates, or more if requested - Fresh food options if requested (fruits, veggies, plain cooked chicken breast) - Accommodation for special routines, medications, dietary restrictions

Ratings and reviews
Shiksha was very communicative and sent us pictures of Jax throughout the morning! She was able to accommodate us on short notice too!
She was great watching mookie for me and kept me updated each day
Shiksha watched our dog and did a great job!! Thank you!
Did a great job
Amazing! Shiksga took amazing care of Biggie and we're already scheduling our next visit!
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 and time based on your dog's needs. I only board one family's dog at a time providing dedicated time and attention to them.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In general, I follow instructions to the T. You can have peace of mind. 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.
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. Here is my daily routine when boarding a dog: - 30-60 minutes walks in the morning, midday, early evening, and night - Plenty of playtime in the backyard and inside - Refresh water (and food, unless scheduled), twice a day - Morning updates for parents or more as needed - Companionship throughout the day

- Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, dietary restrictions, medications, or unique behaviors so I can provide the best care possible.
