Loving, stay-at-home dog sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been the primary caretaker for our family pets throughout the years. Our last dog was a rescued toy poodle and I have now fallen in love with small breeds!

I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in Shima’s care. I could see he was well taken care of. He’ll be staying with Shima for a longer visit at the end of May for sure.

Shima and her family did a great job - watching our dog Romeo .I got a lot of pictures and video every day. I would highly recommend Shima as a pet sitter to everyone. Shima is caring person and put attention to every detail. Thank you so much!!!

Once again Shima and her family took very good care of my dog Ziggy. He enjoyed his stay and was very comfortable in her home. We loved all the photos and videos she sent us. We highly recommend Shima!

shima did a phenomenal job taking care of my pup Kai. She sent videos and pictures during my international vacation and was mindful of the timing and everything. My dog didn’t want to come home he had such a great time and will be using shima in the future for my dog!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be loved and cared for during their stay! I only accept one client at a time, so your pup will have our full attention. We are pretty relaxed and do allow pets on some furniture, but are happy to enforce your rules in our home. Although I do not have a fenced yard, there are plenty of trails and neighborhoods for exercise and potty breaks. We ask that you provide a leash, collar/harness, and food. We also encourage you to bring items such as beds, blankets, treats and toys from home.
