Availability

As a dedicated pet parent and experienced caregiver, I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My schedule is structured yet flexible, ensuring your pup gets the love, exercise, and companionship they need. ☀️ Morning: A refreshing walk, breakfast, and playtime to start the day off right. 💻 Work Hours: While I manage my tasks remotely, your dog will have a calm, cozy space to relax—with plenty of check-ins, belly rubs, and enrichment breaks! 🚶 Midday: A longer walk or potty break to keep them active and happy. 🐶 Afternoon: More playtime, snuggles, and socialization as I wrap up my work. 🌙 Evening: Dinner, a relaxing stroll, and winding down for a restful night. Your pup will never feel lonely, and I’ll always ensure their routine is maintained just like at home. Whether they love outdoor adventures, cozy naps, or extra belly rubs, I’m here to provide a safe, loving experience.

Information Shiva M. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. To provide the best experience, I’d love to learn more about their: Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any special habits. Temperament & Socialization: How they interact with new people, dogs, or new environments. Medical Needs & Dietary Restrictions: Any medications, allergies, or food sensitivities. Comfort & Training Preferences: Crate-trained? Leash-pulling? Any commands they know or are working on? Energy Levels & Favorite Activities: Whether they love long walks, playtime, or just snuggling on the couch. Triggers or Anxieties: Loud noises, separation anxiety, or anything that makes them nervous. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where your dog feels right at home.
