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.

Reviews

We had such a wonderful experience with Shiva! She took incredible care of our active and finicky eating six-month-old puppy and gave us complete peace of mind while he was boarding with her. It is clear Shiva loves dogs and not only that but she was responsible, attentive, and prompt with communication. Her home is spacious with a large backyard, which gave our puppy plenty of room to play and enjoy himself. Her dogs were also wonderful with him and made him feel right at home. It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend Shiva to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ve already booked another service.

Fantastic!

Thanks a million to Shiva for taking such good care of our baby. He is an anxious pup and shiva and her family were so patient with him. We received detailed updates with pictures that nearly teared us up as we have never seen our pup so calm and content with anyone else up until now. Our long weekend was extra special knowing he was in good hands. 14/10 recommend.

Another great walk! Thanks Shiva!
