I think Shivambika did a very good job with my 7 lb. Yorkshire Terrier. She learned about and respected some of his breed’s idiosyncrasies. She took him into her yard, on a leash, & to a nearby trail. No doubt he loved that. It was my fault that he had to be exposed to another dog for his last 3 days, as I initially got my return date wrong . But he dealt with that pretty well, it seems.

Shivambika was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. She sent me pictures, videos and comminicated with me regularly about Lucy (my dog). She took great care of Lucy. I am very happy I found a reliable dog care giver.

Great experience! I feel like Shivambika treated our dog like he was hers for the week she watched him. He would snuggle with her in the morning, sit on her and her husband’s lap on fuzzy blankets in the evenings. I got many pictures and videos.

Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!
