“Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️”

Shane H.
“Shane has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for our two Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mixes - and if you know heelers, you know they're full of energy and can be a handful! From day one, Shane has been incredibly patient, kind and attentive with time. he took the time to earn their trust and understand their quirks, and now they absolutely adore him. It's such a relief to know they're in good hands. Shane gives them the exercise and structure they need, but more importantly, he treats them like his own. I genuinely appreciate the peace of mind he brings to our lives. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced, I can't recommend Shane enough.”
