Highlights
Pet care experience
I really should be paying YOU
If your pet lives to be 15 years old, that's 15 summers, 15 winters, 15 Christmases, and 15 birthdays. . Because their time with us is so precious, I believe every walk, every visit, and every minute I get to spend with them matters. . My approach to caretaking is inspired by the writings of Dr. Jane Goodall and Indigenous teachings which emphasize that animals are our teachers. I believe every pet I care for is a teacher of love, trust, patience, and presence. Much of my work is focused on approaching with love, treating their needs with respect, being present, and learning from them. . My hope is to listen closely to your pet and be a small but loving part of their life's journey. I hope to fill the moments I have with your fur baby with lots of love, trust, adventure, and fun when you cannot be with them. . I would be grateful for your trust and the opportunity to befriend your little one (or ones!) ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Aarthi took amazing care of our cat, Tater Tot, while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. It was clear that Tater Tot was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Aarthi was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating Tater like one of her own. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
Aarthi was amazing! She was always on time, sent photos and updates, and communicated wonderfully throughout our trip. We came home to a house that was in perfect condition, and it was such a thoughtful surprise to find treats for the cats and a sweet note waiting for us. I have an elderly cat who requires special care and medication, and Aarthi handled everything perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, and we will definitely be using her again! The Welkowsky Family ❤️
Fantastic and caring walker. We know our pup is in great hands.
Aarthi is a premium pet sitter. Went above and beyond to look after my senior cat and to keep me updated. She was extremely attentive to even my fish and did notice he was not his usual self when the aquarium filter needed change. Helped me address it quickly. Will definitely recommend Aarthi for your pet care. 5 stars! Thank you Aarthi.
Aarthi was the best pet sitter we could have ever wished for and 1000% more. I was stressed for weeks about leaving my 2 cats while we went to Japan. They honestly seemed happier when we got back than when we left. She sent pictures, videos, and message updates about their activity level each time and responded so quickly, offered FaceTimes if we missed them, brought them treats (she asked if ok, and formed a bond with them, etc! She left so many personal touches that really stood out. I’m so glad I found Aarthi so I can be at total ease for future travel. Thank you so much!!
Aarthi was great walking Sofia. Sofia doesn’t normally walk with someone new like that last minute, but felt comfortable with Aarthi. Thank you again for the last minute request.

Schedule
I work part time as a preschool teacher and attend online school as well, so my schedule is very very flexible! I’ll have plenty of time to give your fur child lots and lots of one on one attention.
