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!) ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
-Your Peace of Mind Matters: I treat your home and pets like my own, ensuring they’re safe, protected, and well cared for. -Respecting Your Space: I only access designated areas, leave the place better than how I found it, and always lock up securely before leaving. -No Exceptions on Feeding Rules: I follow feeding instructions to a T—no matter how convincing those puppy eyes are! -Overnight Stays: During overnight visits, I spend my free time giving your pet affection. I never leave, except for walks and playtime with your pet. -Attuned to your Pet’s Needs: I let shy and nervous pups warm up to me at their own pace, always prioritizing their comfort and emotional safety.
Ratings and reviews
Aarthi is absolutely amazing! Our dogs love her, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such great hands. She consistently goes above and beyond, is incredibly caring and reliable, and is always very communicative with updates. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter. Highly recommend Aarthi!
We had such a great experience with Aarthi (again)! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and sent us updates and pictures every night, which gave us so much peace of mind. Everything was clean and taken care of, and most importantly, our babies were happy and well cared for. 🥰 We really appreciate how thoughtful and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her! 🖤
I ask her to just walk the dog but she always says hello to our cats too ❤️
I was glad to have Aarthi look after Misty while we were away on vacation. She came by to feed and play with her, sent us pictures and updates, and kept the area clean. Aarthi was very responsive, friendly, and attentive to every detail. We will definitely ask her to look after Misty again the next time we travel!
Aarthi is an amazing care giver. She took care of our cat while we were on vacation. We got regular updates and pictures. We found a happy cat on our return.
We have now had Aarthi watch our dogs twice now and we will continue to have her care for our fur babies when we’re out of town! She always goes above and beyond. Her attention to details, incredible communication and overall genuine care she gives are pups is unmatched. I feel so at ease knowing she’s checking in on them!

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.
