Information Aarthi Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, temperament, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering most medications (oral or topical), but I do not administer injections. It’s also helpful to know about any allergies, triggers, or behaviors (such as anxiety, leash reactivity, or separation concerns). I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. We’ll start with a morning walk or potty break, followed by feeding and some relaxed time to settle in. Throughout the day, I like to mix in playtime, enrichment games, and walks to explore the neighborhood or a nearby park. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, cuddles, and rest time so your pet feels safe and at home. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things consistent.

Animal Lover Offering Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I had my Shih Tzu, Jasper, for 15 years, from 2008 until he passed two years ago, and he was truly my baby. Before my brother moved out, I also helped take care of his cat, Honey, who we had for about four years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I love animals of all kinds—big or small—and I’m excited to channel that love and care into pet sitting, making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. While I’m new to pet sitting, I am well experienced with pet care. My family members have had pets since I was 8 years old and I’m used to different animals and personalities.

Aarthi was fantastic! She took excellent care of my elderly dog, who requires medication three times a day. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with pictures and regular details on how he was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. She made sure all of his needs were met, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.

Aarthi and her mom were amazing! Holly's stay could not have been more enjoyable. I truly believe if she stayed with Aarthi forever she would be ok with that! LOL. Aarthi provided frequent updates and pics which gave us comfort knowing that Holly was happy. Aarthi and her mom are truly pet lovers and it shows in the way they care for their furry guests. We are so glad we found Aarthi and will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Aarthi!

I'm really grateful I found Aarthi. She's close to my home and took amazing care of my anxious little shihpoo. Aarthi kept me updated and sent photos. I could tell my Buddy was doing really good and didn't take him long to make himself at home. He had lots of walks etc. I highly recommend Aarthi to look after your pet, she loves animals and it's clearly obvious. I will use her services again!
