Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Aastha (sounds like pasta) and I will LOVE YOUR PET! I’ve taken care of dogs (and a few cats) of every kind since I was 12 -- that's when I had my first dog walking job. I have 15 years of experience and have volunteered with many animal foundations including (and most recent) Dachshund Rescue Los Angeles where I have taken care of over 10 dogs (that were either abused, neglected, or in the shelter) over the pandemic and got them cleaned up, rehabilitated (often from surgery), and ready for their fur-ever home! Many successful adoptions and saved lives. <3 I'm full-time remote working so your pup will be with me at home throughout the day! I will make sure your pup gets lots of love and exercise every few hours! There is a dog park (literally a 5 minute walk away) that I will take your pup if you feel comfortable! I make sure they feel comfortable as soon as they arrive. I've have introduced lots of new dogs to my home (because of my volunteering with Dachshund Rescue LA) so I want to make sure to let the dogs first smell and explore everywhere they need to to determine this is a safe and fun place for them to be! Our home is over 1200 sq ft so there's lots of room to run around and play -- see photos for details! Also specializing in dogs with special need as well ie. high anxiety, dogs that needs meds, care pre and post surgery etc.
Reviews
Aastha is fantastic! My dog is a recent rescue, so he comes with all the trauma and strangeness that comes with that, and Aastha was both effective and patient in dealing with him. She sent me daily updates and took him to the park plenty. It's never easy to leave your dog with a sitter, especially if you're dealing with a dog with separation anxiety and the like, but if you need to, Aastha is the best you can hope for. 10/10 — thanks Aastha!
Asthma was great and we loved the constant updates! Our dogs came back super happy!
Aastha was absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of my dog Wyatt, and made sure to send me photos / updates. She was amazing, I really appreciate how accommodating she was with my schedule, and great communication. Wyatt had a blast and we’ll definitely see Aastha soon!
When Aastha says she will love your pet, she’s not kidding! My dog Adi is a timid, shy, reserved rescue that has been though abuse in her childhood and basically doesn’t like, let alone love humans. My pup now adores and LOVES Aastha. Aastha is patient, kind, gentle, and SO playful with my pup so its helped her trust Aastha. Now each time she sees Aastha, she’s SO excited and full of energy to greet her and stay with her! Aastha takes my pup on wonderful walks/hikes/runs and goes above and beyond when she’s caring for her. I am SO picky with who I’d leave my pup with because of her sensitivity, and Aastha is hands down one of the few people I’d trust with Adi! I get lots of photos from Aastha when she’s caring for Adi, which helps me stay connected with her. Aastha communicates and asks questions I wouldn’t even think about to be honest. I have commands that are unique to my dog and she’s always consistent with them, which I greatly appreciate. I also have a very healthy (yet complicated diet) and Aastha is so great with Adi’s food program. Thank you Aastha for all the love and care you offer my dog!
