Pet care experience

Gentle, patient and caring sitter

I have always been a dog mom, but in 2021 I adopted a cat too who had seizures. With over 15 + years of experience caring for my own pets and nurturing strays and community animals back in India, i bring genuine compassion, patience and deep understanding to pet boarding/ sitting. Its not just a service - its a heartfelt connection. Your pets will be treated like family, because that is how i have always cared for mine.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 06, 2026

Akshata is very sweet and caring. Kai is usually very shy, but he seemed to get comfortable with her and her place almost immediately. She even sent me photos of him settling in, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Akshata did an amazing job taking care of my dog over the weekend. She made sure to take many pictures and videos throughout the weekend and asked great questions to ensure my dog received the care he needed. I would love to book again with Akshata.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 25, 2026

Akshata is a thoughtful and kind person. She took my WALL-E in with open arms. She updated me with photos and has great communication. The love that she has for animals is authentic. WALL-E IS EXCITED to go to day care when arriving. Akshata pays attention to what's required for your fur baby. Which I'm so thankful to have met her. Thank you so much for caring for my Lil fur guy!!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a comfortable one bed apartment in Herndon. I have a great community where i can take the pet for a walk as well. I am very well versed with feeding pets and giving medicines if any. I am happy to board pets while parents are travelling. I will be sharing timely pictures with the pet parents of their fur babies and keep them updated. I make sure to follow care instructions carefully. I also get on greet and meet calls or set up direct meetings with pet parents to know them and their pets ( whatever suits the parents)

A typical day

I would take them for timely loo breaks. Play some mind stimulating games indoors. I have a car so can take them to the nearby parks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Akshata can host up to 1 pet per night
I would prefer if pet parents give me proper instructions on their babies behaviour, if they spray around, snap or any specific care instructions in advance to avoid any accidents. I have dealt with snappy dogs but getting a headsup would definitely help.
