Information Akshata S. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Gentle, patient and caring sitter

Pet care experience

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.

Akshata took such good care of Ripken! She sent wonderful update pictures daily and was great on communication. Would highly recommend and will ask for services again.

Akshata and her family were extremely warm and made me feel completely at ease leaving my baby with her. She kept sending lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I absolutely loved the care she provided for my baby. I would highly recommend Akshata if you want your pup to feel loved, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away!

One of the best boarding we have used in a long time. Very engaging with updates and pics of your furbaby. The kindness and caring for our dog was felt and seen. Really appreciate that and would highly recommend them. Will definitely be using them again.

Akshata was wonderful. Penny had a great time and was clearly well taken care of. We got updates throughout her stay and Penny was clearly comfortable. I’d definitely book again with Akshata. Another big plus for us is she was right next to Dulles which made drop off and pick up a breeze.
