Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their regular routines. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, nutritious meals according to their dietary needs, and regular exercise suited to their age and energy level. I also have a huge backyard providing dogs with space to run freely and get some exercise in if needed. (other than routine walks) When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal schedule and minimize stress. I keep their environment clean, provide companionship, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Communication is key, so I always keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, or videos to give them peace of mind.

Pet care experience

We had a wonderful experience! They provided tons of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Simba felt completely safe and comfortable, and he absolutely loved having their pet dog Sirius as a companion to play with. When we picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for better care!

Simba and Nala had the absolute best time with Akshay. We are so grateful for the care and attention they got there, and it was honestly the best Rover experience we’ve ever had!!! We can’t wait for future stays with Akshay and Sirius!

Akshay and his wife were awesome with my little guy! When it was time to pick him up my boy was smiling from ear to ear. They sent me update pictures throughout his time with them and they also gave me some tips on what I can do at home. Akshay is very attentive and patient. Thank you for watching Onyx! We will definitely be calling you again!
