23 years experience, fenced yard,

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for 23 years, am a dog lover, will care for your dog like my own, have lots of experience with medication as well. I teach high school, so get back around 4 pm, and have a large fenced backyard. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. My husband and I like to take the dogs on a walk as well. I will allow your dog on furniture, if he is allowed at your house. I do have a large crate at home, so if your dog does need to be kenneled at night, you will not have to bring your own. We board pets of only one family at a time, so yes, no worries if your pet doesn’t like others.

We left our dog Bruno with Alka and Rajeev for a week and couldn’t be happier. They took special care of him and provided updates, photos and feedback throughout the stay. We will definitely book with them again in the future.

Alka and Rajeev took care of our senior dog in their home while we were on a family vacation. They were great with our dog and would send regular updates/photos. Our flight coming home was delayed a day and they were true lifesavers for keeping our dog an extra night. When we got home, our dog seemed relaxed and happy. We will definately be using them again to take care of our dog. I would absolutely recommend them to take care of your furry pets!

Information Alka & Rajeev G. would like to know about your pet

We need to know their schedule and special needs. I do have a lot of craft stuff- fabric and yarn mostly- around the house due to my sewing/ crochet online business, so yes, if the dogs get into stuff or are grabby, that might not work out for us.

A typical day

We follow the instructions and schedule provided by the family and take the pets on a walk outside, if that’s what the owners want. Otherwise, we let them out in our huge fenced backyard.
