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.

25 years experience, fenced yard,

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for 25 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, but my husband works from home. We 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.

Alka and Rajeev welcomed my pets into their home as if they were their own. Their home is warm and inviting. They sent updates and pictures of my cat and dog to let me know how they were doing. I felt comforted in knowing my pets were in good hands.

Alka and Rajeev are very nice, and were very attentive to our dog. She got a walk in addition to enjoying their fenced in yard. We especially like that they only take one pet at a time. We’ve used them twice, and plan on using them again in the future.

Elsie had a great weekend with Alka and Rajeev! She loved exploring the fenced yard and watching out the front window. Elsie took some time to get comfortable, and Alka and Rajeev worked with her to get her to eat and take her meds.

We felt very at ease with Alka and Rajeev taking care of our dog for several days. We appreciated the daily check-ins and videos, which helped us know Tria was in good hands.
