Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog foster and trainer.
I have experience with a variety of dogs, such as a German Shepherd + Black Labrador Retriever Mix, whom I fostered and trained from 4 weeks to 4 years; an adult German Shepherd + Pitbull + Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix, whom I fostered for 2 months and socialized (she came to us very afraid of people, primarily men); a Great Pyrenees puppy (~2-4 months old), whom I only fostered for a month, but was able to successfully leash, potty, and crate train; and most recently, a 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, whom I fostered for two years and crate trained, leash trained, recall trained (some off leash training, although due to breed regulations this was not tested in public settings), and socialized (to other dogs, high prey drive meant no cats)- this dog was adopted and is now a farm dog (notably, a livestock guardian dog, not herding- putting the high prey drive to use)! I am very partial to American Staffordshire Terriers and bully mixes, and thus have a lot of experience with this breed due to overcrowding of them in Texas shelters. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and even helped socialize and generally train future service dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I keep a close eye on a dog’s body language to gauge their needs. My current apartment is not super dog friendly, so I usually stay at client’s home. This allows me the regular resources to optimally care for a pet.
Ratings and reviews
I have had 4 dogs over the past and Kartik has always looked after them. He walks them and just loves animals, so when he’s with my dogs, they gravitate towards him and he’s sweet and gentle with them. Best dog sitter ever!
Cares a lot about the pets! Helped me leash train my German Shepherd and helped deal with resource guarding behaviors in a way that minimized risk for all parties.

I’m a student with a flexible schedule! Can watch dogs on weekends, weekdays, holidays. I typically walk dogs in the morning and in the evening, when the sun isn’t so scorching.
