Pet care experience

I have been around cats and dogs my whole life, feel pets are absolutely part of the family, and am a confident and competent in caring, walking, bathing, and grooming. Having an anxious cat myself, my super power is patience. My calm and friendly personality gels well with all kinds of pet personalities!

I went overseas for about a month and needed someone to watch my senior dog. I came across Asmita as she had experience with senior dogs and met up for a meet and greet. Her home is so cozy, open to all spaces for my dog to roam, and even has a completely enclosed backyard with turf for him to go potty and sunbathe. She is so sweet and I had no doubt my dog wouldn’t be in good care. Plans were that my brother watch my dog half the time then Asmita would watch my dog the rest of my stay but my brother wasn’t able to after just a few days. Desperately trying to find a solution, Asmita came through and was able to accommodate this unexpected schedule change and watch my dog sooner than planned. During my dog’s stay, Asmita regularly sent photos, videos, updates about his mood, eating habits, and character/personality traits that she had learned about him. It was endearing to find out just how observant and an empathetic of a person she is. Aside from her nurturing, gentle soul, she is also very professional, sharp and extremely attentive. We are so lucky to have come across her and look forward to using her exceptional hospitality in the near future. Thank you, Asmita!!

If we could’ve known of Asmita sooner, we definitely would’ve taken more trips! She was so accommodating from the last minute booking to our arrival time of pickup! We have never left Shyloh with a sitter before, but Asmita made it so smooth and comfortable! Shyloh is high energy, and it seemed that was no problem with her! She also kept him on his schedule and supplied him with all the attention he could want. Asmita was excellent with sending updates, with videos / pictures as well! That definitely was a huge bonus for us. I would definitely love to have Shyloh with her again, and I know for certain he would too! 🐾 thank you Asmita!!

Asmita was great with my dog and 2 cats. Seemed like she cared for them as if they were her own. I would definitely hire her again!

There are not enough stars in the rating system to adequately express the level of care, compassion, and dedication that Asmita has shown towards my 14-year-old yellow lab, Homer. Homer, despite battling the challenges of dementia and losing his sight, remains a fun-loving dog with a zest for life, enjoying his days outside playing, eating, and simply being a happy dog. Finding someone who understands and accommodates his special needs, ensuring he continues to live his best life despite his ailments, has always been paramount for me. Enter Asmita, a caregiver whose name now resonates in our home with warmth and gratitude. From our initial meeting, it was clear that she possesses an innate understanding and love for animals that is truly rare. What makes Asmita stand out is not just her ability to meet Homer's needs but her exceptional capacity to connect with him on a deeply emotional level, making sure he feels loved, secure, and understood. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She meticulously followed Homer's daily routine, adapting it as necessary to better suit his comfort and happiness. She was incredibly patient and gentle with him, giving him the time he needed to adjust to her presence and new routines. Her intuitive approach to his care, particularly in managing his dementia and vision loss, ensured that Homer continued to engage in his favorite activities safely and joyously. But Asmita's care extended beyond just Homer. She provided me with peace of mind, regularly updating me with photos, videos, and messages about how Homer was doing, which was comforting beyond words. It was evident in every update that Homer wasn't just being looked after; he was being cherished and loved as if he were her own. Her flexibility, reliability, and open communication have made her an indispensable part of our lives. She went above and beyond in every aspect, from ensuring Homer's medical needs were met to making sure he had ample playtime and love. Asmita didn't just meet my expectations; she shattered them, elevating the standard of care in ways I hadn't imagined possible. To say Asmita is an amazing dog sitter would be an understatement. She is, without a doubt, a remarkable caregiver whose impact on our lives has been profound. I am eternally grateful for her kindness, expertise, and the joy she has brought to Homer's life. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet as if they were their own, look no further than Asmita. She is truly one in a million.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very private and solidly fenced in backyard with concrete and artificial turf, lots of space for dogs to play or cats to roam. Aside from all the cat toys, most people don't know i have cats because my home is very clean. My neighborhood includes 4 cul-de-sacs before going onto a main road so lots of sidewalk to so walk and not much vehicle traffic. Local dog park only about a 5 min drive away and my two cats would be completely seperated from the main part of the house when guest animals come to visit.

Information Asmita J. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s important to know pets dislikes - such as no touching ears or tails, or what behaviors your pet can show when they are getting uncomfortable. I’d love to know any health/diet restrictions so I can use treats for trust and bond building as well.

A typical day

Explore different walking paths, visit to the local dog park to meet new smells and see new things, lots of cuddle time and even some sun bathing.
