Safe and Loving Nest for Dogs
We’ve been caring for dogs together for nearly 8 years. Sanna has grown up with dogs her whole life, and as a team, we’re great at handling high-energy pups. We love playing fetch and tug to keep them active.

Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful for Balaji and his utmost care during our dog Chucky’s stay. He was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date everyday while we were away, which we appreciated a lot. Chucky has enjoyed his time here and I recommend Balaji as a dog sitter to everyone looking for an experienced sitter who truly cares about dogs.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience. From day one, we received so many photos and videos that we never had to wonder how Midzy was doing. It was clear he was having the best time, getting lots of attention, love, and playtime. Seeing those updates every day gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was when we picked him up. Midzy was so calm, relaxed, and incredibly clean. As pet parents, you know your dog, and we could immediately tell he had been genuinely cared for—not just watched. He came home happy, comfortable, and stress-free, which has honestly never been our experience with boarding before. We’re so grateful for the amazing care Midzy received. We would trust them with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat your dog like family.
Once again, Simba had an amazing stay with Balaji and family, with excellent care and attention! We always looked forward to seeing his many updates through pictures and videos sent daily. Simba always has a fun time with Mocha too! Thank you for everything
Awesome people to take care of my dog. Very friendly, professional and helpful. They gave frequent updates and sent photos of the dog enjoying their company. They fed the dog on time and took great care of him.
We had a wonderful experience with Balaji. We needed a sitter for our two week international trip and were nervous because this was our one-year-old toy poodle's first time being away from us. From the very beginning, Balaji reassured us that our dog would be well cared for. He even offered a short trial stay at his home so our dog could become familiar with the environment before the boarding stay. During that two hour trial stay, Balaji sent us photos and videos, which gave us confidence that our dog was comfortable and in good hands. Throughout the two week boarding period, Balaji sent multiple photos and videos every day, allowing us to see that our dog was comfortable and receiving good care. He was also very responsive and replied to our messages very quickly. Knowing that our dog was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Balaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Neeva had such a good time. Mr. Balaji took good care and was keeping us updated. Very professional.

Schedule
Sanna and I work remotely and have a great love for dogs, which allows us to offer flexible and attentive care. Our mini Goldendoodle, Mocha, has been a cherished part of our lifes. She enjoys walks, trips to national parks, and being with us all the time. When we first meet, she might bark to get your attention and affection, as she’s very friendly and loves being petted. Mocha gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is very adaptable to different personalities. If your pup loves to play, she’ll happily join in the fun! If they prefer space and quiet time, she’s very respectful and will give them the room they need. She’s friendly, and always adjusts to make her furry friends feel comfortable. We truly couldn’t do this without Mocha’s patience and love for her furry friends. She’s the heart of our home and makes every pup feel safe, welcomed, and loved. 🐾💛 We typically don’t keep crates at home—our dog Mocha has her own cozy den where she enjoys her meals and stores her toys. We like to let dogs move freely around the house. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, just not on the bed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a cozy condo. We don’t offer in-home visits, but we’d be happy to meet at a nearby park to make sure everyone’s comfortable. We can also share photos of our space if you want so you can see where your pup will be staying and feel completely at ease. For a smoother and calmer experience, we offer curbside pick-up and drop-off only. When you’re heading our way, please send us your ETA, and once you arrive, just text us, we’ll meet you outside for a quick and easy handoff. We’re always within earshot and view, making it easy to gently monitor their comfort, behavior, and interactions throughout the day—ensuring they always feel safe, calm, and cared for. Our front and back yards are unfenced, but we’re always outside with the dogs, keeping a close eye on them. We use a 30-40 foot agility leash to give them room to move safely while ensuring they’re never left unattended. Their safety is always our top priority. We typically host small and medium dogs. If your pup is crate-trained and sleeps in their crate at night, please bring their crate along and let us know.

A typical day
We love playing tug and fetch with Mocha and with other pets who enjoy it too. We also let them out regularly every 2–3 hours.
