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.

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!

We are so happy we found Balaji to take care of Nysa! He is such a wonderful and caring person who truly treats her like his own. We’ve left Nysa with him more than three times now, and Balaji is always our first preference. He keeps us updated throughout the day with pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind. While we’re at work, we feel completely stress-free knowing Nysa is in such good hands. It’s also been great to see how well his dog has adapted to Nysa—they have so much fun together. Highly recommend!

Balaji, Sanna and Mocha are simply amazing!! We were so excited to receive the frequent photo and video updates daily! Simba truly had the time of his life during his 9 day stay with them, and I’m sure he will miss this time a lot as he adjusts back. He got so spoiled with his frequent walks and play time with Mocha’s toys, friends and space!! Thank you all again so much. We can’t wait for him to spend time again with you all soon hopefully.

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.

Balaji & Sanna can host up to 1 walk per day
We prefer to meet at a public park for the introduction, as it helps the dogs get comfortable and interact freely in a neutral environment. We only host small and medium size dogs. To help create a smooth and happy stay, we’d love to know about your dog’s daily routine—including their feeding schedule, any medications, energy level, favorite activities, and potty break habits. It’s also important that your dogs are friendly with other dogs, fully potty trained, no toy or food aggression and up to date on vaccinations to ensure a safe and fun environment for everyone. To ensure smooth transitions, please select pickup and drop-off times within a 30-minute to 1-hour window. This helps us plan our schedule efficiently. We’re happy to help with any needed changes.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
