Friendly & Knowledgable Pet Sitter

I am an animal advocate and the mom of a sweet little Yorkie and Pomeranian. I’ve been passionate about animal welfare since I was a kid - I volunteered at several rescues and shelters growing up and spent a majority of my career working at the ASPCA, the nation’s first animal welfare organization. During my free time, I foster rescue dogs and cats in need of homes. I never feel like I get enough time with animals, so I am always looking to meet new fur babies and pet sit them in my apartment, or take them on walks around the neighborhood! I have experience handling small and medium sized dogs and cats of all breeds. I’ve also worked with shy animals on behavior training. Looking forward to making new furry friends in this community!

Bhavana was absolutely amazing minding our dog shady for 17 days! She made contact every day with pictures and videos and I could tell shady really enjoyed himself there and bonded with her. I would highly recommend Bhavana to anyone

Bhavana was great with my cat Theo. He was calm and comfortable after spending some time with her. She is very responsive with her communication. Definitely would book again!

Bhavana is extremely trustworthy and always makes sure that I am updated on the status of my senior dog. He loves her and she always makes sure that he is enriched during their time together

I could not have asked for a better sitter for my two elderly dogs while I was out of town. We had just moved to the city and never left them with a sitter before and Bhavana gave them such thoughtful care and always shared photo updates with me. They probably had a better and more enriching week with her than they get when I am home!

She is the best. She was very attentive, and present for my dog. She immediate was aware of the needs of my dogs and pay attentions on particular need to provide the right support with food or health requirements. She took the time to check how well the dogs were taking alone to leave them togheter. The communication was amazing and always update me. I hardly recommend her to two care of your pet. You will be in good hands and soul.
