Power Couple friends for your pet!

Pet care experience

Hello, we are Colin and Vasundhara and we would love to take care of your dog! We are a young, energetic couple that loves all animals, and we have been taking care of them for a long time. We live in a nice spacious house in which your dog can run around while Colin works from home full time, and the neighborhood is safe and perfect for walks. Here is what your dog will get from us: - me and my wife's attention (I am home full time) - balls, frisbee, rope, and other toys - walked, food, and water as often as it needs or you say - spacious, air conditioned home in a safe neighborhood with a cul-de-sac - his or her own dog friend in Kimba! She gets along with all dogs - photos and updates for you - hazardous foods and materials out of reach, safe environment - pets, hugs, and treats! Your dog must be: - crate or house trained, not potty accident prone - Not marking territory indoors - quiet, just out of respect to my neighbors - friendly with dogs - a photo or meet and greet - not aggressive or destructive - not a "dangerous" breed, per my HOA (sorry, no pitbulls or pitbull mixes) What I need from you: - any special care instructions - food - treats (optional) - assurance that your dog meets the guidelines I have said above - general info about your dog, shots, etc. Please understand that there may be extra charges for longer than expected stays. Just let me know if your dog needs to stay longer, it should be fine :) We do not watch dogs on a long term routine basis unfortunately. Two weeks is probably our max. Stays that are on a daily or weekly basis are also not the best for us, and unfortunately Rover does not let us decline those services. We also ask every owner to be responsible for any damage the dog has done during the stay. I do my best to keep things out of their path and keep an eye on them, but I have been burned before with dogs destroying permanent fixtures, so please keep this in mind. Pet care fits into our routine because we already have a dog, so it is quite easy for us to just care for another pet or two. We take care of your pets by relaxing, playing, comforting, and loving them, just as much as you would! Many times people tell us their dogs don’t want to go back home, so we try to treat them like part of the family so they all feel that way.

Colin and Vazu were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos and answered my texts quickly. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my Beau was in very capable and loving hands. Definitely would use them again.

Colin and his wife were wonderful! They not only took in our dog last minute, but made the preparations easy. They were very flexible and upon meeting them, we were completely comfortable leaving our Bailey with them. We were sent photos and a video during her stay. The very best part, our border collie came home tired. Yes, our BORDER COLLIE. Came. Home. Tired! Which is honestly a near impossible feat! The back yard is great and our high maintenance dog was very well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend a stay with this couple. We can't thank them enough!

My dog Lola was happy when we left and happy when we picked her up. We were nervous at first because it was her first time at a strangers house with other dogs but she did great and got along perfectly fine. I was kept up to date with pictures and videos Colin sent me and he was very responsive whenever I messaged him. I am very satisfied with his service. Thank you Colin for taking care of my baby.
