Safety, trust & environment

I’ve lived in Philly for 7 years and know the area very well. Safety is a top priority for me. I will ensure the upmost safety of your pet, whether on a walk or in the home. I have a fenced in outdoor space perfect for quick potty breaks, playing fetch, or just lounging.

Information Dharma G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything I need to know to better take care of your pet! As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it can be to let someone else care for them. I am more than happy to accommodate you and your pet’s needs to ensure that you feel confident when your pet is in my care. I have a rescue who has anxiety, so I am well-versed on caring for anxious dogs and creating a comfortable environment for them.

A typical day

Depending on the pet I am watching and their needs, a fun day with them can greatly vary. Whether your pet prefers to snooze on the couch, or play outside, rest assured your pet will have a fun day!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have experience with all ages and breeds, including puppies and seniors. I worked at a dog daycare in college, and cared for a variety of temperaments, ages, and sizes. Through this, I also learned a lot about caring for dogs and how to handle any problems that could arise. I have been pet sitting in my home for about 4 years. In addition, I have a rescue dog named Clover from Puerto Rico. She deals with anxiety, so I am well-versed in anxious behavior and how to manage it! Lastly, we recently adopted Ginger, our Cavapoo puppy, so I am experienced in working with puppies and their needs. At this time, I can accommodate walks and drop ins.
