Pet care is woven into the fabric of my weekly routine, creating a comforting and stable environment for our furry friends. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, my on-site work keeps me occupied until 5 PM, but once I return, my sole focus is on ensuring the happiness and comfort of the pets in my care. During the rest of the week, from Friday through Monday, I am home, ready to offer companionship, play, walks, and timely meals, aligning with their unique schedules. This heartfelt commitment guarantees a warm and nurturing atmosphere for the pets entrusted to me.

Information Diksha A. would like to know about your pet

Creating a safe and loving haven for your beloved pet is my top priority. I'm dedicated to understanding and meeting their individual needs. Feel free to share any preferences, routines, or special requirements your pet has, so I can adapt and provide a tailored and nurturing environment. Open communication is key, ensuring that your furry family member feels comfortable, happy, and truly at home under my care.

A typical day

Living near a snow park and lake, I'm thrilled to take your dog on walks and runs, let them mingle with other dogs, and enjoy cozy cuddles on my comfy couch. We can be binge-watch buddies, and my place is perfect for long, peaceful naps. Your pet will be treated with love and care, making sure they feel right at home.

Hi! I’m Diksha, I live for doggos!

Pet care experience

I've grown up surrounded by dogs and currently have three back home. Since moving out, I've been babysitting my friends' cat and dog, dealing with separation anxiety. Living with an old Labrador has given me valuable insights into senior pet care. I'm eager to share my love and expertise on Rover, providing attentive care for babies of all ages and temperaments.

Diksha always takes incredible care of Rosie, is super communicative, and all around lovely to work with. Rosie loves staying with her and hates to leave! Thank you, Diksha, we’ll be back again!

Diksha took wonderful care of my pup Howard! She was communicative, flexible when I was a bit later than expected getting in from a camping trip, and clearly just loves caring for dogs. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a dogsitter!
