Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs, routine, and personality so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home: Dogs stay in a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow your dog’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. They will have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, along with a cozy indoor space to relax. I can also accommodate crate training and any specific routines your dog is used to. In your home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and playtime. In all cases, I provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

Information Gargi R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s daily routine, including feeding schedule, walks, sleep habits, and any preferences they have. It’s also really helpful to understand any triggers, such as certain noises, other animals, or situations that may cause stress, so I can make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I love keeping pets both mentally and physically engaged! I have a variety of puzzle toys to provide enrichment and keep them stimulated. For dogs who enjoy being active, I’m happy to take them on long walks and spend time playing fetch in the yard. I also enjoy working on basic training and fun tricks, depending on your dog’s interests and energy level. Whether your pet prefers playtime, learning, or just relaxing with company, I tailor activities to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and having fun.

Treat Your Dog Like My Own

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with a Lab, which shaped my early understanding of dog behavior and care. As an adult, I raised my own dog, Juniper, from a puppy. She’s a rescue, and working with her has given me hands-on experience with training, routines, and daily care. I also regularly foster dogs through various Seattle area rescues, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments. Because my own dog can be fearful at first, I understand the importance of moving at each dog’s pace, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Juniper is friendly and does great with foster dogs, and my older cat tends to keep to himself when we have other pets or guests over. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t be left alone for more than three hours. I also have a crate available if that’s part of your dog’s routine. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, providing a safe and peaceful space for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I treat every dog like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and thoughtful care while you’re away.

Gargi was wonderful. She responded promptly and came to do a meet and greet right away. She was great with our dog and she gave us thorough updates each visit! Would definitely reach out to her again.
