Information Garima S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies, medical conditions, or special dietary needs, as well as how they interact with other dogs and people—especially kids or strangers. It's also helpful to know if they experience separation anxiety or respond to specific commands. Sharing their favorite toys, games, or routines can make their stay more comfortable. Additionally, any past behaviors, like chewing or escaping tendencies, will help me create a safe and enjoyable environment for them.

A typical day

I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, so whether they’re energetic and love games of fetch or prefer gentle strolls through the park, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Working from home, I’m always available for extra snuggles, belly rubs, or a calming presence for dogs who just want company. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and feeling like part of the family.

Pet care experience

I grew up learning essential pet care practices: from developing good habits, feeding and walking to understanding each dog’s unique needs, thanks to my father being a veterinarian. I had my own dogs in the past, giving me hands on experience of managing pets with love and care. I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can fully rely on. I work from home, so I can ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved, providing you with peace of mind and your pup with a joyful, comfortable experience.

Thanks Garima for sitting Spud again! I appreciate you bringing me daily updates and pictures. I was super confident during my vacations that my dog was with the right people. Spud will miss you for sure but there will be a next time soon!

Ume had a great time with Garima. She’s a wonderful host, who kept me in the loop the whole time of how my baby was doing when I was away. I’d recommend her to anyone - and she’s on the top of my list whenever I need someone to take care of Ume.

Garima did a wonderful job taking care of Snoopy. She was very communicative, caring, and clearly loves dogs. I really appreciated the updates and photos during the stay. Snoopy came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.
