Pet-loving professional

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm an absolute animal-lover, and have cared extensively for animals with hundreds of hours of experience. I’ve helped formally train a puppy, and have also lived with “problem pups”. Since I do not own a dog at the moment, you can rest assured that your pet will have my full love and attention. I'm great with small and large dogs alike, and usually can tire them out before they tire me. Excellent with positively reinforcing commands and adjusting my style based on their needs. Have worked with problem pups before who dislike other dogs or vehicles, as long as instructions are given beforehand.

Gaurav is a very nice Young Man, and very educated and caring, he wrote me several times to let me know how Cicy and Tafy were doing, and also send me pictures. I was very happy and peaceful knowing they were so well taken care of by Gaurav.

Guarav did a great job and sent plenty of updates. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. I would definitely book with Guarav again!

Bones had a great time with Gaurav! He kept me updated the whole time with pictures and videos and was flexible with pickup/drop off! Will definitely be using Gaurav anytime I need my puppy to be watched!

Gaurav was great. Very attentive to our dog and cat, checked in with pictures and updates everyday while we were gone, couldn’t ask for more! As an added bonus, he sang songs and played piano for them, while they attentively sat and listened! Highly recommended for overnight stays, walks or day sits. 5+ ⭐️

Information Gaurav S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog isn't dog/people/skateboard friendly. I have experience with these kinds of dogs, and am extra alert during walks to avoid confrontation.

A typical day

I live very actively, and love running and playing tug/wrestle with size-appropriate dogs. I live close to parks, and can go to the dog park if the dog will do well with others. I can, and have, played fetch for hours...I guarantee your pup will sleeping sound after hanging out with me.
