Highlights
Pet care experience
Full time dog care for your pets!
My name is Ghazal (pronounced like a puzzle with a G!) and pet sitting is my FT job so your pet will get 100% of my attention. No kennels, no leaving the dog alone for hours, no unnecessary crating. I live right next to a huge park and love going on long sniff walks (the dogs sniff, I supervise). I can accommodate solo care/boarding - just let me know what you prefer. When I’m caring for pets, I ensure that they are sticking to their routines and that means consistent meal times, walks, and ample cuddles. My goals are that your pet should be safe, comfortable, and happy. I've sat 40+ small to large dogs in my neighborhood, and have also fostered a pup and understand that some dogs need more space, some need more attention - I’m flexible in accommodating that. Clients come back to me because their pups go back home happy, and often run towards me when they see me at their next visit! I share plenty of updates and pictures so you'll always be in the loop on what't your baby has been up to!

Ratings and reviews
Hugo loves going to Ghazal’s place and I can tell he has a really good time there. She gives him lots of cuddles and love and he is very comfortable with her. I get lots of cute pictures and updates. She’s on top of my list whenever I need care for Hugo!
Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!
We were nervous to leave Jack for the first time but Ghazal did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and sending us updates throughout the day! Jack would come home exhausted from his day of playing! Will definitely be booking with her again!
Ghazal is very nice and patient sitter! I am so happy I had her as Biscuit’s first daycare ever! Ghazal updated Biscuit extremely frequently which made me feel so much less worried about him. She took really good care of my baby boy! I will definitely consider her as my regular dog sitter.
Ghazal was great! She was very accommodating of my dog’s needs, considering he is reactive and hasn’t had many experiences sleeping away from home. I received consistent updates and pictures. I’ll be rebooking with her in the future :)
First time I left my dog with Ghazal for daycare. Sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Grace came back happy. Had a good vibe. :)

Schedule
I like to understand the pet's routine and do my best to minimize disruptions - that means helping them adhere to their walk, food, and rest times. I love playing with dogs so I prioritize that time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is well maintained and clean, pets will have full access to the large open concept living room & kitchen - this is where I spend majority of my waking hours as well. No kids in the house so your dog will have a lot of quiet, peaceful time. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with lots of green spaces. Lots of opportunities to go on nice walks and socialize with other dogs. I think of dog walks as "their time" so they get ample time to explore and sniff. In client's home, I like to follow the systems set up by the client. That includes going on walk routes that the pet prefers, socializing them with the same friends - the goal being minimal schedule and structure disruption.
A typical day
Physical activities would includes playing fetch, tug, going on long & explorative walks - letting the dog sniff everything without rushing them! I have a set of dog toys that any dog is welcome to play with. I also like to give them mental stimulation with simple tricks like hiding treats in a blanket and having them figure it out.
