Highlights
Pet care experience
Nurturing and loving dog aunt!
My name is Ghazal (like a puzzle with a G!) and I offer day care, boarding, and walking services. 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. Whether it's a one-time stay or a regular weekly walk/daycare schedule, I'm happy to build a routine your dog can count on. My goals are that your pet should be safe, comfortable, and happy. I've sat 20+ 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.

Ratings and reviews
Ghazal was amazing! She took on our two little friends with almost no notice and took exceptional care of them! We would not hesitate to leave our babies with her again!
Ghazal is super professional and can tell she takes care of dogs with love and care! Tofu came home happy and tired so I know he had a great day! Would definitely book again!
We loved our experience with Ghazal! She took great care of Monster and he warmed up quickly to her! She sent us loads of pictures and updates of Monster on a daily basis. Ghazal also helped Monster with his fear of elevators. In addition, she was very flexible and accommodating when we were trying to schedule a time, and really worked to keep Monster on his normal schedule. Pickup and dropoff was a breeze. Very punctual. Would highly recommend her, and will be looking for another opportunity to book her to watch Monster.
Ghazal took wonderful care of our little girl for several weeks. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, and our pup always looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again—thank you, Ghazal!
Ghazal was very communicative and lovely! She took great care of my dog Lenny & I know he had the best time with her :-) 10/10 would book again
Ghazal was very understanding and flexible with hosting Hugo. I rarely leave him overnight and Ghazal took extra measures to make Hugo comfortable at night - she slept in the living room with him to make sure he felt safe in a new place. I appreciated the night and morning updates, it helped me know that Hugo was happy. She stuck to his food and walk routine. She truly treated him like her own pet.

Schedule
I currently work from home so there is plenty of flexibility in my 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 other pets and 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.
