Pet care experience
Protected, Loved, and Enriched!
Hi, I’m Girishma! I recently moved from Chester County, Pennsylvania to Dunwoody, Georgia, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years. As a dog owner myself, I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pup with someone new. I’m definitely an anxious dog mom, so I understand the importance of finding someone you trust. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether you’re traveling, busy with work, or just need a helping hand, I’ll care for your pup like they’re my own and keep you updated along the way. I work full-time in HR with a flexible in-office/hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me reading fantasy novels, exploring local restaurants, hunting for treasures at flea markets, or spending time outdoors with friends and their dogs. I’d love the chance to get to know you and your pup! – Girishma

Ratings and reviews
My husband & I have booked Girishma (G) multiple times and at this point she is our preferred sitter/walker, as in there is no one else we're looking to book! That should explain how wonderful she is at what she does but in case it doesn't please keep reading. Our two pups are not quite ‘pups’ any more and are actually over the age of 10. They move a bit slower nowadays and have some issues we keep a close watch on. Having them wth G is just about the same as them being with us. This is the type of care and attention she applies to dogs that are in her trusted care - she ensure every direction was followed exactly as we outlined and even sought to go above and beyond for their comfort, and ours. We’ve often dropped our dogs off at boarding facilities previously and received many pictures of them active and happy. This is great, but G’s updates showed us the realistic range of our dog’s temperament, especially at their age. There were playful photos but also many where they were relaxed and comfortable. We never had to guess if they were getting enough rest, being overexerted, or if they’d had a chance to hang out at the park or play for the day. She quickly learned our dogs personalities and adapted her care to them. In emergencies, G makes her best effort to accommodate in impossible situations. No-one ever travels across open water wishing to get stuck in the country they’re in—it’s never happened to us previously, but did happen while they were in G’s care. She made every best effort to continue to care for our dogs and give us a realistic solution until we could figure out alternative arrangements and return home. Having never been in that predicament, we continue to be incredibly grateful for G’s pragmatism and genuine heart for what she does…which brings me to who she is. Even in the few months that we’ve gotten to know her, we can attest to her genuine love and enjoyment for dogs. For her, it’s more than just another booking, she takes care of your dogs (whether it’s a walk or longer booking) as if they are her own. I don’t know any dog owner who drops their dog off and doesn’t hope they’ll receive the same love and attention that they would from you if you could be there. [For the humans that’ll interact with G lol] Overall, G is kind, considerate, and also incredibly friendly which makes checkin/checkout and overall communication with her a breeze. If you’re looking for someone that doesn’t just have “availability” but is also the type of person who you can trust to care for your dog in your absence, Girishma is your person.

Girishma took wonderful care of our pups and our home! Cannot recommend enough!


Grish did a great job. Clearly she care for a dogs. She left our home cleaned up and neat.


I would have given Grish 10 stars if available! She did such a wonderful job watching our two Doodles. Reliable, honest and a true animal lover. She sent me pictures everyday! I felt very good knowing my dogs were well taken care of in my home. Thank you Grish!
Excellent and friendly environment. Chester loves the stay and Taara’s Company.

Schedule
My Routine: I aim to follow your structure as diligently as possible to create an stress-free experience for your dog. I have the ability to take half-days in the office and can spend the rest of the day working from home if that’s what your dog needs. My schedule is flexible, just let me know what you need and I will let you know if I can accommodate.
