Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog is my dog! I mean it :)
I know it doesn't feel great to leave your pet(s) with a sitter. I have gone through those emotions myself. But to have a sitter in your network whom you can trust without second thoughts makes life so easy and stress-free. That's exactly the kind of promise I deliver to my clients since I had been in their shoes. And many of them have become my recurring clients instantly. Some of them even complain that their dog(s) feel happier with me than them :) Because that's the kind of affection (sometimes pampering) I and my wife show towards dogs. About me: I moved to Canada from India 2 years ago. While in India, I have cared for my dog and board friends' dogs whenever they were out of town. My wife Kiran shares the same love and compassion that I have for dogs (she's got a full-time job in downtown, but supports me whenever she can). I have being pet-sitting for an year now, I am also pursuing a certification course for a professional Dog Trainer as a new mid-life career this coming summer
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gursharan was fantastic. He made dropping our two dogs off easy and was very friendly. He was flexible with the pick up times and took the dogs for a walk right away at drop off. We arrived 45 mins early for pick up and he was out walking the dogs in the field across from his home. It was great that they got out with him for a few walks and we were able to go tour downtown Ottawa. Thank you Gursharan for looking after our two pups.
Gursharan was very accommodating with our requests of changing timing/days and then popping in on the dogs for a visit.
They were really nice and took care of Bojji for five days. I felt comfortable knowing he was with them. They sent me some pictures and even gave him a bath after he got dirty playing.
Good dog sitter… your pup will definitely have lots of company!
Bingo had a pleasant stay with Gursharan. Bingo made a new friend with another Golden Retriever. Gursharan was kind enough to take Bingo out for a walk and play in the snow. He also sent a pic. and was easy to reach and communication was easy. Bingo returned happy. Will definitely contact Gursharan if I am returning to the area.
Gursharan was an amazing host to Rio and Aura. He and his family took amazing care of both our pups, even going to the extent of trying different foods apart from what we had peovided when one of them was not eating. We will definitely reach out to Gursharan the next time we need to board our pups.

Schedule
I work as a solo stock market trader from my home. I can choose my hours to work which allows me to be flexible in terms of dedicating my time for caring for the pets boarded with me. Be assured your pets will be my foremost priority.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 5 bedroom house, so there is plenty of space. It's a new house so the backyard is not fenced yet (planning to do that this summer). The big park right next to my house means as much outdoor time for the dog as it wants. The dog will not be leashed at all unless the client asks me to do it.
A typical day
Take dog(s) to the park right next to my house for a walk in the morning, play with them in the yard. I can happily go for longer walks (4-6km) if the dog needs more walking/exercise. My schedule is generally super-flexible. Clients can be assured that any special needs can also be accommodated easily without fuss.

- If possible I'd need a detailed download from the client about their pet's behavior and needs. I will meet all the requirements that sound reasonable, and even try to meet the unreasonable ones too.
