Pet care experience
Individual Care, Unlimited Love
My name is Rani (Harinder), and animals have been a part of my life from the very beginning — I was raised on a farm surrounded by dogs, chickens, goats, and cows, and I’ve had dogs of my own ever since. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a gentler touch. For 36 years, while working at Hudson’s Bay, I also offered dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and clients. Now retired, I provide full-time, personalized care — treating every pet as if they were my own. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe play, and I have extensive experience with cats, small and medium-sized dogs, puppies, and senior pets. Most recently, I cared for my beloved Pomeranian for 10 years until her passing — an experience that deepened my compassion and understanding of the bond we share with our pets. Some of my regular clients include Bichons, Himalayan cats, and French Bulldogs. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be cared for with love, patience, and years of experience — just like family.

Ratings and reviews
We couldn't be happier with the care our puppy received from Harinder! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in kind and loving hands. She settled in so comfortably — it truly felt like a home away from home for her. What we especially appreciated were the regular photo updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. We came back to a content, relaxed pup, which says everything. We highly recommend Harinder to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals. We'll absolutely be returning!
I recommend her! She provided regular pdates and we smiled when I got them, also after a long travel day she was organized and ready for me to make the pick up quick and easy. Thank you! Taz will see you again.😃
Jazz was so well taken care of and came home so happy. Thank you for caring for our little pup while we were away.
Rani took amazing care of our puppy, I can’t imagine having left our dog with anyone else. It is clear she just loves animals and she is an exceptional care taker. Rani was very accommodating when our flight was delayed for our return and sent great updates through out the week. Thank you so much!
Harinder is AMAZING! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. You can truly see how much she loves animals, and it shows in the way she cares. I’m so happy I found her, she’s been an absolute blessing!
We are more than pleased with Rani taking care of Yogi. She’s very welcoming and an expert with dogs. Yogi felt comfortable right away. That’s a big achievement for Yogi who sometimes can be a little anxious. He also ate when his bowl was filled which means he felt comfortable. He loved playing in the backyard and Rani sent us pictures and texts for updates. We and Yogi are happy we found Rani and looking forward to his next play day 🐾

Schedule
I am retired from Hudson's Bay after 36 years and now provide 24-7 personalized pet sitting and boarding at my residence. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day. I build my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet companionship, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and attended to. Because I’m home most of the time, I can provide consistent one-on-one care and adjust my schedule to match each pet’s needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they get constant attention and love. My yard is fenced in and my home is safe and secure. I make sure they have secure spaces, fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of playtime and walks. Safety and trust are my top priorities, so every pet is cared for as if they were my own.
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of love, play, and routine. We start with morning walks or yard time, followed by meals and some quiet relaxation. Throughout the day, I keep pets engaged with fun games, toys, and one-on-one attention—whether that’s fetch, tug, or simply exploring the yard together. In the evenings, we wind down with calm companionship so every pet feels safe, happy, and at home.
