Looking for Animal Therapy!

Pet care experience

I am a medical student at the University of Miami living in Edgewater. I have my Ph.D. in cell biology. I foster senior rescues. I am in between fosters at the moment, so I have no dog currently in my home. Animal therapy keeps me sane while studying. I would be happy to check on your pets in your home or board. I specialize in senior care, but all pets are welcome! I take only one dog at a time, so your pup will get special attention. My friends love when I pet sit for them because of all the photos and videos I send. My clients get updates so they can rest assured their pets are well cared for and happy. I’m happy to meet your pet before we make arrangements. Thank you for supporting an aspiring doctor with a disability 💞

I've known Hema for years and I witnessed how she cared for her senior dog when he was struggling in his final years. She handled him with so much love and patience, showing me exactly the kind of person she is with animals.   I completely trust Hema with my energetic 8-year-old Bella. Bella gets so pumped when Hema comes over. Bella adores her.   It's such a relief knowing I can count on Hema. I don’t worry because I know Bella will get tons of love and attention. Hema treats every dog like they're her own, and that kind of genuine care is hard to find.

This is the first time I’ve let anyone outside of our family watch our baby Ace and I feel so lucky to have found Hema. From the initial meetup, to check-ins during his stay and a sweet video from pick up she has been patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I felt very safe leaving Ace in her hands and will definitely return!

Hema has been dog sitting for me for almost two years. She is my first choice when I’m away. I can tell how much my senior dog loves staying with her. She sends lots of updates and cute pictures. She takes him on walks in her carriage when he gets too tired to walk but wants to be outside. Sometimes he needs medications and Hema has experience with that. I can travel knowing my dog is in good hands.

Hema was incredible! She is friendly, responsive and reliable. The best person to book on Rover in my opinion, and going forward I will only be booking my drop in visits with her. Highly recommend!
