Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate Pet Care Pro
With over two decades of hands-on animal experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health needs, and the importance of maintaining their routine while you're away. My experience includes: Behavioral observation: Skilled at reading animal body language and recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort Medication administration: Comfortable giving pills, liquid medications, and following specific health protocols Routine maintenance: Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing the consistency pets need Emergency awareness: Trained to recognize when situations require immediate veterinary attention Gentle handling: Patient approach with anxious, elderly, or special-needs pets What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animal welfare combined with practical experience in rehabilitation and long-term care. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of attention and care I'd want for my own pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress environment, whether caring for pets in my home or others. In client homes: I maintain pets' established routines to minimize anxiety and provide consistency Secure all doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes Follow all specific instructions regarding food, medications, and behavioral needs Provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep owners informed Respect the home environment and leave it exactly as I found it Safety protocols: Always have emergency veterinary contact information readily available Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health Ensure all pets are properly secured during transitions (leashes, carriers, etc.) My 23 years of experience have taught me that prevention is key. I'm constantly aware of potential risks and take proactive steps to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Trust is earned through consistent, reliable care and clear communication with pet parents.
Ratings and reviews
India is amazing! Great communication and responsive to a last minute request. I needed their supplies refreshed while I was on a trip and she gave me peace of mind! My cats enjoyed her drop in visit and I would gladly use her again!
Did a wonderful job!
Excellent my Bella loved her!
India was great! Very responsive and reliable. My dog loved her and she was great at sending pics and thorough updates!
India is great with animals! She has rescued numerous cats over the years and even a few dogs. India is good at working with various different pet personalities, especially shy animals as she is gentle, patient, and kind. I highly recommend India as a pet caregiver!
I've known India all her life and she has always been the most loving, caring person when it comes to animals of all sorts. She has taken in, rehabilitated, and cared for dozens of cats and kittens over the years. Since she was 8 years old. I'm not much of an animal person, but am always awed by how much India cares for her animal companions. She would make for a great caregiver for your furry friend too!
