Availability

Working from home Monday to Friday allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. I’m home all day, so your pup will never be left alone and will have consistent companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We go on daily walks after work and on weekends my wife and I love spending time outdoors—whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, or visiting a nearby park with Coco. We’re happy to include your pup in our weekend adventures, based on their energy level and comfort. Whether it’s a weekday filled with calm indoor snuggles or a weekend of fresh air and sunshine, your dog will enjoy a balanced, loving, and attentive environment every day they’re with us.

Information Karan & Richa S. would like to know about your pet

Things I’d love to know about your pup: • Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions • Potty routines and cues • How they get along with other dogs • Any quirks, fears, or triggers (e.g. loud noises, bikes, etc.) • Medical needs, allergies, or medications • Crate use (if any) and sleep preferences • Energy level—chill couch potato or zoomie machine? • Favorite toys, treats, or comfort items • Commands they know or are learning • Anything else that helps me love them like you do!

A typical day

I believe in making each day fun and fulfilling for the pets I care for! A typical day would start with a morning walk or some outdoor play, depending on the dog’s energy level and preferences. I love spending time in nature, so I ensure the pets get some fresh air and exercise in the morning. After that, they can enjoy breakfast and some downtime, where they can relax or snuggle up. During the day, I’ll engage in interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek. If the pet enjoys learning, we can even do a short training session to work on basic commands or fun tricks. I make sure they have lots of toys and things to do to keep their minds active. In the afternoon, we’ll take another walk or play outside, depending on the weather. Afterward, it’s time for rest and some quality quiet time. Dinner time is followed by another short walk or some light play before settling in for the night. I tailor each day to fit the pet’s individual needs and preferences, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re with me!

Where Paws Feel at Home🐾🏠💕

Pet care experience

We share our home with our sweet Shih Tzu, Coco, who has truly become my little shadow. As a Senior Credit Counsellor working from home, I’m able to provide constant supervision and a calm, structured environment for your pup. We treat every dog like family. Whether your dog needs snuggles, quiet companionship, or gentle playtime, we tailor our care to their needs. Our home is peaceful and cozy—perfect for pups who prefer a slower pace, one-on-one attention, and a loving, low-stress stay. We’re especially experienced with small breeds and senior dogs, and we’re always mindful of each dog’s comfort, routine, and personality. With Coco as their chill little host and two caring humans around, your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home.

This was our second time leaving our fur baby with Karan & Richa, and this stay was for a longer period. Since we don’t usually leave him with sitters, we were a little nervous about how he would adjust but we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Karan & Richa took exceptional care of him and made sure he felt comfortable and safe the entire time. It was clear that he truly settled in and made himself at home with them, which speaks volumes about their warmth and professionalism. We’re so grateful for the care they provided and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Karan & Richa again whenever we need trusted sitters.

Karan and Richa truly are so kind and amazing! My dog was feeling a little unwell at the start of her stay and had an accident while with them and they handled it so graciously. I felt so reassured that she was taken well taken care of, no matter what! Thank you so much as always :)

Karan and Richa have been absolutely wonderful dog sitters for Winnie. They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring—you can immediately tell how much they truly love dogs. Winnie felt so comfortable with them right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. They also have the sweetest dog, Coco, who was such a great companion and playmate for Winnie. It made the whole experience feel even more like a fun and safe home environment rather than just a place to stay. Karan and Richa are reliable, attentive, and clearly go above and beyond to make sure every dog in their care feels happy and well looked after. I always felt confident that Winnie was in the best hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy, and experienced dog sitters—we feel so lucky to have found them! -Lori Reid-Pyne

As first time dog owners, leaving our sweet Peach behind for 1 week was tough. Within minutes of meeting Karan and Richa, we knew Peach was going to be well taken care of. Upon drop off, immediately, Karan made Peach feel safe and loved. We got multiple daily updates, videos and photos. Our vacation was truly relaxing because we knew that Peach was 100% taken care of. Not only did we know Peach was loving them but they were truly loving Peach! We will always consider them when we have future trips where we cannot take our dog. They are truly wonderful people and we could not have been more grateful that we found them on Rover!
