Pet care experience
* I am fully vaccinated and only able to offer my services to fully vaccinated clients at this time. Please understand. Thank you! * I work 7-8 hour shifts every now and then at the animal shelter. Please consider this before putting in a request! Thank you. Hello! My love for dogs started when I met Rocky, a beautiful German Shepherd. His name was my first word and I am thankful that I had him as my companion. I wasn't able to have dogs as a child, so when I grew older I started volunteering at dog rescues (HART, VGSR and NGPR) and worked at a doggy daycare. I loved building relationships with all of the dogs there and their comfort, safety, and happiness was very important to me. I have worked at an animal hospital where I was able to medically assist dogs and cats and I worked at an animal shelter. It's very rewarding and I loved my job. YES, I’ve worked with tons of cats as well so I’m familiar with taking care of them! At the hospital, shelter and Rover too. I have a farm about an hour away where I rescued and raised my dogs. They're the polar bears in my gallery (Great Pyrenees. The other pictures are from dogs I’ve taken care of!). They love guarding the farm and thrive in that environment. I have experience with all dogs: all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I've handled and calmed down nervous/scared dogs at work. I've trained myself to look for behavior signs in dogs to make sure I can accommodate them as best as possible. I've handled three-legged dogs, dogs who need medication, etc. I believe this part is very important because it means very much to me. I am a Pitbull advocate. I love Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, etc. Basically every breed that unfortunately has a bad reputation, I shower with love. I'm someone who will see a Bull Mastiff and immediately ask permission from the owner if I can pet them. This doesn't mean I don't like small-medium sized dogs. I loved sitting down at the doggy daycare and watching Chihuahuas and Yorkies jump on my lap. I just feel strongly about misrepresented breeds. EVERY dog deserves love and care because every dog is a gift to this world.
Reviews
Our puppy is always excited to spend time with you!! Thank you for being dependable and so caring of Ellie!
Kiran provided exceptional service. She was prompt for our meet & greet and asked thoughtful questions. She was flexible when we accidentally locked an access door and waited for a locksmith. She gave frequent, detailed updates with pictures. We could see from the photos and the dogs’ behavior when we got home that they were happy and comfortable throughout. We would love to book her again!
As always Kiran was amazing!!! She loves on Ellie like she is her own every time she watches her ❤️
Amazing photos and very detailed updates!

I care for your pet as if they were my own. There is a reason I’ve worked at a dog daycare, animal hospital and the animal shelter: I love animals. I love spending time with dogs and I know how important it is for an owner to trust someone else to take care of their pet. I have been taking care of other peoples dogs since I was 10 because I couldn’t have any of my own, and now I’m 23 and my passion for that is still growing.
Information Kiran Y. would like to know about your pet
I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me their likes/dislikes and general things like that. If they're afraid of other dogs, cars, etc so I know what to look out for during our walks. I know how to handle dogs who are uncomfortable being around other dogs so that is no problem.
A typical day
I won't rush your dog during our walk. I love seeing dogs be curious and I love watching them enjoy the weather. We'll play chasing games or run together (if they are able to). It's very important to me that I form a special, trusting bond with both you and your pup. I send updates of what we're doing and pictures too :) It is extremely important for me to make sure your dog is happy! I love spending time with any and every dog so making sure they're taken care of is a huge priority of mine.

*** Please double check my rates before you put in your request. I’d love to learn about your routine and schedule with your pup and so that when I care for them, they’ll feel more comfortable knowing I’m sticking to their routine.
