I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my schedule. I’m home and flexible throughout the day, which allows me to keep pets on their normal routine and give them plenty of attention. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or an extended stay at your home, I make sure each pet gets calm, consistent care and companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and keeping their environment calm and comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications or special needs and make sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime while you’re away. I treat each home with the same respect I’d want for my own, and I always make sure everything is tidy and secure before I leave. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed until you’re back home.

Information Lahari V. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful to know each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort needs before we get started. I like to understand their energy level, favorite activities, and any habits or sensitivities like how they feel about new people, other dogs, or certain noises. Please also share any medical needs, allergies, or medications, along with their feeding schedule and daily rhythm. Even small details, like their favorite toy or where they like to nap, help me make their time with me feel familiar and stress free. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, safe, and cared for just the way you would.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, that might mean longer walks, playtime in the yard, or exploring nearby trails. For more laid-back pets, I focus on gentle walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. I love mixing in a little training reinforcement or enrichment games to keep them happy, engaged, and relaxed while you’re away.

WFH Pet Sitter–Reliable & Attentive

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I started my first little pet-sitting business back in high school and quickly realized how much I love being around animals. Since then, caring for dogs has always been a constant part of my life. I have an 8yr old dog of my own who’s very sweet but also reactive, so I understand how important patience, structure, and trust are . Especially for pets who need a little extra understanding. That experience has made me very mindful of each animal’s unique personality and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from excitable puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I often help out neighbors and friends when they travel. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, where I learned how to connect with dogs of all sizes, backgrounds, and temperaments. I approach every pet with the same care and attention I give my own, creating a calm, consistent environment and making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or an extended stay, I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels right at home.

Lahari is the sweetest and most reliable person to care for your pets. She’s super attentive and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I always trust her with my pets, and she treats them like her own. Highly recommend!

Lahari is a wonderful handler and trainer. I have seen her work with fearful as well as reactive dogs and be so patient with them. She is also very responsive and is more than willing to take photos of my pet which helps me feel more reassured that my baby is doing well. You cannot go wrong with working with Lahari.
