Pet care experience

Snuggles, Walks Tail Wags All Day!

I've cared for animals most of my life and truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I had a Golden Retriever for 4 years, and my family has fostered multiple cats over the years, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I have hands-on experience with pet routines, feeding, playtime, crate training, and gentle care for both young and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or following special instructions, I go the extra mile to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home.

Niharika was 10 out of 10 for watching Sydney and Savannah while we were out of the country. She provided us with constant updates and sent lots of pictures and videos. It was so comforting for us to know our dogs were with such a loving family. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 13, 2025

Our first time with niharika and she was amazing. Our dog Houston spent the day with her and came back looking so happy it made us happy. We got videos showing him playing with other dogs. He seemed to have had a blast and was knocked out after getting home. She is super responsive and very friendly

Niharika was beyond wonderful with our two dogs! One of our dogs in particular is very shy, and Niharika and her family were completely patient and willing to do whatever they could do to help her feel more comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Niharika enough and we already have scheduled her again to watch our dogs.

We can’t thank Niharika enough for the incredible care she provided to our beloved cat, Gumball, while we were away in India for 4 weeks. Leaving him behind was one of the hardest decisions, and we were naturally worried in the beginning. But all those concerns quickly faded once we started receiving her daily video updates. Every video was a reminder that Gumball wasn’t just being looked after—he was being loved. From the gentle play sessions to the quiet cuddle moments, it was clear that Niharika had built a genuine bond with him. Honestly, at one point, we even joked whether Gumball would still remember us when we got back! Niharika's warmth, attentiveness, and consistent updates gave us peace of mind during our entire trip. It takes someone truly special to make a pet feel so at home when their family is away—and that’s exactly who Niharika is. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, responsible, and loving pet caregiver. Gumball had a second home with her, and we’re forever grateful. Regards, Joshi Family & Gumball

I've seen firsthand how loving and responsible Niharika is with animals. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending time with them, she treats every dog or cat like family. She's incredibly attentive to their needs and makes sure they're safe, happy, and comfortable at all times. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care for your furry friend and treat them like her own, she’s the perfect person for the job.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals brings me joy and balance. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care during weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, playtime, or giving your cat some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I make it a priority to ensure pets feel calm and cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for cats in their own home, I focus on keeping their environment consistent, calm, and secure. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, or administering medication—so your cat stays comfortable and stress-free. I respect your home, maintain cleanliness, and always double-check doors, windows, and gates to ensure your pet stays safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.
