1/2 Medical Student, 1/2 Dogtor

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a 24 year old dog-loving medical student at UCSD on a research year currently. My love for dogs started when I grew up with a Pomeranian at my grandparents house. Since then, it has been further nurtured by dog sitting for many friends and family (even throughout medical school). I hope to have my own dog(s) eventually but given that my future location for residency is unpredictable and yet to be determined, I am happy to take care of other dogs in the meantime! I am an easy going person whose other hobbies include cooking, basketball, and exploring San Diego. I’m happy to work with you and your dog(s) on specific needs and requests. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)!

Nikhil did such a great job with Ollie. Ollie looked forward to each walk with Nikil.

Nikhil took great care of my Chow Chow Gumbo. Nikhil lives right around a large park so my boy got plenty of exercise. Nikhil also sent me video updates throughout the day and gave me plenty peace of mind.

Nikhil was very loving with my maltipoo Eddie. He sent me pictures throughout the day and frequently updated me on his condition. You can tell he loves dogs unconditionally in the way that he interacts with your dog and the way that he both talks about them and to them. Highly recommend him as your go to dog sitter!

Nikhil was wonderful with my Max. I dropped him off for a couple days and had no issues. Max seemed to really enjoy his time with Nikhil and even whined when we had to leave. Would definitely recommend Nikhil to any fellow dog owners.
