Pet care experience

Your Trusted Pet Sitter @thedogstel

I have a wealth of experience in pet care, having lovingly cared for dogs and cats. With years of hands-on pet care experience, I'm committed to providing the best care and attention to your beloved pets. I have experience in caring for new born puppies, kittens, teen phases, adults and senior pets. Having cared for dogs for a long time and through my own research, I understand the various behaviours and personalities of pets, and quite comfortable around them. I would love to provide the best care for your pet when you are away by prioritising engagement and activity time. I will go extra mile to make sure your baby has a good time with me and feels comfortable, providing daily photos and video updates.

Nikhil was wonderful! He took excellent care of our senior dog and made sure she got plenty of walks and attention while we were away. He was great about sending photo updates and keeping us informed, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with Nikhil again and highly recommend him to others.

This was our third time having Nikhil care for our dog Maddie, when we were on a short, 2-day trip. Nikhil absolutely loves animals, and Maddie gets so excited to see him. Nikhil sends updates and photos, and has excellent communication skills. He is polite, friendly and caring. We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter, and Maddie looks forward to her next stay with him.

Roxie thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Nikhil. As pet parents, we especially appreciated the flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Nikhil was accommodating and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We would definitely book with him again in the future.

Jharna and Nikhil, took such good care of Neo. They took him on plenty of walks and tired him out. I got so many updates everyday about my dog and they treated Neo like their own. Neo was so excited to stay over at their place, it was like his own vacation. They are definitely our first pick! Thank you guys so much

Safety, trust & environment

Providing only dog walking and in home service as of now. Can help with grooming, feeding, and engage in playtime and exercise activities. Also willing to pet sit including overnight stays.

A typical day

I always start the day early morning (6-7am) with a good walk in the neighbourhood. There are alot of parks near my place that would provide the best environment for your pet to explore the nature. I make sure to engage with them throughtout the day by engaging in playtime activities and giving pets. Then in the evening we make sure to take them out for another walk.

While I have a good understanding of various quirks that a pet might have, I would make sure they are respected in the manner the owner desires. Please let me know beforehand of anything that your pet prefers or doesn't. I would also prefer to know if you are dog is social with human/other dogs or not and if they have any allergies.
