Proud mom of fur babies <3

Pet care experience

I love all animals with a very special place for dogs in my heart and have been taking care of them( both puppies and seniors) since I was 8. I am are very passionate about pet sitting and I mostly do it for pleasure than business. I absolutely enjoy their company and shower them with lots of love. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and other animals. My grandmother was an animal lover and always used to take care of wounded strays. I grew up under her care and the animal lover in me thank her for instilling empathy towards all living beings in me. I am a volunteer with a few animal rescues and that has been such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Nothing can beat the joy one gets seeing a rescued animal wag his/her tail once they realize they are in safe and loving hands. I am used to taking care of dogs with severe anxiety and also have experience taking care of dogs post surgery. I have two dogs of my own and they are my children and mean the world to me. They are the most sweetest and well behaved dogs and I am so proud of them. I have a 2 year old and he loves his four legged siblings so much and is very gentle with them. I love all the animals in my care as I would my own and try my best to return the unconditional love that they generously shower on us. I always keep multiple water bowls filled. All the treats I give the dogs are high quality and made in the USA. I can teach your furbaby to do tricks(sit, spin, roll over etc) if that is something you would like. I use very tiny pieces of shredded organic chicken as treats for motivating the dogs while training them for the same. If your dog is on a special diet I can also cook for him/her.

Charley had a wonderful stay with Nikhila. This was the longest time he’s ever been away from us and he seemed to settle in to her household easily. Nikhila made sure to provide us daily updates with pictures and videos. We could tell he felt like part of her household in the pictures and videos. He also got plenty of exercise and attention in her care. We were very pleased with Charley’s stay with Nikhila.

Nikhila was wonderful with my dog Tigger. She was very loving towards him and she kept us informed throughout our trip. Felt such a relief that I found a good person to care for my fur baby. Would totally recommend her to any pet parents.

Can’t say enough great things about doggy day care with Nikhila. Our dog Mowgli was immediately at ease with her, the first time he met her and is happy to go back. Nikhila sends us videos/pictures updates through the day and Mowgli is happy-tired by the time I pick him up after work. Highly recommended!

A typical day

I love playing games like fetch with my dogs and also the furry friends I host. I have a fenced backyard where they could burn their energy..I take the dogs out for daily walks. We have a beautiful park just 1.1 miles away and walking to the park almost daily is something we love doing as a family.
