Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Cozy, and Loved - Every Stay.
I grew up with dogs, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets the same patience and affection I give my own. Providing safe, reliable, and loving care is something that comes naturally to me.

Ratings and reviews
Nitharshan was an amazing dog sitter and took really good care of our dog. We left our dog Blu with him for around 25 days and we could not left him in better hands. Nitharshan sent frequent pictures and updates on how blu was doing and kept up with Blu’s usual routine as well.
Nitharshan was amazing! He watched my lil guy, Tomy, for two weeks and Tomy had a blast. Nitharshan communicated well and kept me updated with Tomy; it was a very easy process. I would totally recommend him and will be bringing Tomy back!
Left Phoenix with Nitharshan for 8 days (December 25-Jan 1st. Phoenix came back a happy boy especially him being in the company of other pups. Nitharshan assured me that Phoenix had fun, especially with his Rottweiler Thamby. I will definitely use Nitharshan for my next vacation
We are extremely disappointed with this experience. We had planned a 13-day stay and even brought our dog a day earlier to familiarize him with the environment. We also clearly informed you in advance that he is not neutered. Despite this, we were contacted in less than 24 hours and asked to take our dog back because he was barking. After anxiety medication was sent, we were told he would be taken care of, yet the situation continued. This caused us significant stress, loss of sleep, and peace of mind during our trip. Eventually, we requested that our dog be dropped off at PetSmart boarding instead. They had no complaints about his behavior, and the transition went smoothly, which further highlights our disappointment with how this situation was handled. Any restrictions on the type, age, or behavior of dogs you are willing to care for should have been clearly stated before confirming the stay.

Schedule
As a full-time dog boarder, I follow a consistent weekly routine to ensure every dog receives structure, comfort, and personalized care. Each day starts with a morning potty break and a refreshing walk, followed by breakfast and some calm downtime. Throughout the day, I rotate play sessions, enrichment activities, and supervised outdoor time based on each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. I maintain set times for feeding, grooming touch-ups, and rest breaks to keep dogs relaxed and comfortable. In the afternoons, we enjoy longer walks, training refreshers, or interactive play such as fetch or puzzle toys. Evenings include another walk, dinner, and wind-down time before bed. Weekly, I clean and sanitize all sleeping areas, bowls, toys, and common spaces to keep everything safe and hygienic. I also provide regular updates to owners with photos, videos, and notes on how their dog is doing. My routine balances structure, stimulation, and comfort—creating a warm, stable, home-away-from-home environment for every dog I care for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, spacious, and comfortable environment designed specifically for dogs. My home features a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of secure outdoor space to run, explore, and play throughout the day. Inside, I have a dedicated entire floor with over 1,000 square feet of open space just for the pets. This allows them to relax, play, and move around freely without feeling confined. I maintain a clean, calming, and supervised setting at all times. Dogs enjoy scheduled walks, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and quiet rest periods. I tailor the level of activity and care to each dog’s personality, age, and comfort level. I also provide fresh water, cozy bedding, and a safe, pet-friendly environment where they can feel at home. My goal is to make every dog’s stay comfortable, fun, and stress-free—just like staying with family.
