Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat and dog of my own and used to foster active young pets, so I am used to being careful going in and out of the house. If there are other animals in your home, I will ensure the safety of all pets while I take your dog for a walk.

Information Nithya M. would like to know about your pet

None - I welcome pets of all kinds and ages. If your dog requires medication, please let me know the dosage and I can administer it for you.

A typical day

For dog walks, I will spend the full 30 minutes giving your dog the best walk of their life! I can lift up to 50 lbs so if your dog has an injury, I can carry them if needed. If there are certain routes or parks you'd like me to go to, I am flexible and have a roomy car so can go wherever your dog is comfortable! For drop-ins, cats can enjoy chasing after yarn as I pull it across the hallways, hunting and chewing on cat toys and fun cuddle sessions if they wish for it. If you don't have many toys at home, I am willing to bring some on my visits!

Reliable and stress-free pet care

Pet care experience

I’m an experienced pet sitter for both cats and dogs! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels through both Rover and rescue work. I fostered cats for about a decade, including those suffering from asthma and allergies, kittens, and pregnant and nursing cats. On the dog side, I’ve handled walks, drop-ins, and boarding for pups big and small! I'm experienced in dealing with extremely active kittens, but I'm just as happy keeping calmer pets company for some quiet cuddle or lounge time. I also have experience administering medication if needed. I work a 9-5 job, but work from home a few days a week so depending on the day, can be available for quick drop-ins during the day. Always accepting new furry friends!

Nithya took such great care of Winston! I got multiple pictures a day so I could watch as my anxious little guy opened up and got more comfortable in a new space. I will definitely be sending Winston back when I need a sitter!

Nithya is amazing! Super easy to coordinate with and sent detailed updates during every drop-in visit. Would absolutely have her check on my cat again.

I highly recommend Nithya for dog walking services. She is friendly, has a great attitude, and is very skilled at handling dogs. My dog, Yumi, came home tired and happy after her walk. So I'm grateful to have found her.
