Your Trusted Full-Time Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Nurana, and I am an experienced, and dedicated pet sitter with a passion for taking care of animals. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and fun-loving to care for your beloved pets, then you've come to the right place! Growing up in a family home filled with dogs, birds, and turtles, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals from an early age. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, pet sitting has become a fulfilling way for me to channel my affection and provide care to dogs/cats of different breeds. With over seven years of experience as a pet sitter, I initially began this journey by taking care of my friends' pets. I found immense joy and satisfaction in ensuring their pets were happy, healthy, and well-taken care of while their owners were away. In 2022, I left my social work job to pursue full-time pet sitting, which makes me very happy. I am also a traveling pet sitter, meaning that I care for pets while on the go, gaining valuable experience in the process.

Second time booking Nurana - could tell by Georgie’s reaction when she arrived that she had a great time and is comfortable with her. Would recommend Nurana if you’re looking for a reliable sitter for your pups!

Our dog felt welcome and cared for with Nurana and her partner. They gave daily updates and photos and communicated well. Thinks well under emergency situations. Unfortunately we all learned a hard lesson that beef flavored medications should be kept out of reach, such as behind a high cupboard door.

Nurana is so great with Kiwi! She is extremely communicative, sends pictures and details about their walk, and is so easy to work with. We will definitely ask her again for help with kiwi!

Nurana recently stayed with our very energetic 9 month old Lab pup, and she was wonderful. She brings such a good combination of sweetness and genuine love for dogs with professionalism and attention to detail. She arrived on time, stuck to the schedule we worked out, and was flexible with a few changes that came about. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone other than family, and she kept our minds at ease by providing lots of updates with pics and videos. She also took great care of the house, and kept everything nice and clean. We would highly recommend Nurana!

Information Nurana D. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have a behavior of scratching/chewing things at home? Does your pet have any type of aggressive behavior towards people and other pets? Does your pet sleep with you? Does your dog bark constantly? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is your dog fully housebroken? ** RULES for BOARDING & DAY CARE ** • Please DON’T enter the lobby of my building. Although guests don’t have an access to the building door, sometimes residents think you live in the building & let you in. Please DON’T enter & wait for me outside. • I DON’T use the main building door when I have a dog due to having reactive dogs at the building. There is a back door that I use & you will get the address once you book me up. • There is a street parking right in front of the back door that you can park at. • I prefer having a meet&greet before booking me up. It helps me to know your dog better & see if it is a right fit. I do my meet&greets at the park next to my building, but if it does not work for you, I can commute anywhere (if it is not more than 30 min commute) that is metro accessible (I don’t own a car). • If you want to book me for your cat, I don’t need a meet&greet unless it is your request. I am open to having a phone chat or video call. • I host up to 3 dogs if they all are dog friendly. I will ask your permission before accepting another request. • Please keep in mind that, I don’t let dogs sleep in my bed. I am more than happy to make a space for them to sleep in their bed/crate at my bedroom with me. • Please let me know your ETA when you are dropping off your pet. If you are running late, please give he a heads up. It will help me to maintain my schedule. • If you can’t drop off/pick up your pet & you need an assistance, my partner can help you with additional cost depending on his schedule & the distance of the commute. ** RULES for HOUSESITTING ** • I prefer having a meet&greet in your place before you book me up for housesitting so that you can do a house tour for me. • I am very respectful when I housesit for my clients & I appreciate if you leave a clean house to me while I stay in your place. I will make everything organized and clean before leaving on my last day. • Please INFORM me if you have any active cameras in your place due to my own PRIVACY. I don’t feel comfortable while you have active cameras, so if you have any cameras in designated areas, let me know & I will use different rooms. • Although I don’t let boarding dog sleep with me in my apartment, I am okay if they want to sleep in bed with me when I housesit for you.

A typical day

I engage pets in a variety of fun activities to ensure an enjoyable experience. This may include interactive play sessions, stimulating toys, refreshing walks, dog park visits, hiking days, daily dog meet-ups in my neighborhood, day trips, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and affection. I tailor activities to each pet's preferences and energy levels, ensuring a mix of play and relaxation to keep them happy and entertained during their time under my care.

Pet care is my full-time job, meaning that your pets will spend a lot of time with me. I provide as many walks as dogs need depending on their schedule. Apart from walks, I take non-reactive dogs to the dog park and daily dog meet-ups in my neighborhood or we go for a hike if a dog has high energy. My schedule revolves around the needs of dogs, guaranteeing a fulfilling and nurturing environment for them while their owners are away.
