Your Trusted Full-Time Pet Sitter

My name is Nurana, and I'm a dedicated pet sitter with over seven years of experience. I grew up with various pets and developed a deep love for animals. While I don't have a pet of my own, I find joy in caring for dogs and cats of different breeds. I left my social work job in 2022 to pursue pet sitting full-time, and I also offer traveling pet sitting services. If you're looking for a reliable and caring sitter, I'm here to help!

Nurana took great care of Dolly. She was kind and caring and shared plenty of updates with us. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a responsible sitter for their pups.

Nurana was amazing with my pup. She would send me multiple daily updates along with pictures and videos. She made sure to schedule her calendar so that she could give my pup all the attention he needed. I will definitely think of her the next time I need someone to look after him.

We are so grateful we found Nurana to care for our senior boxer while we went to visit family for Thanksgiving! She provided updates, including pictures, multiple times/day while we were away. Our minds were completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands & that Nurana was enjoying her time with her. We would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!

Nurana did an excellent job with my big boy Ace. She provided daily updates, photos and videos! Ace seemed to be very happy with his stay as well. I look forward to using Nurana again in the future!

Nurana was absolutely amazing! From the moment we connected, I could tell she was warm, attentive, and incredibly responsible. She treated our fur baby, Benji, like her own—sending us the cutest photo updates that truly captured his joy. She went above and beyond, taking Benji on fun little adventures like berry picking and even to a local farmers market. It made my heart so happy to see him so loved and cared for. Honestly, I think he had such a great time that he didn’t want to come back home! It’s not easy leaving your pet with someone new, but Nurana’s calm and loving energy made it feel completely natural. Benji adored her—and I could see that the feeling was mutual. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend Nurana if you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly special. She’s a gem!

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time job, so your pets get plenty of attention. I tailor walks to each dog's schedule, and for non-reactive dogs, I offer trips to the dog park, neighborhood meet-ups, or hikes for high-energy pups. My schedule revolves around their needs, ensuring a fulfilling and nurturing environment.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet sitter, I adapt to both in-home and client’s home settings. At my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment and stick to their schedule. In clients’ homes, I ensure consistency by following routines, providing companionship, and maintaining a safe space.

A typical day

I keep pets happy with fun activities like play sessions, walks, dog park visits, hikes, neighborhood meet-ups, day trips, and plenty of cuddles. I tailor everything to their preferences and energy levels, ensuring a perfect mix of play and relaxation.

Pet Behavior Questionnaire: 1. Does your dog/cat scratch or chew on things at home? 2. Does your dog/cat show any aggressive behavior towards people or other pets? 3. Does your dog/cat sleep with you? 4. Does your dog bark constantly? 5. Does your dog/cat have separation anxiety? 6. Is your dog fully housebroken? **Boarding & Daycare Rules** - **Building Access:** I don’t use the main entrance when I have a dog due to reactive dogs in the building. Instead, I use the back door, and you’ll receive the address once you book with me. There is street parking available right in front of the back door. - **Meet & Greet:** I request to have a meet & greet before booking to get to know your dog better and ensure a good fit. I usually do these at the park next to my building, but I can meet anywhere within a 30-minute metro-accessible commute if that’s more convenient. - **Cats:** If you’re booking for a cat, a meet & greet isn’t necessary unless you request it. I’m also open to phone or video calls. - **Multiple Dogs:** I can host up to 3 dogs if they’re all dog-friendly. I’ll ask for your permission before accepting another booking. - **Sleeping Arrangements:** I don’t allow dogs to sleep in my bed, but I’m happy to make a space for them to sleep in their own bed or crate in my bedroom. - **Drop-off/Pick-up:** Please let me know your estimated time of arrival when dropping off your pet. If you’re running late, give me a heads-up to help me maintain my schedule. - **Assistance:** If you need help with drop-off or pick-up, my partner can assist for an additional fee, depending on his schedule and the distance. - **Separation Anxiety:** I’m unable to host dogs with severe separation anxiety who cannot stay home alone, even for a short period. Dogs must be comfortable being left alone for at least 4-5 hours in case I need to leave home. **Boarding Must Haves**: - Food (preferably in ziplock bags) - Treats - Food and water bowls - Any medications - Wet wipes for dog paws - Raincoat for dogs (if it's the rainy season) - Bed or crate for dogs - Litter box and litter for cats **Housesitting Rules** - **Meet & Greet:** I request to have a meet & greet at your home before housesitting. This allows you to give me a tour of your house. - **Cleanliness:** I respect your space and appreciate if you leave a clean house for me. I will leave everything organized and clean before I depart on my last day. - **Separation Anxiety:** I’m unable to housesit for you if you have a dog with severe separation anxiety who cannot stay home alone, even for a short period. Dogs must be comfortable being left alone for at least 4-5 hours in case I need to leave. - **Cameras:** Please inform me if you have any active cameras in your home. I value my privacy and may need to use different rooms if cameras are present. - **Visitors:** Let me know in advance if you’re expecting any visitors, technicians, or your landlord during my stay. **Dog Walking & Drop-in Visits** - Please note that I only provide walking and drop-in services in easily accessible areas, preferably in neighborhoods that are walkable.
