Pets are family!
Pet care experience
I have always been someone who finds it rewarding to care for others. I have experience with care for all kinds of pets, from farm life to domestic pets. Outside of my services on Rover, I work as a substitute in the school district working with special needs students. I have an abundance of patience, am attentive and pay close attention to non verbal cues. I live with my husband and dog Jasmine. She has always been a very friendly and loving dog. She’s a terrier mix that was rescued by a shelter in Texas. She has done very well with dogs in our home, at daycare, and boarding situations. She plays well, gives space, and does not have any resource guarding. If she needs space she will let me know. I do keep gates in the house if needed. I have experience with cats of all ages too! My beloved Rose was a senior rescue. Before she passed I learned how to give her medications and general senior cat care. I love to get them engaged in play, give lots of pets to your kitties if they like it and if not, happy to respect their space. I’d love to help take care of your pets just like I do with my own. I typically send lots of photos and updates because I know I'd want the same. So feel at ease when you request to book a service with me!
Reviews
Pooja did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while my husband and I were away! She did everything we asked and more. I loved getting pictures of our kitties while we were gone! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Pooja was great with our cat. She was very punctual for all the check-ins and also stayed longer a couple of times because our cat was sitting on her lap! Her reports were very detailed and she made sure she sent pictures. She went above and beyond the required services (even ran our robot vacuum because she saw some litter on the floor!). Next time we leave town we will definitely be asking Pooja to look after our cat!
Pooja took excellent care of Lily. She was so sweet and kind!
Benny had so much fun with Pooja and Jasmine! Got so many

Safety, trust & environment
We have gates to manage safety if needed. We no longer keep a crate in our home so if your dog needs one please provide it. We have loads of toys and treats which we can offer. On top of the basics we keep things clean and fresh for pets like water, food bowls, and litter boxes.

A typical day
Drop-In Visits: Typically I will stop by your home for 30 minutes each time to feed, clean up, play and walk your pet(s). Dog Walks: I am happy to take your dog out to explore (30 mins) around the neighborhood or near by parks. I can offer a lower rate for short walks (~15 mins) near my home. DayCare: I like to take dogs on walks at parks with loads of different things to see, local trails through the neighborhood. My pup loves the smells, people and dogs walking by. We also have quieter routes near by. During the day we offer dogs mental and physical stimulation with things like the snuffle mat, puzzles, kongs, obstacle courses and toys all washed and checked for rips. During the summer or weekends we may go on long hikes if your dog enjoys that! Loads of snuggles, pets and scratches along with the best care! Feel at ease when entrusting your fur-baby with me.
