Loving & Responsible Pet Sitter

I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own!

Poorna has sat for us multiple times. The last time just proved how great she is!

Poorna was able to extend my booking last minute when I had delays getting back home. She's great with my dog and cats!

Poorna did great with my cats and dog. She was able to give my cat her medication and my dog enjoyed going to the dog park with her!

Poorna was so kind and accommodating! She was super patient with my anxious pups, and made sure to send daily pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
