Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about planning my schedule around my commitments to the pets I care for. I make sure I have dedicated time for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so no pet ever feels rushed or overlooked. I am organized, reliable, and mindful of timing, which allows me to be consistent with each pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, short-term care, or extended bookings, I prioritize being punctual and dependable. I communicate clearly about my availability and always plan ahead to ensure I can provide attentive, focused care for every booking.

About Pratik S.

Safety, trust & environment
I take safety, trust, and cleanliness very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own. I’m mindful of security at all times, making sure doors and windows are properly locked, alarms are set if required, and keys are handled responsibly. I maintain a clean and organized environment and always leave the home as I found it. I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routines, sleeping areas, and daily habits. I understand that staying in their own home can be especially reassuring for many pets, and I do my best to create a calm, consistent environment while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and well being and watch closely for any changes that may indicate stress or discomfort. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly and transparently with the owner. I provide regular updates and photos and aim to build trust through reliability, honesty, and consistent care. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel confident, comfortable, and completely at ease throughout every booking.

Information Pratik S. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I appreciate learning as much as possible about each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs. Important details include feeding schedules, portion sizes, walking routines, favorite toys or activities, and any house rules. It is also helpful to know about a pet’s temperament, comfort level with new people, and any anxieties, fears, or behavioral quirks. This allows me to approach them in a way that helps them feel safe and relaxed. I also like to understand any medical needs, medications, allergies, or health concerns, as well as emergency vet information and preferred contacts. For in-home care, knowing where supplies are kept, security instructions, and any home specific preferences is very helpful. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide consistent, personalized care and make sure your pet feels comfortable and well looked after.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences. For dogs, this can include walks, gentle play, outdoor time (if appropriate), and interactive games like fetch or tug. I also enjoy spending quiet time together, whether that’s relaxing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. For cats, I offer playtime with wand toys, laser pointers, and enrichment toys, as well as brushing (if they enjoy it), window watching, and calm companionship. I respect each cat’s boundaries and let them choose how they want to interact. I also like to include mental stimulation through puzzle toys, basic training reinforcement (if requested), and gentle routines that keep pets engaged without overwhelming them. Most importantly, I focus on making sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for, whether that means active play, quiet bonding time, or a mix of both.

Caring and Reliable Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. While my professional dog sitting experience is still growing, I approach every booking with dedication, patience, and attention to detail. I am comfortable following your dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and basic grooming. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, communicate clearly, and reach out if I ever have questions or concerns. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic or shy and adjust my approach accordingly. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and genuine attention. You can expect reliable service, regular photo updates, and honest communication throughout your booking. I care for every dog as if they were my own and always strive to provide a positive, trustworthy experience.

Reviews
I was more than pleased at how thorough and helpful Pratik and his wife were during our 21 day absence from home. He adjusted to each of our two dogs' personalities and sent pictures of them to us. The house was left in excellent condition, clean and organized. Pratik kept in regular communication with us so we never had any worries. I have no hesitation in recommending Pratik for any house sitting assignment.
Outstanding in every way. Fantastic, prompt, and clear communication. Highly recommended!!
Pratik was wonderful with my Bowie! This was our first sit with him but he was so quick to win Bowie’s trust. 100% recommend :)
Great communication. Sent photos and updates throughout Cheeko’s stay. Cheeko seemed very happy.
