Pet care experience

Your pets feel right at home

I have more than 8 years of experience of taking care of dogs of our friends and family. I am active and love taking dogs out for a walk and playing in the park. I don’t mind them sleeping in bed and being on furniture. I highly recommend parents to come over and see our place during meet and greet to feel comfortable about us and our living space for their pets. I love sending pictures and videos during the day and keep them up-to-date so that they aren’t worried or stressed about their pets. Day Care - Max 10 hours - Anything more will be charged extra $5 per hour until 14 hours. If more than 14 hours, then please book it as Boarding.

Pratik and his wife are so great. Our dog loves them and they are consistently reliable. We feel at ease leaving our dog with them while we are away on trips. We get regular updates on how he’s doing and have never had any issues. We will continue booking them.

Wonderful experience for Astro. Pratik and Madhvika are so caring that we had no qualms about leaving Astro for a long duration. They are genuinely affectionate and make sure the puppy is fed properly and groomed and to the extra mile. Astro enjoyed his time there and it was a highly enjoyable experience for him. We could enjoy our vacation without any worries thanks to the continuous stream of updates and detailed photos and videos. Highly recommend and would love to come back.

Astro enjoyed his time at Pratiks place. It felt like home to him right after one visit. We were overwhelmed by the amount of communication and updates provided. Very warm and friendly, highly recommended!

Pratik watched my pup, pepper, for the first time while I was out of town. My original sitter had canceled last minute! Luckily he was able to accommodate and even suggested a meet and greet to ensure pepper was comfortable. Remained super communicative and shared lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!

Pratik is one of the best dog sitters I have ever come across. My corgi Koda LOVES every time he is able to stay with Pratik - him and his wife create such a safe, comfortable, loving space and give plenty of love and attention to the dogs! It always makes my heart so incredibly happy to see every photo and video Koda is smiling from ear to ear - if you’re looking for someone to care for your pup, look no further they are truly the BEST!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment building with a concierge. My apartment is a 1 bedroom 1 bath with no sharp objects or furniture. There is also an emergency vet around. Your dog will have a comfortable and quiet place to rest.

A typical day

I have the exchange place waterfront near our place so I love to take them out and play near the Colgate clock or Van Vorst Park.

Let me know if your dog is aggressive seeing certain breeds or if they don’t like taking medications and also about food allergies or any signs that I should know. I would also like to know if your pet is very high energy and needs a lot of attention and play time.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
