Your dog in the safest paws possible
Pet care experience
Ask anyone and they will tell you how much I love dogs. I turn my head anytime I see a pooch on the street. I started out looking after a friend's Yorkshire terrier then in lockdown minded dogs for neighbours and locals via Borrow my Doggy. It gave me a good foundation for minding dogs and I found it a joyful addition to my routine. I am currently in between jobs so can afford good quality time. I've looked after senior dogs as well young ones. I'm also familiar with the more nervous temperaments and have learned how to be sensitive to their needs.
Reviews
Radhika an absolute angel! I'm in over the top protective dog mum and have never left my dog before with anyone he's now almost 11years old. The minute I met Radhika I knew she was a great match for Buddy. She's completely immersed in shower the dog in her care with TLC. She kept me informed throughout the day/evening with pictures/videos and also accommodated for my time mix up. Very attentive to his needs and asked for clarity on his care needs. Will definitely be booking her again.
Marlo, my 5 year old cavapoo, did a trial day at Radhika’s house. Radhika kept in contact with me throughout the day, sending photos and videos of him too. Marlo has never been away from home by himself before so he was quite anxious, but Radhika was wonderful with him and he is slowly, but surely, starting to warm up to her. We have already arranged another trial day and for Marlo to stay with Radhika for a couple of weeks whilst I am away later this. I’m hopeful that Marlo will become more confident and safe in Radhika’s home!
Kobe had a great time again.
Radhika was great with Elvis. Made sure he was comfortable and went above and beyond to make sure he had a great stay with her. Would recommend and will definitely use her services again.

Give them your heart and they will give you theirs" Marley and Me. Love. Pure and simple. But play and interaction is a key component of my care. I like them to feel happy and calm. I take them on their walks in parks ( I have a few nearby) and tend not to take them off leash because I don't want to take that risk with your loved dog. I love taking photos of dogs (which i send to owners throughout the stay) and do the odd pet portrait as a hobby.

Information Radhika D. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to know of any needs or idiosyncrasies your dog has so I can be considerate of them. For example a current dog I look after is very scared of children and other dogs so I am careful with them on walks and try to steer them clear. Also it would be great to have them well toilet trained.
A typical day
I pay a lot of attention to dogs in my care and like to interact with them. But I also know when they need some alone time especially at the beginning of a stay. I think the most important thing is to reassure new stays and make them feel welcome and safe. So some play and lots of "good dog" praise i find does the trick.. I have 2 parks within walking distance of my house and on sunny days I would take advantage and go for bigger walks.

Currently in between job so will have lots of spare time to attend to play and fun. Weekend boards for starters are fine so they get a good feel for the home. I live with my dad in a semi detached house with a garden so quite a bit of space.
