Lifelong Dog Lover with Training Experience! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with a Beagle and later a Black Lab. After moving to San Diego, I adopted Sammy, my energetic Great Dane mix, from the San Diego Humane Society. When I brought him home, he had no prior training or socialization, so I immediately enrolled him in behavioral training. With patience, consistency, and a lot of love, I helped him progress to advanced training within six months. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies to large breeds with high energy levels. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement, structure, and care tailored to each dog's unique needs. Above all, I genuinely love animals and will treat your furry loved one with the same respect and care that I give my own. Whether your pup needs structured walks, playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and loving experience. I can’t wait to meet your dog! 🐾🐶

About Rajesh S.

Safety, trust & environment

Safe, Trustworthy, and Loving Care for Your Pup When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs—including their diet, temperament, and any health concerns—to provide a personalized and stress-free experience. I’m mindful of behaviors like resource guarding and use positive reinforcement to create a peaceful environment where every pet feels secure. In my home, I offer a nurturing space with plenty of room to relax and play, including a spacious two-bedroom unit and an 800 sq. ft. basement. For outdoor adventures, I have experience handling dogs in different environments, including parks. However, I always confirm with the owner before taking their pup to any public space and ensure they are up-to-date on vaccinations for their safety. Above all, I treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. Your furry companion will receive attentive, responsible care—whether in my home or yours—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands.

Information Rajesh S. would like to know about your pet

Help Me Provide the Best Care for Your Pup! To ensure a safe and comfortable experience for your furry friend, please share any important details about their needs, preferences, and routine. This includes: Special Needs or Medical Requirements – Any medications, allergies, or health conditions I should be aware of. Behavioral Traits – Does your pup have any quirks, anxieties, or triggers (e.g., resource guarding, leash reactivity, separation anxiety)? Daily Routine & Preferences – Feeding schedule, potty habits, energy levels, and favorite activities. Socialization & Park Visits – Are they comfortable around other dogs and people? Do they enjoy dog parks, or do they prefer solo walks? Training & Commands – Any specific cues or training techniques you’d like me to reinforce. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and at home. I look forward to meeting your pup! ??

A typical day

indoor games like "find it" where I hide a toy or treat somewhere in the home. This provides engagement, use of their nose and critical thinking which all serve to provide enrichment and fun. I have balls of varying sizes also to throw around, either inside or outside.
