Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe & loving care for Paws & Claws
I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rakesh was great— dependable good communication and worked well with our dogs, small dog and larger dog. Both dogs liked him a lot.
Rakesh has done wonderful job for taking care of our golden doodle dog…He sends periodic updates with photos and vedio…
Rakesh took care of Kobe amazingly! He is truly one of the best pet lovers we have ever met. He cared for Kobe as if he were his own, giving him so much love, attention, and affection. Kobe was so comfortable with Rakesh that he didn’t want to leave his side! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kobe was in such loving and caring hands. We are incredibly grateful to Rakesh for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby.
We had the absolute best experience with Rakesh! We were nervous to leave our fur babies with someone we didn’t know, but Rakesh immediately put me at ease. He was very professional and immediately wanted to gather as much info about our frenchies so that he could be as prepared as possible. While we were away, he was incredibly communicative, kind, attentive, loving, and caring. He followed our routine and totally spoiled our dogs with attention, love, and yummy treats. He provided ample pictures and videos, and it was clear that our dogs were having a blast and felt so loved. He went above and beyond for our dogs. He treated them like family, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Without a doubt, we will use Rakesh again and refer him to anyone looking for a home away from home. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to provide exceptional love and care, look no further!
Rakesh followed all my instructions exactly and took great care of my dog. She was very comfortable with him even though they had never met before which just shows me that he has good energy around animals. I will definitely be hiring him again.
Amazing work by Rakesh. Watched my dog and taking care of him today and he was so happy.

Schedule
Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.
Pets
A typical day
I love making sure every pet has a fun, safe, and engaging experience. Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. For more active dogs, I enjoy longer walks and outdoor adventures, while senior pets or more relaxed animals can enjoy gentle strolls and quiet companionship. My goal is to keep every pet happy, comfortable, and feeling loved while you’re away.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible to provide the best experience. Please let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite toys, exercise needs, and any fears or triggers. I’d also appreciate knowing how they interact with other people and animals, any house rules. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
