Pet care experience
A former veterinarian now clinical animal behaviour student at the University of Lincoln with 10+ years of pet care experience across multiple species. Experience with petsitting and providing medical care to animals before the start of my veterinary career then moved to a dedicated veterinary practice for the last 8 years. I love being around animals and just watching and caring for them brings me so much joy! Since I have started my education here I have started to understand them even more and this aids my motivation to be a pet sitter as I feel like with my experience and knowledge I would make the experience for the pet wholesome and pleasurable and this in turn would help pet owners to be at easy that their pet is in good hands. I consider myself friendly, open and honest when it comes to my interactions with the pet owners and believe it is important to keep clear communication between us while also making sure they get timely updates and pictures of their pets. I understand this even more as I myself have had pets all through my life and even seeing a photo of them can bring me so much joy. Currently, I own 2 senior dogs, 1 rabbit and a newt back home but in the past I have also owned cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fishes and birds. As I stay on campus, I cannot keep animals in my accomodation so would be looking to exclusively pet sit through overnight stays or drop-in visits. Through the month of July I will be conducting research for my thesis which would involve me being unavailable from 11am - 1pm on weekdays for the whole month.

Reviews
We’ve already booked Rohit again—he’s been brilliant with Four. His communication is excellent, and he clearly understands dogs and their individual needs. Four warmed to him straight away, and it’s great to feel so confident leaving him in capable hands. Highly recommended!
Rohit was a home sitter for my 13yr old staffie- collie cross. He was caring, responsible, attentive to details and had a great bond with my dog. He was flexible with the dates and times which made things so much easier for me. He was contactable by phone and sent updates. I would definitely recommend and book him again.
Rohit will make a brilliant pet caregiver as he’s such a kind and caring soul. Having met him while studying a few months back (we’re both currently undertaking a masters in clinical animal behaviour) I can honestly say he has proven to be a honest and trustworthy friend. In addition his skills and knowledge as a vet will of course be helpful when looking after pets as well. I would have no problems trusting him with looking after my rescue cat when I go away.
Speak to Rohit about animals for just a few minutes, and you’ll see how deeply he cares and thinks about their well-being. His extensive experience as a veterinarian, including performing numerous surgeries, gave me immense confidence in his ability to handle any situation, even medical emergencies, calmly and professionally.

Safety, trust & environment
As I stay on campus I cannot bring pets in my accomodation. At a pet owner's home I can follow any practices the pet is used to whether it is being left in a crate or a specific area of the house before I leave. I can also provide medical care and follow routine and specific medical instructions if needed. I also accommodate requests for watering plants and any other specific house care instructions if within my capacity. I am adaptable and resourceful with my methods and would make any experience for the pet a positive one with keeping comfort and happiness as a priority. I also find it very important that the pet's routine should be as similar to what the owner's would normally do if they were home making it minimally stressful for the pet.
Information Rohit J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are specific routines you like to follow, ongoing training programmes or rules in the house that you are trying to set. If there's specific things your pets don't like or parts they don't like touched or handled.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. That involves structured play sessions and scavenging games(if appropriate), tug games, puzzles and enrichment. On walks I promote sniffing and exploration(if safe.)
