Availability
During the weekend, I'll be primarily at home and can provide numerous potty breaks for your pup. If i do need to step out for errands, I can either leave your pup out as long as they are comfortable or I can place them in a crate if they are crate trained. They pass the day dazing off into the woods and watching birds, squirrels, deer and the occasional fox from the safety of a window. I will limit myself to 1 dog for boarding overnights or for day care. I can do 2 but only if they are already a pair living in the same household. Having to unknown dogs in my home could lead to fights which I want to avoid for the sake of the dogs, you and me!
About Sachin V.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to do all my walks and potty breaks on-leash. No fenced-in yard, so your pup will get lots of positive bonding on walks!. I have an XL crate and can provide crating if your pup is crate trained/if that's a preference for you. Your pups bed time will be in the crate (if trained), in a spare bedroom with a giant mattress all to themselves with a window and light. My furniture is pet friendly (no antiques here!). I can enforce any feeding rules that you have (sit/stay before chowing down) or provide any medications as directed. I do not have any pets of my own at the moment.

Information Sachin V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pets preferences for bedding, I have a rarely used dog cot they are welcome to use that used to belong to my old bomb dog. She preferred sleeping on the carpet. Perhaps some osmosis learning could occur!
A typical day
Neighborhood walks for sure! I have a long leash so some medium-distance throws of the ball can be done. Your dog is welcome to hang out in my office while I work on the computer. They can daze away into the woods watching for birds, squirrels, deer, foxes. My two teen boys would love to play tug of war with them as well!

US Government-trained dog handler!
Pet care experience
Hello, I am a former US Gov. dog handler with 10 yrs of dog handling experience as well as experience with my own pets and family dogs. I was trained at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas to work Explosives Detection K9's for use at our airports, specifically Dulles Airport in VA. I have traveled extensively throughout the country and world, sometimes with my K9 which was always exciting. From supporting presidential inaugurations, the Super Bowl to bomb threats at an airport or on an aircraft the job was so fulfilling. Also seeing kids' faces light up at the airport was the best! Sadly, those days are behind me but I still have the knowledge and desire to play and be with dogs. I used to have the flexibility to work from home most of the month but now I am forced to go into the office so my Rover abilities are limited to weekends. But during those weekends I can give your four-legged family member plenty of breaks.
Reviews
Sachin took great care of our dog and was in regular contact providing updates and a few pics. Highly recommend Sachin … Romeo had an excellent visit !
Sachin did a great job watching my two fur balls. He was not at all phases by their playful energy. They came home very happy!
Sachin has been an amazing sitter for Zeke. Sachin is extremely accommodating, patient, and personable. Zeke is always excited to visit. I highly recommend Sachin for anyone who wants to feel confident in your dog’s well being while you’re away. Thanks again, Sachin!
Stella loved Sachin and was very well behaved with him!
