I always wished I could be a dog

Pet care experience

Hello Bay Area! I have recently moved here with my dog PJ and I am looking to provide boarding and day care services to the furry residents of California. I am a former protection dog trainer and long time Rover sitter. I always exercise extreme caution with dogs to ensure they are safe and happy. I make sure all dogs are provided the appropriate exercise for their age, breed, and activity level. My dog PJ has been well socialized and has never shown aggression towards another dog. He is very good at reading another dog's energy and play style, as well as giving them space when needed. Leash pullers, XL/strong dogs are welcome. My dog is very large, so I am very used to dealing with very powerful leash pulling. We generally go on 2-4 walks a day with lots of play time in between. I make sure all dogs are tired by the end of the day to ensure they are not anxious when staying in a new home. I always feed dogs separately (to prevent resource guarding) and will always monitor them when eating. All dog play is closely monitored by me to make sure no dog is uncomfortable. BOARDING CLIENTS PLEASE READ My boarding availability is very limited due to my apartment being a studio. I can only accept boarding if your dog is crate trained. I do not leave a dog alone with my dogs in the same room. If your dog needs to be boarded for 2 days, they do not need to be crate trained as I can be home full time for 2 whole days at the most. I make sure all health conditions, medications, and behavioral needs are attended to when caring for other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs that have behavior issues and I am willing to work through them. For boarding and day care, I can only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs because they will have to interact with my dog PJ.

My dog is almost 6 months so it was nice for him to be chased around by a bigger dog and play alongside them instead of just having my cat and toy sized dog to play with

Sahil did a good job in taking care of my pooch. He would send me regular pictures and videos during the entire duration of the stay. He also have 2 of his own dogs who were playmates for my pooch. I think mine had a comfortable stay at his place.

Sahil was amazing watching my high energy dog for a week. He sent plenty of pictures and videos of her playing with his two friendly pups. My dog gets very anxious in new areas and will usually have diarrhea during her stay. He was very accommodating and professional about taking care of her and being patient with her to be comfortable during her stay. I can't wait to use him again!

Sahil took excellent care of our pet Zoey! She had a great time - getting belly rubs and playing with Sahil’s pups -PJ and Venom as well as going for walks ! Sahil sent us regular updates, pictures and videos which was really reassuring! Looking forward to book Zoey another stay with Sahil and the pups soon!

A typical day

We go on long walks near my apartment that includes a nice nature trail near the River Oaks community. I always avoid other dogs on walks. You never know if another dog is friendly with other dogs, so I air on the side of caution and avoid them. The only dog your dog will interact with is mine. I NEVER take dogs off leash unless we are in a fully fenced in yard. Before taking the leash off in a fenced in yard/park we play at, I always walk the perimeter of the park with the dog to ensure there are no openings in the fence. I will also ensure there are no other dogs at the park. In my experience, dog parks are very unsafe - so I do not go to them.
