My schedule is super flexible right now. I study online for my CDA certificate three days a week and spend some time volunteering nearby at a senior housing community which means I’m home a lot and have plenty of open availability.

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet is staying with me, my place is completely pet proofed and ready for them. I like to set up a quiet and cozy spot for them when they first get here so they can sniff around and get comfortable at their own pace. Just bring their usual food and a favorite blanket or toy from home so they have those familiar smells, and they’ll basically just hang out and chill with me all day! When I watch pets at your place, I basically just try to keep their routine exactly how they like it so they don’t get stressed. I’m super clean, I make sure everything stays locked up and secure and I'll send you updates and pictures throughout the day so you know they’re doing fine. We'll do a quick walkthrough beforehand so you can show me where the food, toys and cleaning supplies are.

Information Sai D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about their eating schedule, bathroom habits and what they usually do when you're away. If they have any specific triggers (like loud noises or being touched in a certain spot) are prone to escaping, or need medication, definitely let me know!

A typical day

For dogs, that means plenty of walks to sniff around new spots, playing fetch until their tongue is hanging out or practicing their favorite tricks for treats. If they're more of a couch potato, we’ll stick to backyard sunbathing and plenty of belly rubs. I’m always down for whatever makes them happiest. For cats, it totally depends on their mood. If they’re high energy, I’m up for intense laser pointer chases, feather wand marathons or tossing track balls around. If they're more chill or easily startled, "fun" might just mean a grooming session with their favorite brush or just sitting on the couch together. I let them set the vibe. ☺️

Pet care experience

Hey there! I’m Sai. I’ve pretty much been surrounded by animals my entire life so pet sitting just feels like second nature to me. Whether it’s hanging out with an energetic pup, chilling with a cat or keeping an eye on a tiny hamster, I genuinely just love being around animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind so my main goal is to keep them happy, safe and completely spoiled with love while you’re gone.

Sai did an amazing job with Kali! It was her first time away from home, and she was given all the love she needed and wanted to be comfortable. Sai sent pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving us the reassurance we needed. We look forward to booking with her again!

Sai, I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am that you stayed with my babies. Your communication and professionalism are amazing. Thank you for making sure everything was left clean and that my babies were happy. I truly recommend you, and I would love to have you watch them again :)

Sai was great with Willie. She sent us great updates and photos and made it feel so much easier to leave him. She also left the house nice and clean which is such a bonus!
