Pet care experience

Experienced vet tech & sitter! :)

Hello, I'm Sanjana! I've been living in DC for 4 years and really miss my dogs back home. I'd love to share my love for pets with yours! I hold a bachelor's degree in animal science, have five years of experience as a vet tech, worked at doggy daycares, volunteered in shelters, and raised a guide dog through the Guide Dog Foundation. Currently, I work in the wildlife non-profit sector. It's safe to say that I am passionate about animals. With my background as a vet tech and dog trainer, I excel in understanding your pets' needs, including medical and behavioral aspects. I enjoy exploring new training techniques with clients who are interested. If you need advice on treats, toys, leashes, food, training, supplements, or anything else related to pets, feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to share my experiences and recommendations that have worked well for my own dogs and during guide dog training. Your pets will definitely have a fun and relaxing time with me :)

Sanjana is an amazing sitter and dog walker! She is extremely kind to my dogs and very accommodating to me. She goes out of her way to make sure the dogs in her care are well taken care of.

Sanjana was an amazing sitter for Lucy! I had a terrible flight delay returning from my trip, and she was so flexible, accommodating, and able to take care of my baby for a couple extra days. She saved me so much stress and headache, really appreciate and recommend her!

Sanjana was amazing! She treated beans like her own pet, was extremely responsive, and sent lots of pics of my dog Beans to update me. I would definitely recommend Sanjana!!

Sanjana was such a life saver! She was quick to respond, flexible and accommodating with our last minute booking. She has a very kind and welcoming spirit. That made Gennisis feel cozy and comfortable. We will definitely be a repeat customer in the future!

Sanjana took good care of my dog when we were out of town so we didn’t need to worry about our fur baby.

A typical day

I love to keep pets physically and mentally active— whether that’s through walks in different parts of town or playing with different toys! I’d love to make the national mall a fun spot to walk around.

Please provide poop bags, clean bedding, food in appropriate no spill containers, and toys that will keep pets busy during the day. Also let me know if your dog has any special needs, leash aggression, food aversion, or anything that may set them off. I am well trained to keep an eye out for medical or behavioral things, but would love a heads up just in case.
