Availability

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m rarely away from home for more than 1–2 hours at a time unless I’m on vacation, which means your pet will have plenty of companionship and supervision. I love going for evening walks with my own dog, and I enjoy incorporating outdoor time, play, and routine care into my day. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I’m already home, active, and love being around animals, so your pet will get the same love and attention I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I follow your pet’s routine closely—including feeding schedules, medications, and walk times—so their day feels familiar and stress-free. I provide constant supervision, offer enrichment activities, and give lots of love, cuddles, and attention. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet corner, I adjust the care to fit their personality and needs.

Information Sarala M. would like to know about your pet

Yes—getting to know your pet ahead of time is very important to me. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and needs, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. A meet-and-greet gives us the chance to build trust, talk through their routine, and learn about any special requirements—like dietary needs, favorite toys, or how they interact with other animals or children. Understanding their temperament and daily habits ahead of time helps me provide the best care possible and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend, not a stranger.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active, happy, and mentally stimulated! Depending on your pup’s energy level, age, and personality, here are some fun activities I like to include: • Daily walks and sniff breaks for exercise and fresh air • Playtime with toys—fetch, tug-of-war, or gentle indoor games • Enrichment games like treat puzzles, hide-and-seek, or basic training refreshers • Cuddles and downtime for those who love affection and just being close • Backyard play (if staying at my home and weather allows) • Photo updates—because who doesn’t love a cute pup picture while away? My goal is to keep your dog engaged, relaxed, and feeling loved while you’re away. Whether they’re playful or laid-back, I tailor our time together to what makes them happiest.

Entrusting your pet with someone you do not know is high anxiety for a first time parent for a doggy daycare experience! We had the opportunity to meet Sarala and Appa Rao and their pup Chai prior to dropping Bella off for her first time for doggy day care. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl, knowing she was with the right family to care for her while we were away. She may have had a bit of separation anxiety but Sarala and Appa Rao knew exactly what to do and made her feel at home right away. Their pup is an Australian Shepard which has a similar personality and behaviors as our Border Collie. Couldn’t have been a more perfect match!! Thank you for making us feel very welcome in your home as well as Bella and caring for our pup as if she was yours!!
