Pet care experience

Precision Care for Your VIP (Very Important Pup): Meticulous & Reliable About Me : I am a lead tech professional, which means my life is built on precision, reliability, and high standards. After my own dog passed away, I began fostering for the Humane Society to share my home with pups in need. Because I don’t have a dog of my own right now, yours becomes my absolute priority and receives 100% of my attention. The Five-Star Experience: Constant Companion: I don’t believe in leaving guests alone. Your dog will be with me throughout the day—never left to wonder where their human went. Please note : Friday boarding time starts on or after 6:00pm A Pristine Environment: Because I foster young puppies, my home and yard are kept meticulously clean and sanitized. It is a safe, healthy space for dogs of all ages. Total Freedom: My home is their home. They are free to roam the house, explore the yard, or join me for a nap on the bed. Active & Engaged: Whether it’s a high-energy game of fetch or a long neighborhood stroll, I follow your dog’s lead and energy level. My Professional Promise: Routine-Focused: Whether it’s specific meal times or a medication schedule, I follow your instructions to the letter. Regular Updates: I provide frequent photo and text check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having. Integrity & Trust: I treat my pet-sitting responsibilities with the same dedication I bring to my career. You can travel with total peace of mind. I’d love to host your furry family member! Please feel free to reach out with any questions about my care approach.

Smitha is the best! She really loves our pup as our own. My pup doesn’t even look back when we drop her off with Smitha. Great updates and reassures the parents throughout the stay.

Watched our pup many times. Super sweet and always loving. Provides a home away from home with careful attention to our baby’s needs. Amazing communication with reassuring updates for us throughout the stay.

Smitha very patiently handled my high-energy lab for an overnight stay. She took him out for walks far more frequently than any sitter he’s had. He was very happy to spend his weekend there!
