Pet care experience

We Treat Them Like Family ❤️

As every dog is different, I try to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so that I can make sure they feel happy and safe with me while their owners are away. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match each dog’s age, temperament, and lifestyle. My goal isn’t just to “watch” pets — it’s to give them the same love, structure, and attention they get from you.

I was extremely satisfied with the care my dog received while staying with Sonali. Since he is still a puppy and working on his socialization, I was especially happy to see how much he enjoyed playing with the other dogs in her care—especially Simba! Sonali went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well. Since he can sometimes be a picky eater, she gave him extra treats like boiled chicken and vegetables to encourage him to eat his kibble. I really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was about his needs. She also provided frequent updates and lots of pictures throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to see how much fun he was having. He truly seemed like he had the best time while he was there—almost as if he was on a little vacation! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands and would absolutely recommend Sonali to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter.

Sonali was amazing with Scotch. This was my first time with Sonali and scotch was a happy camper for the whole week. She let me know how scotch was doing each day and sent plenty photos and videos to keep me updated. She was even gracious to add extra treats to his food to ensure he ate every day. Her dog Simba is super chill and got along immediately with my dog which was a plus. You would not regret leaving your fur baby with Sonali. I would use her services for sure next time I need a pet sitter.

Leaving Veer with someone else for the very first time was one of the hardest decisions for us. We've never left him alone before, so naturally we were anxious. But Sonali made the entire experience so comforting and stress-free. She took such wonderful care of Veer, played with him, gave him so much love and attention, and even hand-fed him because he's such a picky eater. It meant so much to us to know he was being cared for with so much patience and affection. Throughout his stay, Sonali kept us updated with lots of adorable pictures and cute little videos. Those updates completely put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our time away, knowing our little one was happy, safe, and loved. We're truly grateful for the care she gave Veer. I've already recommended Sonali to a few of my friends, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Sonali, for treating Veer like your own! ❤️🐾

Sonali was amazing with Lucky, she sent many pictures and she took care of him like he was her own by ensuring he was able to sleep comfortably at night.

Sonali took wonderful care of Einstein! She made sure he was fed on schedule and shared lots of pictures and videos throughout, which we really appreciated. He clearly had a great time with her, coming back happy and relaxed. She was attentive, reliable, and it was obvious he was in good hands. Highly recommend her as a sitter — we'll definitely be booking with her again!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. My day is centered around the pets I care for — from morning walks and feeding to playtime, training (basic commands), and snuggles. Since I’m home, I can give them consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles and companionship throughout the day. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for dogs in my home like they’re part of my own family. I have a big fenced yard where they can safely play and explore, and they’re welcome to relax on the couch or bed just like at home. I am a proud mom of a super friendly golden retriever who loves having new furry friends around! I keep a big bucket full of toys so they can play anytime they want. I’m home full-time, so I’m always there to give them lots of attention, cuddles and the love they deserve. I don’t use crates unless it’s part of their normal routine or needed for their comfort — I believe dogs deserve to feel free and relaxed while they’re here.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about love, play, and happy tails! I start the morning with some cuddles and potty breaks, then we head outside for fresh air and playtime in my fenced yard with my super-friendly golden retriever. The dogs get to play with lots of toys from our toy bucket — fetch, tug, or just some goofy fun! I make sure everyone stays fed, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the day. There are plenty of treats, belly rubs, and cuddle breaks in between. In the evening, we wind down with some calm indoor time before their last potty break. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️
