Individual loving care for your pet

Pet care experience

I treat dogs like individuals with their own personalities, likes and dislikes, boundaries and limits. I will take the time to get to know your dog with attentive care so that I can keep him or her safe from harm and give endless, personalized love and affection. I am a long-time dog lover who never got to own her own dog growing up. So I made up for it by volunteering at the animal shelter, pet sitting for family friends, and dog walking. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and exercise needs. I can also administer any medication your dog may need to receive. I love to walk with the dogs I look after and bring them to a nearby off-leash park. If your pup is nervous or nearing their later years, I have picked up some dog-massage knowledge over the years. In my experience, massage can help high-strung and old dogs to become more at home and relaxed. I look forward to getting to know your dog!

Sunanda did an amazing job at taking care of our 10 week old puppy while we were at a wedding. She was early, responsive, and gave us plenty of updates throughout the night.

Sunanda was a great sitter. She came to help us on short notice so we could leave our pup for a few hours to go to a doctors appointment. Pablo loved hanging out with her and was super calm when we came back. Definitely recommend her for a house sitting.

Sunday was great with our two boxers. She was punctual, communicated well, even sent us photos and updates. This was our first time using a pet sitter and we made an excellent choice. Sunanda put us at ease. Our boxers loved her and she was great handling thier medical conditions and medications. Will definitely use again for future trips!

Sunanda was awesome! She came over and watched our two dogs last minute and couldn’t have made it more comfortable for us. It was our first time using rover and was very nervous. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us through out our trip making us feel good knowing our dogs were safe. Will definitely have her back again!! Definitely recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to keep an awareness of where your pet is at all times. I’ll always ask you where you’re comfortable having me bring your dog both in your house and outside.

Information Sunanda G. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog has allergies or has any special treats that will reward them for good behavior. I also like to know the commands they've learned or whether or not you'd like me to practice a new command with them. I'm happy to help you train your dog to be well-behaved in your home!

A typical day

Your dog will get all the exercise and play he or she needs around your neighborhood and in an off-leash park if they are comfortable roaming free and coming back. One of my favorite things to do while boarding dogs is to play tug of war or fetch in our front yard! I'll also give your dog a massage if they are comfortable. Dog massages are known to reduce pain, release stress, and increase energy just like for humans! Your cat will receive attention, loving care throughout the day, regular feedings, and a playful caretaker.
