Pet care experience

12 Years of Tail Wags & Trust

With over 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a calm, respectful, and attentive approach to every pup I meet. I started out as a teen, pet sitting for family friends, and quickly became the go-to dog sitter among my own circle as I got older. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including seniors and shy rescues. I understand that every dog is different: some need high-energy play and stimulation, while others need a gentle pace and plenty of quiet companionship. I focus on building trust with each dog by meeting them where they are—whether that means tossing a ball in the yard, going for long walks, or simply giving them space and comfort while you're away.

We cannot say enough good things about Surekha. Finding someone you trust with your dog is tough, but she made it incredibly easy. She is so genuinely kind and patient, and she has been absolutely wonderful with our mini Aussie. She understands his personality perfectly and tailors her approach to exactly what our pup needs that day. Surekha is dependable, communicative, and just a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!

Surekha has been an incredible cat sitter and is my go-to when I’m out of town. My cat Mars is so much happier staying in her home environment with Surekha stopping in for a few hours of play, treats, and cuddles each day. Always appreciate the updates and photos she shares. Highly recommend pet sitting with Surekha! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Surekha was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Due to personal emergency, I had to find someone to walk my dogs right away. Surekha was the one I found here. From the first message, I could tell she’s very organized, helpful, and attentive. And of course she completed the service very well and professional. I would highly recommend her to anybody who’s looking for a dog sitter and walker for their pupps

I can’t recommend Surekha as a walker highly enough! She is incredibly reliable and genuinely so sweet with my dog. It’s clear how much she cares, my pup is always happy and well-exercised. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, which gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or taking your pet for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, leash safety, proper feeding, and making sure medications (if needed) are given correctly. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, leaving things just as I found them, and making sure your pets feel secure in their environment. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, so your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I tailor each day to match their energy and routine. For dogs, that might mean a long morning walk, followed by some playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of praise and cuddles. I love mixing in sniffari-style walks or basic training games to keep their minds and bodies active. For cats, I’m all about creating a calm, comfortable environment. Whether it’s interactive play with wand toys, brushing, or just lounging together, I let the cat lead and make sure they get both stimulation and rest. I’m also a pro at giving treats and attention on their terms! Throughout the day, I keep water fresh, clean up after them, and maintain a calm, respectful space, whether I’m visiting or staying overnight. You can expect plenty of updates, happy tails, and purring reports while you’re away!

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Surekha can host up to 1 pet per night
Before we get started, I always like to know a bit about your pet’s personality, routines, and any special needs. Things like: Do they have any allergies, medications, or health conditions? Are there any behaviors I should be aware of (e.g., nervous around strangers, leash reactivity, resource guarding)? How do they usually do when you're away? any separation anxiety or special comforts that help? What’s their daily routine like for meals, walks, play, and quiet time? Do they have favorite toys, treats, or activities (or anything they don’t like)? The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and understood while you’re away.
