Your Dog’s Home Away From Home!

My passion for all dogs would be what sets me apart from other sitters, combined with specialized skills to cater to your pup’s needs. I am a former psychology student and have studied psychology of dogs and worked in a lab with puppies so I have experience with training and working closely with dogs, as well as understanding their many behaviors. Every dog is different! I am also skilled with senior dogs, providing them with gentle attention and patience they require. My commitment to personalized care means I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. With me, your pup will not only be safe hut happy and engaged!

I had a great experience with Surya. He took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and comfortable. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!

Surya was easy to work with and very communicative. We enjoyed the daily check-ins as this was one of the first times that we left our dog for a long vacation. My pup had a blast in his spacious backyard. I would recommend Surya and his services without question!

Surya was absolutely wonderful! Totoro was super happy and tired when he got home! So I know that Surya took great care of him and gave Totoro the exercise he needed! Surya was very good about following instructions and asking questions when needed! I definitely would let Totoro stay again!

Schedule

Pet care was once part of my daily routine, even though my dogs live with my sister now. Each morning starts with a walk to energize both me and the dogs I care for, followed by playtime to keep their minds engaged. I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule this semester, so allocating time regularly feed and take your dog out to use the bathroom is no issue. I prioritize quality time to make sure the dog feels safe and secure in a new environment. I also offer fun opportunities for dogs such as hiking or nature walks! Pet care isn’t just a job commitment, it’s a rewarding experience that I look forward to!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a warm and welcoming environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. Daily routines include regular walks and interactive play sessions to keep their minds stimulated. I prioritize meals and ensure they have fresh water available at all times. I also monitor their behavior and health closely, providing any necessary medications or special care if needed. Most importantly, I offer lots of love and attention, making sure each pet feels like part of the family during their stay!

A typical day

I like to focus on providing a fun and engaging experience for every pet in my care. I love taking dogs to the local park for energetic games of fetch and leisurely nature walks to explore new sights and smells! Relaxation is just as important, so I set aside cuddle time for those cozy moments. Occasionally, we’ll embark on adventures to dog-friendly beaches or hiking trails. My goal is to provide a well-rounded experience that caters to each pet’s unique personality, making their time with me enjoyable and memorable.

Understanding a pet’s health is paramount, so I need to know about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they may require. Dietary needs are equally important. Knowing their specific food preferences, feeding schedules, and any treats they should avoid help maintain their routine and keeps them comfortable. Additionally, insights into their behavioral traits, including likes, dislikes, and any fears so I can tailor my approach for care. I also want to understand how the pet interacts with other dogs and people, as well as any triggers/ issues. If the dog has favorite toys or any commands they respond to, that will help greatly, as well.
