Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will have free range throughout the apartment - they can sunbathe on the comfy couch in the living room, or snooze on the sofa next to me in my workspace. Having pets of my own, I’m very careful about clearing rooms of anything that the doggos can get into.

Information Sushmitha K. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog react to other people/ dogs? Is he/she better with one-on-one, or do they do fine in a crowd? This will also help me figure out which route to take them on during our walks, so they’re able to enjoy their time! Do they prefer to be constantly engaged through the day, or do they generally sleep through most of the day/ like to rest? Are there any household items that cause them anxiety? For example- my dog is a bit scared of vacuums. :)

A typical day

I love to play ball with the pets that I watch! It’s a great way for them to get exercise throughout the day, even while indoors.

Pet care experience

Leaving your fur babies behind with a stranger can be worrisome! I’m here to provide the assurance and comfort that is so important when leaving your pet in another person’s care. I strongly value providing dogs with adequate exercise, love, and fun throughout the day. I love taking them on long walks after work. It’s the best part of their day, and I love giving them time to sniff around and explore their environment while keeping a close eye for their safety!

We’ve been working with Sush for quite a while now and can definitely say that our dog LOVES being with her. She is patient, kind, and cares about our pup. Her dog Thor is also a big sweetie and we feel safe w our dog at Sushmitha’s!!

Sushmitha is the best! Thor gets along great with my dog, who historically has issues with other pets. She sends pictures of my dog enjoying her visit and I’d recommend her!
