16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am a lead at my job, so I run a few meetings through the week. Sometimes the times requested may conflict with what I have going on, but I will always let you know if there is a modification needed. For dog walks, I can work around my meeting times and suggest times that work for me, if that is acceptable by the owners that are booking. For cat drop ins, it would be most beneficial to schedule it past 3pm Mountain Time. Cats are very punctual, and I respect that being a cat Dad myself.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for each pet I provide service for as if they are my own. I will send plenty pictures and detailed updates of their habits, mood, and bathroom essentials. If I see anything concerning I will always let you know immediately. Worry not about packages in the mail, I will make sure I bring them inside while you are gone and update you on that as well

Information Tanuj G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special requirements and anything behavioral that may seem surprising to someone who is not familiar with your dog. For example, if your dog is a jumper and loves to jump up to new people for pets, just let me know in advance so I can brace myself! I have no issues with that, I just want to make sure my back is ready!

A typical day

I love playing fetch and tug of war with high energy dogs! As someone who will walk your dog, I will ask you for your preference on the route you want me to take with your dog and adhere to it. I would much rather take a route that you know your pet is comfortable with rather than thinking of a spot on my own.

Pets

Dog and Cat lover with a big heart

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by pets. My grandparents had plenty of dogs and cats on their farm when I was young. This probably helped develop the love and respect I have for these creatures. From a young age, I have always built a connection with most of the pets I meet. I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes, which may be why dogs are very comfortable with me. I pay close attention to detail with each pet I meet-I learn their behaviors and personalities quickly so that they build trust with me. I am currently the owner of three cats, Quincey, Nabi, and Chai. I am a Cat Dad in every sense, and when I am able to buy a house, I will be a Dog Dad as well. I am currently working from home indefinitely, so my schedule is normally wide open all day long. I am very flexible with my hours, so I will do my best to accommodate your personal schedule preferences. As someone who has taken care of dogs and cats through his entire life, I am very aware of the level of trust and communication needed to perform care well. If you are to choose me for drop in visits or walking your dog, I will communicate with you thoroughly through the whole process. Of course, I believe every pet owner would rather care for their pet themselves than have someone else do it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Keeping this in mind, I will make sure that you feel comfortable and establish a level of trust and communication with you to keep your mind at ease. I am more than willing to meet you in person before my services to get your advice, input, and preferences as to how you want me to conduct my service with your loved pet.

Tanuj was amazing! He first came to meet our cats prior to the trip and asked many questions to make sure he understood their needs. He watched our two cats for a week and fed them, cleaned their litter, played with them, and administered an inhaler. We got thorough daily updates and plenty of pictures. Attention to detail, loving care, above and beyond all around. Tanuj is an experienced, true cat lover. We will absolutely use Tanuj in the future! Thank you so much for everything

Tanuj was fantastic! He was really kind with my two dogs and made me feel comfortable leaving for a bit of time. Thank you!

Tanuj did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats! He should be the No. 1 choice for anyone in Idaho Falls looking for cat care. He came over to meet them twice before I was out of town and made sure they were comfortable with him and that the instructions I was leaving behind were adequate. It's quite obvious that he's excellent with cats. I received updates and pictures every day that became the highlight of my days as I traveled. I highly recommend Tanuj.
