Safety, trust & environment

I live with two friendly roommates who love animals just as much as I do, so your pup will get lots of love and attention. We have plenty of space in the common areas for lounging, playing, and relaxing. I have easy access to nearby walking trails and parks which are perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that too - whatever helps them feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life since I was 16, when I convinced my family to welcome our first golden retriever puppy into our home. Since then, my love for dogs has only grown, I have cared for my own pets and had the joy of pet sitting for many people over the years. From energetic puppies to calm seniors, from tiny toy breeds to big lovable giants, I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I bring years of experience of care and a deep sense of empathy and connection with every dog I meet.

Uma was wonderful! I was so worried about leaving my dogs for a longer period of time, but I felt a million times better knowing they were in such good care. She sent regular updates and kept us in the loop, and she was patient and accommodating with the time difference. We will absolutely book her again.

Uma did an amazing job house sitting for 5 days taking care of our very anxious dog Roux! She was conscientious and very caring. Highly recommend her!

Uma asked thoughtful questions about my pup's care when we first met that let me know my pup was in good hands. She took good care of my pup and provided a lot of updates and photos that helped put my mind at ease while traveling.

My dog Luna absolutely adores Uma! She sprints straight up to Uma's bed when we arrive and it's clear that she feels loved and right at home. Uma has watched Luna on several occasions, including a multi-week long trip, and is incredibly reliable and communicative. It's such a relief knowing that Luna is so happy and well-cared for while we're away.
