Surgeon-intraining-inlove-with-dogs

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs ever since i was a kid. Me and my family had a German Shepherd and Border Collie as pets at home. I have been meaning to adopt a dog as well but due to the time commitment required, I am unable to do so at this point in time. Therefore, this is the perfect opportunity for me to play and love the dogs I care for at my own convenience! My work hours can be a bit intense but my late afternoons and evenings are mostly free and even weekends. As a surgeon-in-training, I can know when a dog is sick, having cared for dogs before with my family and friends. I can also provide CPR and any medical advice for the pet.

Umar and his wife are delightful! They were super easy to schedule with and we had a great pre-stay meet and greet with Bonsai. They kept me up-to-date with pictures the whole way through and Bonsai came home with a spring in his step, so I know he had a great time with them! I'm looking forward to booking with them again in the future. :)

Umar was really great with Jack. Very loving and took great care of him. Umar was also very responsive with multiple pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommended Umar as a dog sitter.

Umar was great taking care of my dachshund Remy. Remy is a rescue and has some anxiety and fear aggression issues so we are always nervous when introducing him to new people. Umar invited us to his apartment the day before so Remy could get used to things. He was extremely welcoming and is very knowledgeable dogs and animal behavior. He even went out of his way to buy treats in anticipation of Remy’s stay. Remy had a nice, relaxing time without any issues and Umar kept me updated. Thanks Umar!

Umar and his wife took wonderful care of my dog, Cody this past week. They were kind and caring in every way, flexible in a last minute booking and patient with Cody. They took him for walks, sent plenty of pictures and were completely reliable and responsible. I am so grateful to have found them and felt relief in the face of a family emergency knowing that my beloved Cody was in such good hands. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and recommend them wholeheartedly!
