Pet care experience
Will treat your pup as my own
I have always loved pets but finally had a chance to become a 1st time pup mom about 20 month ago and have absolutely fell in love with taking care of pups. My puppy is not my pet he is our little boy. My husband has had dogs for the last 10 years before we were married and also love dogs. We live in a 3 story townhouse with each level separated by baby gates in a really safe neighborhood. I work from home and am available for overnight boarding. I have a 19 month standard GoldenDoodle who is great with other dogs. During the workweek we hang out on the 3rd floor in our family room with a patio; so your pup can freely be inside or outside., Most days we go for 4 30 minutes walks a day and we also have a dogpark hidden in our neighbourhood which only available to homeowners which I am able to take dogs to. I am able to talk the dogs to walk together or separately. I do not walk dogs off leash. We have had a few friends who we have watched their pups for a week at a time. We'd have to have a conversation around your puppies needs. I would like to learn about your pup in terms of how they are outside on walks, their indoor habits, how they are with strangers (infants, kids, adults) and other dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Ushma and her husband (and their dog, Whiskey!) are amazing! Loochie, my 1.5 year old poodle had a blast with them! Ushma has been extremely caring, very prompt in responding to queries, and overall, extremely friendly to do business with! Loochie can't wait to get back to them!
Neo loves staying with ushma. Whiskey and him are such good friends and play so much. She shared so many pictures and videos. Thank you for taking care of Neo!
Ushma was awesome. We were greeted by her, her husband and whiskey. They were very welcoming and easy to talk to. She updated us with a picture and feedback rite away. Thank you !
Our senior pup had his first stay with Ushma & her husband. We did a meet-and-greet so Ollie could meet their dog. That was fine. They were accomodating to our drop off time which was nice. Ollie requires a lot of attention; he is hard of hearing, his eyesight is not great, he has arthritis & anxiety. In retrospect, I should have given more thorough instructions. For example, I put a belly band (doggie diaper) on Ollie to protect their floors. My instructions said to take Ollie out every 2 hours to pee. I failed to say that one should remove the belly band when going out. As a consequence, Ollie spend all day in a wet diaper. Totally my fault for not explaining properly. My heart broke when I was told that after I left, he stood at the door for 2 hours. Again, I should have included instructions on distracting him with food/treats to ease the separation anxiety. Judging by how awesome their dog looks, Ushma & her husband care deeply about dogs & are wonderful people. This just wasn't the right fit for us.
Thank you. Amazing Miracke can't back Tuesday after walking almost 3 miles and playing for almost 1 hours at the Dog Park!!!
Ushma took care of our dog (still a puppy at one plus year old), Brady. Great experience! Brady was happy and active. We got regular updates with pictures and videos. Brady has a sensitive stomach and can only eat limited food so nothing outside of it. Ushma took extra care to follow his diet. Highly recommend Ushma!!

Schedule
Most of my life mostly revolves around my puppy. I wake up in the morning and walk my puppy; and take him out in between meetings. My husband or I take take our puppy our to the park around sunset and then again before we go to bed. I am able to accomodate if your pup needs to go out more often during the day time.

Safety, trust & environment
We live in new build neighboorhood in a 3 story townhouse. Each level is separated by a baby gate. I work on the 3rd floor in our second family room with a outdoor patio for the puppies to go inside and outside as they please. I am able to feed kibble or make fresh food depending on your pups diet. I also make fresh treats (biscuits, yogurt cups, smoothie cubes and snackbowls) along with fresh veggies for my pup. I work on training my pup daily and able to work with yours as needed. We have tons of toys
