Bow-wow Boss: I'm the Barkin' Queen
Pet care experience
As a dedicated pet lover with a deep passion for animals, being a pet sitter is not just a job for me, but a calling. I believe that pets are beloved members of our families, and they deserve the highest level of care and attention when their owners are away. With years of experience in pet care, including volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals in need, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. One of my top priorities as a pet sitter is the health and safety of the pets in my care. That's why I require all pets to be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure the well-being of both the visiting pets and those in my home. This policy ensures a healthy and secure environment for all furry guests. I have a very secure location in my house where they are allowed to roam freely in the house with my small yard. I prefer the environment where the client is more comfortable towards its furry being as I understand animals love to stay more where they have grown up. I'm open to stay at client's house for a day or two for house sitting. As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services tailored to the needs of each individual pet, including regular exercise, feeding, bathing, and administering medication if necessary. I am also skilled in handling emergencies giving pet owners peace of mind knowing that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands. Above all, my motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my unwavering love and passion for animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for pets, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them, and building lasting relationships with both the pets and their owners.
Reviews
Vahista was awesome with our two big girls who are not the easiest to handle! My girls love her and they are well taken care of on their weekend walks!! Can’t wait to keep this relationship going with the girls and Vahista🤗💛
It was so evident that Vahisha took the best care of Piper. When we picked her up we could tell Piper had built a special relationship with her. Vahisha sent lots of video's and picture's so we felt completely confident that Piper was in good hands, being played with and well taken care of. We highly recommend Vahisha as anyone's next pet sitter!
Vahista is a person that you can truly rely on to have the best interest of your pet at heart. It's very evident that she is a huge animal person and you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and taken care of while in her care.
Vahista was amazing with frank! Always updating us with photos or Frank or him enjoying himself with her and the other pups ? . Vahista kept frank active and comfortable! 10/10 wouldn't use anyone else.

I work according to the client’s need as they know their children better. There are no restrictions in my house as the little ones will not be chained or caged unless required as per the clients request as I believe they should have their own freedom and should feel like home.

Information Vahista D. would like to know about your pet
When taking care of a dog, there are several key points of information that are important to know ahead of time. This information helps ensure the dog's well-being, comfort, and overall care. Here are some important details I would like to know beforehand : 1. Health and medical history: It's crucial to have information about the dog's current health status, any pre-existing medical conditions, and their vaccination history. This helps me provide appropriate care and respond effectively in case of any health emergencies. 2. Dietary needs and feeding schedule: Understanding the dog's dietary requirements, including the type of food they eat, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. Also, knowing their regular feeding schedule and any specific dietary preferences they may have. 3. Exercise and activity requirements: Learning about the dog's exercise needs, such as the frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity they require to stay healthy and content. This helps me plan appropriate exercise routines and ensure they get the necessary mental and physical stimulation. 4. Behavioral traits and training: Familiarizing with the dog's behavior, including their temperament, socialization level, and any known behavioral issues or triggers. Additionally, information regarding their training history, commands they know, and any specific training methods that have been effective for them. 5. Daily routine and habits: Understanding the dog's regular daily routine, including their sleeping patterns, preferred activities, and any specific habits or preferences they have. This allows me to create a consistent and comfortable environment for the dog. 6. Contact information for the owner and veterinarian: Having the owner's contact information readily available in case of emergencies or if any questions or concerns arise. It's also important to provide me the contact details of your dog's veterinarian to seek immediate medical assistance when needed. By obtaining this important information beforehand, I can provide optimal care, address the dog's specific needs, and ensure a safe and comfortable experience for both the dog and yourself.
A typical day
1. Engage in high-energy outdoor games: I facilitate stimulating activities for dogs, such as running and ball fetching, in dog parks or spacious outdoor areas. These games provide ample exercise and mental stimulation, promoting overall well-being and enhancing the bond between the dogs and myself. 2. Organize interactive play sessions: I arrange dynamic play sessions with dogs, encouraging them to engage in energetic games and activities that cater to their natural instincts. This can involve running alongside them, engaging in tug-of-war games, or utilizing interactive toys to keep them entertained and active. 3. Encourage physical activity through dancing: In a home environment, I introduce dance routines that involve dogs in a safe and controlled manner. By incorporating specific movements and commands, we engage in a rhythmic and energetic activity that promotes physical exercise while providing an enjoyable experience for the dogs.
