Vikshara’s cared for our dog, champ, multiple times and was great! We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She would send updates when she went to check on him. If we didn’t move out of state, we would still be using her!!

Vikshara has taken care of my house and many animals, including, dogs, cats, and birds, dozens of times for over 10 years. I have never met a more responsible, attentive, and diligent caretaker. I have known Vikshara and her family since she was born. They are truly lovely, kind, and thoughtful people and Vikshara was raised to be respectful and hard working. My household is a challenge with many instructions. My dog's kibble has to be softened in water which Vikshara takes time to do. My older animals have special needs with medication and occasionally have accidents, needing clean up. Vikshara takes care of cleaning the litter box and the backyard dog doody, if needed. Because coyotes frequent my area, the dogs have to be locked in at night, but let out during the day. Vikshara comes twice a day to tend to them. Vikshara even takes care of my hummingbird and squirrel feeders. She has always come through 100% of the time. Vikshara is an experienced animal person who knows what to do in a pet emergency. She has a passion for pets and spends time with my dogs and cats, giving them attention. I'm a little fanatical about security, so having someone I trust taking care of my house gives me peace of mind while away. Whether it's turning lights on and off, locking doors, bringing in mail, or checking on something I forgot, Vikshara has it covered. When it comes to letting someone into your home and your life, I cannot emphasize enough that you will be happy with Vikshara and she will never let you down.

Vikshara is an incredible pet sitter and caretaker. She has taken care of so many of her neighbors and friends’ animals. She is extremely responsible and loving! I would 100% trust her taking care of both my dog and cat for extended periods of time! She is punctual, attentive, and a joy to be around. She is also equipped to handle pets with special care needs! I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Highly recommend!
