Pet care experience

I have been around and caring for dogs and pets over the past 20 years and love doing so! They have a special place in my heart by being amazing and sweet in their own individual ways. Since my pup of 14 years passed last year this has been great to spend time with new furry friends! I can usually make fast friends with them as soon as we meet! I'm available most of the time and even more so with a weeks notice. I will maintain their schedules and routines with everything from eating, being let out on time, having outdoor access throughout the day, and where you prefer them to sleep. Can't wait to meet y'all and give them the family treatment! 😊

The dogs had a blast! Loved getting the photo and video updates. The dog made some new friends and got to play outside all day! They were tired out when they got back home. :)

Toby loves visiting Vishal! To him it’s a home away from home combined with a major dog party! Vishal keeps us updated with pics and Toby is always excited to see him!

Vishal kept my two boys for a month while I traveled abroad. I was nervous to be away from my babies for so long but he did an excellent job as a sitter! Everyday, I received lots of pictures and videos of what the boys were up to. He updated me and answered any of my questions or concerns. My dogs became really comfortable with him and one even made it a habit to sleep with him every night :) I highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I try and provide the best experience possible while they're away for home because I know it can be stressful to be in a new place and away from their normal. I initially spend the first full day with them to help settle in, get comfortable, and learn their way around the main parts of the house. It is a 4 bedroom house with a basement that has a door for backyard access. The backyard is pretty large as well with 6 foot tall wooden privacy fence which you can see most of in my profile pictures. The dogs, as permitted by you, will have full access to pretty much the whole main part of the house and can be on the couches and bed. There are dog beds all around the house too If that's preferred. For the ones that are crate trained, I have several medium and large crates to accommodate them and so you don't have to worry about bringing yours over. They are cleaned and sanitized after every use. On nice weather days the door to backyard access stays open to be able to go in and out as they please while still keeping an eye on them. I can give them a lot if space or have them closer by side depending on your preference.

Information Vishal J. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with most breeds of dogs and will follow their normal routines. If you have any specific questions feel free to send me a message any time and I usually can reply quickly. I sometimes ask if they like the company of other dogs and if they are allowed to play only if I have other visitors and guests but most of the time it's just us. I have plenty of space to do so and spend a lot of time with them either way:)

A typical day

I have a variety of toys of all kinds for the dogs including durable Kong toys, stuffed ones (until they are no longer stuffed and torn up?), ropes, and of course tons of tennis balls. I also have some heavy duty nylabones for the dog that loves a good chew every now and then. Generally I will play with them in the backyard by throwing the ball or just watching them run around having a good time. If they have extra energy we can go on a walk in the neighborhood also. In the evenings we can play tug of war or some more ball in the living room area. Once they are ready to relax we'll sit on the couch or floor and give them plenty of rubs and snuggles. If permitted on the bed they are welcome to sleep by me or wherever they normally do:)
