“We had a lunch meeting that was postponed last minute and needed literally last minute help with our girls as it was after the check out time. Natasha was great in responding promptly and was also able to have Neerav to pick the girls up and drop them off after three hours. They are true life savers. Also sent pictures on the girls on their activities!”

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up with dogs taught me to understand their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities, and that bond has stayed with me throughout my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether it’s playing, walking, or simply providing a comforting presence. After moving to the U.S., I started working as a dog sitter and have since gained over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Through this, I’ve learned how to help dogs adjust to new environments, maintain their routines, and feel safe and comfortable even when away from home. I believe in patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to build trust and make every pup feel at ease. Whether it’s keeping up with their exercise needs, providing companionship, or just giving them plenty of affection, I strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both dogs and their owners. I work fully remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to provide personalized care and attention. I take dogs out at least twice a day for 30+ minutes, but I’m happy to adjust based on their energy levels and needs. To ensure each dog receives the best care, my rates are based on their size and needs: • Small dogs (≤25 lbs): $43/day • Medium dogs (26-59 lbs): $50/day • Large dogs (60+ lbs): $55/day With over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, I truly love spending time with them, and their well-being is my top priority. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I make sure to structure my day around the dogs’ needs, ensuring they get enough exercise, playtime, and attention. • Morning Routine: I start the day with feeding, followed by a morning walk to help the dogs burn off energy and start the day on a positive note. • Midday Activities: Depending on the dog’s energy level, I engage them in interactive play, training reinforcement, or another walk if needed. If I have daycare clients, I ensure they have a fun and structured day. • Evening Routine: Dinner is followed by a relaxed walk and some downtime, where I make sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. On a weekly basis, I schedule time for cleaning and sanitizing the space, maintaining a safe and hygienic environment. Since I also enjoy fitness and staying active, taking care of dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle, as it keeps me moving and engaged. My goal is always to make sure the dogs in my care feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is my top priority. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I ensure that every dog feels at home while in my care. Safety First • My home is a pet-friendly space with no hazards, and I always supervise dogs during playtime to prevent accidents. • Walks are done with secure leashes, and I only take dogs to safe, appropriate areas. • I follow each pet’s dietary needs and feeding schedule to maintain their health and prevent any digestive issues. Building Trust • I take time to understand each dog’s personality, preferences, and any special needs they may have. • Positive reinforcement and patience help me build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs. • Regular updates and photos are sent to owners so they feel assured their pets are happy and well cared for. Comfortable & Clean Environment • Dogs have a cozy space to rest, with clean bedding and access to fresh water at all times. • Daily exercise and playtime are provided to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. • I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly sanitizing areas where pets eat, sleep, and play. Whether boarding at my home or providing daycare, I strive to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.




9. Victoria B.

“Victoria has been wonderful with Jake, she is very attentive toward Jake’s temperament given he is very shy and timid towards strangers. Using her good judgement, she put into consideration when to take Jake for a walk during his stay with her and for how long considering the warm temperature. Victoria also made sure she did everything right following how I usually spend my days with Jake. I will definitely use her service again.”


10. Iman C.
“Iman is an absolutely stellar pet sitter! She's the only one I trust to watch my fur baby Peter, especially for overnights. She's attentive, feeds him on time, plays with him and he adores spending time with her when I'm away! You can certainly count on her for your pet care needs, I guarantee that.”

“Gargi & Sourav gave our new puppy, Koda, a great day of care. They were extremely accommodating of our schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They also shares pictures throughout the day so we knew how he was doing.”


12. Andrea R.

“Elton was well taken care of during his doggy daycare stay with Andrea. It went smoothly and I appreciate the care and company he had!”


13. Jesse S.

“Jesse was so great with my dog Magoo! He sent abunch of pictures and Magoo left the day happy. I’ll definitely be using Jesse again as a full day sitter for Magoo while I’m in the office!”


14. Tammy L.
“Tammy is highly organized and professional. She quickly builds a bond with all the dogs she looks after and is able to give constant attention and a lot of exercise, which is particularly important for highly energetic dogs like Hunter and hard to find in the city! She’s also diligent about keeping me updated with pictures regularly!”


15. Pratik V.

“Our pup had a great time with Pratik! Pratik was sending us updates often throughout the day and gave us quick replies whenever we asked. Would drop Chai off again with him without hesitation!”

“Tharani was great! Very kind and easy to work with, and my dog loved her. Thank you!”


17. Caren H.

“Caren did a great job taking care of my 11 month old puppy Cassie. She was able to manage three dogs at once with no issues and made sure to ask all the right questions before agreeing to sit multiple dogs at once. I felt very comfortable leaving Cassie in her hands and would use her services again.”


18. Khush & Mamta W.


“Khush & Mamta are amazing, they took care of my dog, Jake, on Saturday when I was out in the city. The moment they took Jake in, they updated me right away with a picture on how Jake was doing, so I felt immediately at ease knowing my baby was settling in alright. They provided communication and updates throughout the day, there was never a moment I had to wonder how things were with Jake. I also very much appreciate their flexibility, I had to change the pick up schedule three times which eventually got late too from the last promised pick up time I communicated due to train delay. Khush & Mamta were very accommodating with these schedule changes. And the fact they are located just across my building is a huge bonus. I will definitely use their service again!”


19. Danielle G.

“Danielle has such great energy . She is kind , trustworthy and seams like a natural with animals . It takes sometime for Freye to open up to new people but almost instantly my Freya felt comfortable with Danielle. Danielle provided videos , pictures and updates in real time that helped me know what was going on. Danielle went above and beyond for my little Freya and is highly recommended. I will defiantly be using Danielle again !”


20. Pooja B.

“Pooja is wonderful. She has been taking great care of my 3.5 year old dog. Pooja is caring and friendly. She is flexible to work with - made it easy to arrange drop off/pick up. Most importantly, my dog seems very comfortable around her.”
