As my usual petsitter wasn't available for a few days, I needed to find a reliable petsitter on a short notice who could take great care of my dog and then drop her off to her usual petsitter while i was away. And Harini did all of the above flawlessly. Communication was perfect: She replied quickly to my enquiry, sent me lots of photos and updates of my dog during the stay and when she dropped her off to the other petsitter. Harini and her husband love dogs and it shows. They brought my dog to numerous walks and gave her snuggles when needed.

Sure! Here’s a glowing review for your pet minder: --- I recently had the pleasure of leaving my beloved dog in the care of an amazing family, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I met them, I felt at ease knowing my furry friend would be in good hands. Throughout my time away, they sent daily pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease and made me feel connected to my pet. It was clear from the updates that my dog was having a fantastic time, enjoying long walks and visits to the park. The love and attention they gave my dog were evident in every update, and it was such a relief to know that my pet was not only being taken care of but was also having a great time. The family went above and beyond to ensure my dog’s happiness and well-being. I highly recommend this wonderful family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet minder. Their dedication and passion for animals are truly exceptional. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
