Hello! I am Varun, and my motivation for pet sitting comes from a deep, genuine love for animals of all kinds. I believe that pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the utmost kindness, patience, and respect. Pets usually take to me quickly because of my calm, positive, and grounded energy, which helps them feel secure and comfortable even when their owners are away.

I have practical experience caring for dogs in different settings. Back in India, I held a summer dog walking job where I looked after various breeds, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and stayed safe on their routes. Additionally, I regularly take care of my neighbours' dog when they travel, handling everything from feeding and companionship to their daily routines. 

My walks are typically 15 to 30 minutes long, tailored entirely to the dog's stamina, and I can accommodate a maximum of 2 to 3 walks per day. I usually walk dogs in local parks and green spaces where they can safely enjoy nature, but I am equally comfortable using quiet neighbourhood roads for calmer, more structured outings.

As I am currently a student living in student accommodation, I am unable to host or take any pets into my own home. However, I am incredibly flexible and more than happy to do absolutely anything else required. 

My university schedule is highly convenient; I only have lectures on Fridays, meaning I am completely free and fully available all day from Saturday through to Thursday. For home visits, I typically stay for up to an hour to ensure your pet is well-fed, comfortable, and has plenty of companionship.

I firmly believe that pets mirror our energy, so if a pet is nervous or anxious, the very first thing I do is ground myself to remain a reassuring presence. 

Once, when a dog I was walking became terrified by sudden thunder, I stayed completely relaxed, spoke to him quietly and softly, and successfully calmed him down right away. 

For total peace of mind, I always carry water and treats with me for immediate care on walks, and should an emergency ever arise, my instant priority is to contact you immediately while rushing your pet to the nearest veterinary clinic for professional attention.
