About Sid

Heyyy there! We are Sid and Rona, a couple who absolutely loves animals, and honestly, our place just feels a little empty when there isn't a dog hanging around.

A little about Sid:

I grew up in India, where I was definitely that kid trying to feed every street dog I crossed paths with. When I was younger, I  took in a litter of seven orphaned puppies and fostered them until every single one got adopted. I’ve ended up doing similar rescues a few times since. I just have a huge soft spot for animals in need.

A little about Rona:

I'm just as passionate, plus I bring some serious hands-on experience to the table. I used to work at a shelter where I took care of everything from sheep to huge, sometimes aggressive dogs. I'm incredibly patient and know exactly how to handle pups that might need a calm, confident approach. I have been trained by growing up near dogs and cats all my life. 

Our Setup & Services:

Because we love having pets around so much, we’re already the designated dog-sitters for our friends. We usually have a buddy staying with us for at least a week out of every month!

We live in an apartment, so while we don't have a backyard for crazy zoomies, we make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. We love walking and usually take the dogs out 4 to 5 times a day. It is a total win-win: it keeps the daily step count ticking up on my Fitbit Air, and it gives your dog plenty of nice outdoor sniff and bathroom sessions! Back at home, we have a balcony where your dog is more than welcome to sunbathe whenever it isn't raining.

If your dog prefers their own space, we are also completely open to coming over to your place to take care of your cutie there.

Availability & Dog Sizes:

Your pet will rarely be left alone. Rona works four days a week, and I work from home every single day, meaning we offer near-constant companionship. As for size, we aren't entirely sure of an absolute maximum for our apartment, but the largest dog we’ve hosted so far was a Border Collie, and she fit into our space and routine with zero problems!

Whether your dog is a giant goofball, a tiny couch potato, or a rescue who needs a little extra understanding, we’ve got two pairs of hands ready to dish out treats and belly rubs.

Shoot us a message—we’d love to meet you and your pet!
