Safety, trust & environment

I live in a comfortable one bed apartment in Herndon. I have a great community where i can take the pet for a walk as well. I am very well versed with feeding pets and giving medicines if any. I am happy to board pets while parents are travelling. I will be sharing timely pictures with the pet parents of their fur babies and keep them updated. I make sure to follow care instructions carefully. I also get on greet and meet calls or set up direct meetings with pet parents to know them and their pets ( whatever suits the parents)

Information Akshata S. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer if pet parents give me proper instructions on their babies behaviour, if they spray around, snap or any specific care instructions in advance to avoid any accidents. I have dealt with snappy dogs but getting a headsup would definitely help.

A typical day

I would take them for timely loo breaks. Play some mind stimulating games indoors. I have a car so can take them to the nearby parks.

Pawsitively Perfect Pet Care

Cat care experience

I have always been a dog mom, but in 2021 I adopted a cat too who had seizures. With over 15 + years of experience caring for my own pets and nurturing strays and community animals back in India, i bring genuine compassion, patience and deep understanding to pet boarding/ sitting. Its not just a service - its a heartfelt connection. Your pets will be treated like family, because that is how i have always cared for mind.

Akshata is outstanding. She’s incredibly gentle, patient, and genuinely loving with my dog, and it shows every single time. She communicates quickly, gives thoughtful updates, and always makes sure I know how my dog is doing. What I appreciate most is how reliable and attentive she is she follows instructions perfectly and notices the small things that matter. I never worry when my dog is with her; I know she’s safe, cared for, and treated like family. Anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and truly compassionate sitter would be lucky to have her.

I am delighted to recommend Akshata Salian for any pet sitting opportunity. As someone who truly adores dogs and treats every animal with deep love and care, she is a natural fit for this role. I’ve personally seen how gentle, responsible, and attentive Akshata is —not just with her own fur babies but with every animal she meets. She has a calming presence that animals immediately respond to, and her kindness and patience makes her especially trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your fur baby like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Akshata Salian.

You can trust her completely, and your furry friend will be in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, Akshata is the one. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy pet!
