About Rishab

Hi! I’m Rishab — a lifelong animal lover who has spent decades surrounded by pets and caring for them like family.

My journey with animals started at just one year old with two German Shepherds who helped shape my earliest memories. Later on, my family welcomed another German Shepherd, so caring for large, loyal, high-energy dogs has always felt natural to me.

At 18, my brother adopted two cats, and I became their primary sitter — sometimes for months at a time, including a six-month stretch while he moved overseas. Those long stays taught me how unique every cat’s personality is and how important patience, routine, and connection are.

Today, my partner and I are proud pet parents to our little Torti , BonBon, named after a biscuit from back home(because she's a white and brown cutie!). Loving her has made me truly understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you’re away. It’s why I take pet sitting so seriously.

From ages 14–17, I also trained in horse riding and worked with young colts and fillies, even guiding new riders. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and stay calm around animals of all sizes.

Why I Want to Be a Pet Sitter

I genuinely love being around animals and value the moment when a pet finally connects with you — that quiet trust, that spark of recognition. As a pet parent myself, I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family behind. That’s why I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I would want for myself.

My goal is to make sure you can travel or take time away completely stress-free, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and understood. I want your animals to feel comfortable, cared for, and emotionally supported, not just supervised.

What You Can Expect

  • A calm, gentle, and patient approach
  • Experience with large dogs and even independent cats
  • Daily updates and photos so you’re never left wondering
  • Someone who treats your pet with the same affection and respect I give my own
  • Ensuring the safety of your dog on walk (they always come first) and a good bit of exercise

I’d love to meet your furry friend and make their time away from you as happy and stress-free as possible.
