My husband Tarun and I are passionate animal lovers, having both grown up with dogs and cats as an integral part of our families. We currently share our home with our adorable three-year-old cat, Bo, who is very much a part of our family. Over the years, we’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for friends and neighbours when they’re away, as it gives us the joy of spending time with more furry companions. We’ve been living on the North Shore for the past seven years, after moving here from India, and have truly made it our home. Both of us work full-time—Tarun in Operations and myself in Human Resources. We also have a two-year-old son who has inherited our love for animals and is always excited to be around them. Weekends are often spent exploring local beaches and enjoying the outdoors together as a family. Animals always bring warmth and joy to our lives.
