Dog Boarding
Metta Dog Homestay
I board dogs in my home, keep their routine the same, and give them personal attention with regular updates so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About Dog Boarding
I don't run a kennel - my place is a home where your dog can be themselves and feel safe. Boarding isn't just about keeping a dog company, it’s about understanding what makes them tick and making sure they’re comfortable while you’re away.
How I Look After Dogs
- I stick to your dog's normal routine - meals, walks, potty breaks, all of it. Dogs thrive on predictability, so I make sure nothing feels too different for them.
- Walks twice a day, playtime, and lots of snuggles keep them busy and happy.
- If your dog loves chilling, there's a couch or bed for their naps and plenty of balcony time for some pigeon-watching.
- I send regular updates and photos so you can check in - no FOMO.
Getting to Know Each Other
I always set up a 'meet and greet' before a stay. It’s a quick way to help your dog feel comfortable with me, so there’s no stress when you leave.
Tell Me Everything
I need all the details - quirks, triggers, health stuff, leash habits, anxiety. The more I know, the better I can care for them. I’m especially patient with anxious or rescue pups (thoda samay aur pyaar dete hain - give a little extra time and love). Not every day is perfect, but I work out what your dog needs.
Home-style dog boarding and cage-free pet care aren’t just buzzwords for me - it’s how I make your dog feel at home.

My Story
Hey, I'm Aditi. Three years running She By The Snout and honestly, every new dog I meet, it’s like starting fresh. I’ve learned loads, unlearned even more – dogs keep surprising me. Sometimes it’s tough, sometimes it’s a blast, but I always want to get better. I once skipped my flight just to hang with other dog trainers – worth it! Still get butterflies before every new meet. That’s why I do this.
My Work
Pet sitting and home dog boarding - I offer in-home pet sitting for dogs and cats, plus home dog boarding if your pup needs a place.
First meet matters - I always meet your dog with you first, so I’m not just the person who shows up when you leave.
Keeping their routine steady - Your pet’s routine doesn’t change with me. Familiar food, walks, cuddles, all in their own space.
Tell me the real stuff - Let me know everything—quirks, triggers, anxiety care for dogs. It helps me give them the best time.
More than just a sitter - I get attached. We walk, play, maybe splash in puddles. Your pet’s comfort and fun come first.
