I want to see how your dog or cat reacts to me in their own space, where they have the control. This allows me to identify their specific triggers, favourite resting spots, and comfort levels, ensuring that when I step in for a full session, I am already a familiar face rather than a stranger. ### Why Connection Comes First Most people think pet care is just about tasks like feeding or walking. But if your pet is anxious, stressed, or confused, those tasks won't keep them calm. My approach, whether I am dog training or pet sitting, is built on body language and energy. I look for the signs—the tail tuck, the avoidance of eye contact, or the shift in posture—that tell me how your pet is really feeling. ### The Process: Meeting on Their Terms - **The Initial Hello:** I never force an interaction. Whether it’s a cat or a dog, I let them approach me. If they prefer to ignore me for the first twenty minutes, that is perfectly fine. - **Understanding the Environment:** Every home has a 'safe corner'—a spot where your pet goes to decompress. I make it a point to observe these habits so I can respect their boundaries. - **Building the Bridge:** Once I have established that I am a non-threatening presence, we start building the relationship through consistent, calm interactions. This is how we move from 'stranger' to 'trusted companion'. ### Where We Serve I am based in Karvenagar, Pune, and travel across the Pune and Mumbai Metropolitan Area. Whether you need in-home cat sitting or positive reinforcement dog training, my goal remains the same: a happy, calm pet who feels secure even when you are not there. If you are worried about leaving your pet, know that I focus on their routine first. I don't change how they live; I simply step in to maintain the rhythm they already know. ## About Waggology by Vedika Hi, I’m Vedika.
