About Rakshana

Animals have always been a big part of my life. Back home in India, I have a 5-year-old Beagle who is truly a member of my family. Leaving him behind when I moved to Germany was tough, and I still miss him every day.

I didn't become a pet sitter just to fill my schedule; I genuinely miss the presence of animals, and spending time with dogs and cats makes me feel a little closer to home. When I think about my own dog, I know I would want him to be cared for with immense patience, genuine affection, and attentive companionship not just a quick bowl of food and a rushed walk. That is exactly the golden standard of care I bring to your pets.

I am calm, observant, and reliable. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, boundaries, and quirks so they feel safe, respected, and thoroughly loved in my care.

What I Offer: Services & What’s Included

  • Overnight Boarding (24-Hour Care in My Home): Your pet stays overnight in my quiet, cozy apartment. Includes personalized feeding, multiple daily walks, unstructured playtime, cozy sleeping arrangements, and 24/7 loving companionship so they never feel lonely overnight.
  • Dog Walking (30 to 60 minutes): A brisk, engaging walk tailored to your dog's energy level. Includes fresh water refills, paw wiping when returning indoors, and plenty of sniffing time along green trails.
  • Drop-in Visits for Cats & Dogs (30 or 60 minutes): Perfect for feeding, fresh water changes, litter box scooping/waste cleanup, administering basic routines, and providing engaging playtime or quiet lap companionship in your home.
  • Daycare: Half-day or full-day care at my apartment during working hours, keeping your pet entertained, walked, and relaxed while you are busy.

Which Pets Suit My Setup

  • Pets I Welcome:
    • Dogs: Small to medium-sized dogs (up to ~20 kg) who are comfortable living in an apartment, house-trained, and friendly or peaceful.
    • Cats: All indoor cats! I am very comfortable with both energetic, playful felines and gentle, shy kitties who just need a quiet space to feel secure.
  • Pets That Aren't a Fit:
    • Very large or giant dog breeds (due to apartment size).
    • Dogs with severe separation anxiety or destructive behaviour when left alone for short periods.
    • Dogs that bark excessively or continuously, out of respect for neighbours.

Practical Details & My Home Setup

  • Home Environment: I live in a bright, clean, and spacious 48 m² 2.5-room apartment in Rodenkirchen, Cologne. It is situated in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood surrounded by green spaces. We are just a short walk from the Rhine River and a lovely local park—ideal for peaceful walks, fresh air, and overnight stays.
  • Safety & Overnight Care: Only one client’s pet(s) will be hosted at a time, ensuring my full, undivided attention. Your pet is welcome to rest on comfortable dog beds or right near me in the living room/bedroom.
  • Availability & Flexibility: I am currently learning German at the VHS, so my schedule is super flexible for daytime visits, walking, and overnight stays on both weekdays and weekends.
  • Languages & Communication: I speak English fluently, my German is improving every day, and I always send regular photo and video updates so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.
