About Taru
Hi! I’m Tharushi, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I offer dog sitting and dog walking services in Tampere and surrounding areas. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I understand that leaving your furry friend can be stressful, so I always provide a caring, fun, and reliable experience for every dog in my care.
During a typical dog sitting day, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and personal attention. I closely follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest periods. Depending on your dog’s energy level, we may enjoy long walks in nearby parks, play fetch in a safe open area, or relax with cuddle time at home. I also include mental stimulation activities such as scent games or simple puzzle toys to keep dogs engaged and happy.
For dog walking, I provide safe and structured walks tailored to your dog’s size, energy level, and behavior. Dogs are always kept on a leash unless you instruct otherwise for a secure off-leash area. I allow time for sniffing and exploring, bring water for hydration, use treats for positive reinforcement, and always clean up after your dog. Each walk is designed to be enjoyable, active, and rewarding.
What makes my service special is my genuine love for dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own, offering lots of reassurance, affection, and attention. I also send regular photo and video updates through another platform, so you can feel relaxed knowing your dog is well cared for.
I’m happy to travel within Tampere city and nearby neighborhoods for walks or pick-ups. Whether your dog needs a short walk, full-day care, or overnight sitting, I provide a trustworthy and flexible service.
In addition to walking and sitting, I offer extra care and enrichment, including playtime with favorite toys, gentle grooming, and calm relaxation time. Every dog receives personalized care based on their personality and needs.
I also have volunteer experience with rescued dogs from Embark in Sri Lanka, where I learned how to handle dogs with different personalities using patience, understanding, and love. I’m confident handling friendly and energetic dogs, understand canine body language, and know how to keep dogs calm, safe, and happy.
Finally, my home provides a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ideal for dogs to relax and feel comfortable. It’s a calm space with a positive atmosphere, making it a great place for pets to feel at home while you’re away.
Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities, and I’m committed to providing professional, loving, and reliable dog care.
