About Priya Nakamura
I trained and worked as a veterinary nurse, and I still think like one. Medication schedules, mobility problems and the slow decline that comes with age are familiar ground rather than something I would be nervous taking on. I am comfortable with senior animals, post-surgical care and anything that needs dosing to the clock, and I will always call your vet before I guess.
What I offer in Columbus is drop-in visits, doggy day care and dog walking. I look after dogs and cats alike, which helps when you have both and would rather not split them between two sitters. I stick to dogs under 15 lb, because that is what my home and my handling suit. My calendar on this page is the real one, so if a date shows as free it is free. There is always a quiet room available if a pet needs to be somewhere on its own for a while, and I will use it rather than force company on an animal that does not want it.
Each visit covers the practical things and then some actual company, which is the part that gets skipped when someone is rushing. I do not count the minutes down to the second, but I do turn up inside the window every time. Expect regular photos and an honest note on how the day went — including the days that were a bit off, because those are the ones you most need to know about.
Before any booking I ask for a meet-and-greet so your pet can size me up on neutral ground and you can ask whatever you need to. I take your vet's details, your emergency contact and any consent I might need to act on, and I keep all of it to hand. Do ask me anything before you book. I would far rather answer ten questions now than have either of us find out we are mismatched later.
