Founder of lovely paws

Indira is a professional dog walker + pet sitter with over twenty years of dedicated experience in the pet care business.

She is an avid animal lover who has always been passionate about the well-being of animals, and is always seeking out new ways to better be of service.

On top of running her own successful pet care business, she volunteers at animal shelters, and is looking at paths towards animal rescue.

Indira began dog walking + pet sitting at the age of eight, when a neighbor needed help walking her black lab named Dahlia. It was then that Indira fell in love with this work, and she has been pursuing it ever since.

Over the last twenty years, Indira has worked with animals of all breeds and sizes. Including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, rodents, reptiles + farm animals.

Indira has learned from hands-on experience but has also taken classes on dog + cat behavioral studies, body language courses, harness safety, heat stroke prevention, and she has dog CPR certification.

Indira’s very first dog walking client at the age of eight!

She would take Dahlia on lengthy walks around the neighborhood for $1. This created a long lasting love for working with animals.
