A team of pet people, building the pet care we wished existed.
We're a Tamil Nadu team of caregivers, vet-techs, ops people and product folks, on a mission to make great pet care the default, not the exception.
Our story
It started with a dog my parents said no to.
I'm Karthi, from Kanchipuram. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than a dog. My parents weren't convinced. So during college, I stayed at a friend's kennel for two months and never quite left.
That became JK Kennels in Krishnagiri, in 2015. A small boarding setup, twelve dogs, one backyard. We learned the hard way what families actually need when they travel, and the gap in the market for someone who'd treat their pet like their own.
In 2022 we rebranded to PawSide and started bringing the service to your door. Grooming first, then training, walking, fresh food, taxi, and the gentle goodbye. Same team, same standards.
What we hold
Four values, kept simple.
We treat them like our own
If it doesn't feel right for our own pets, we don't send it. The bar is simple.
Background-verified, observed
Every caregiver is vetted, pet-first-aid trained, and observed on their first three visits.
Real humans, real fast
We call back within an hour. No chatbots, no ticket numbers. The phone is the support.
Quietly excellent
No flash, no show. The work speaks. We'd rather be recommended than advertised.
