Your pet is family — and we treat them that way
Handing your pet to a stranger is hard.

How do I book pet care in Kolkata?
Open the Zaruri Hai app, tap Pet Care, choose the service and your pet's details, and pick a slot. A verified carer arrives (or hosts your pet), and you get updates throughout. Booking takes under two minutes.

Pet grooming at home
A full salon-style grooming session at your door — no stressful trip to a parlour. Suitable for dogs and cats of all breeds, including breed-specific cuts. The groomer brings everything — tub, dryer, towels and products — and cleans up after, so your home is left exactly as it was.

Dog walking
Busy schedule? Our walkers give your dog the exercise, fresh air and social time they need to stay healthy and happy. Choose one-off or regular walks, with updates so you can see your dog enjoyed their outing.
Pet boarding (cageless)
Travelling? Your pet stays in a safe, comfortable, cage-free home environment — not a cramped kennel. Ideal for a weekend or longer, for both dogs and cats, with regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're in loving hands.
Pet sitting & drop-in visits
Prefer your pet to stay in their own home? A carer visits to feed, walk, play and cuddle them while you're out or away — keeping their routine and comfort intact, with updates after each visit.

Vet at home & online consultation
Skip the stressful clinic trip. Get routine check-ups, vaccinations, health advice and minor concerns handled by a vet at your home, or a quick online consultation for guidance. The calm, convenient way to keep your pet healthy. (For emergencies, please visit a veterinary hospital.)
Dog training
Build better behaviour and social skills with positive-reinforcement training — obedience, basic commands and common behaviour issues — delivered at home or online by experienced trainers, at your pet's pace.
Why grooming at home beats a salon
Doorstep grooming is better for most pets:
- your pet stays calm in its own home — no travel or new-place anxiety
- no contact with other, possibly sick, animals at a parlour
- you can watch the whole session
- your home stays clean — the groomer brings everything and cleans up
What's included in a grooming session?
A complete top-to-tail groom:
- bath with pet-safe shampoo and blow-dry
- haircut / trim (breed-specific on request)
- nail trimming and grinding
- ear cleaning and eye cleaning
- teeth cleaning
- paw and pad trimming
- de-shedding and tick/flea treatment on request
How long does a grooming session take?
A full groom usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on your pet's size, coat and temperament. Long-haired and large breeds, or pets that need extra patience, take a little longer. The groomer keeps it calm and unhurried so your pet stays comfortable.
How often should you groom your pet?
It depends on coat and breed:
- full grooming — every 4–8 weeks for most dogs; long-coated breeds more often
- nail trimming — every 2–4 weeks, before they cause pain or injury
- brushing — regularly at home between sessions
Cats benefit from grooming too, especially long-haired breeds prone to matting.
Why regular pet care matters
Grooming isn't just looks — it's health. Unwashed fur traps dirt, allergens and bacteria that spread through your home; overgrown nails cause pain, difficulty walking and injuries; and a neglected coat hides ticks, fleas, matting, ear infections and dental problems. Regular care keeps your pet comfortable, healthy and hygienic — and your home cleaner.
Verified, pet-loving carers
Every carer is background-verified and experienced, chosen because they genuinely love animals. They handle anxious, senior and young pets with patience and care — the kind of people who treat your pet like their own. (See how we verify every pet carer.)
Photo and video updates
Peace of mind comes standard. During grooming, walks and boarding you get photo and video updates — and walk tracking — so you can see your pet is calm, cared for and having a good time, even when you can't be there.
Safe, caring and reliable
Your pet's safety is the priority. Carers follow gentle handling and hygiene practices, and our support team is there if anything's not right. Every booking is backed by our satisfaction commitment — if you're not happy, we'll make it right.
Dogs, cats and more
We care for dogs and cats of every breed, size and temperament — from tiny puppies and kittens to large and senior pets — with grooming, walking, boarding and vet services suited to each.
How much do pet care services cost in Kolkata?
Pricing depends on the service, and on your pet's size, breed and coat. You see the price upfront in the app.
| Service | Indicative price* |
|---|---|
| Pet grooming at home | ₹600–₹2,000 (by size, breed, coat) |
| Dog walking | ₹100–₹300 per walk |
| Pet boarding (cageless) | ₹300–₹800 per night |
| Pet sitting / drop-in | ₹150–₹400 per visit |

| Dog training | per session / package |
*Final price depends on the service and your pet. Your exact price shows in the app before you confirm.
Do I pay an advance to book?
Pricing is transparent and shown before you book. For grooming, walking and vet visits you generally pay after the service; boarding may be confirmed in advance, shown clearly upfront — never a hidden charge.
What do I need for a home grooming visit?
Almost nothing — the groomer brings the tub, dryer, towels and grooming products, and cleans up after. We only ask for access to water and a small space (a bathroom or balcony works well) for the session.
Helping your pet stay relaxed
A calm pet makes for a better groom. Before the visit, let your pet have a toilet break and some playtime to settle, keep the area quiet, and tell the groomer about any anxieties, sensitive spots, allergies or health issues. The carer takes it slow with nervous pets.

Yes. We provide full salon-style grooming at your home for dogs and cats of all breeds — bath, haircut, nails, ears, eyes, teeth and de-shedding — and the groomer brings everything and cleans up after.
