Grad student and love pets!

Pet care experience

I have owned a dog for 15 years and have experience as a dog walker and pet sitter for the past 8 years. I love taking care of all all pets big and small! I personally can't own a pet since I'm still in school, but I want to help out owners who need someone to fill in when they are away on vacation, work or with friends. I would be happy to help with any type of pet care that your animal may need and am open to all sizes of pets. I'm a current graduate student studying Immunology at Georgetown University. I work part time as a research assistant and as a TA on-campus in addition to going to school. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

This is the 2nd time we have used Gayatri! She leaves the house clean and takes SUCH good care of our Pickles. I never worry when she is watching him :)

She did a great job taking care of Pickels! He was happy when we returned and the place looked great!

Gayatri was a great sitter! One of my dogs has a very difficult medical regimen that includes shots in different amounts depending on the meal as well as multiple pills that he doesn’t like to take. Gayatri had no issue following the instructions and didn’t even need clarification while I was away. We returned home to three happy, we’ll cared for animals and a well cared for house (dishwasher was run!)

Information Gayatri S. would like to know about your pet

I ask that pet owners let me know if their pet has any special medications, food, or living arrangements that they prefer. I know many pets can be uneasy while being away from their owners and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love to go on short and long walks and days at the beach in montrose with your pups favorite toys. I also enjoy making enrichment activities for your pet.
