Information Parul R. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate knowing whether the dog has special needs so that I can best accommodate it and determine if I am the best caretaker for your pup.

A typical day

Whenever I am hosting pets, I try to spend as much quality time with them as possible. I love to take dogs around around my neighborhood. I take plenty of time to play with the dogs I host, whether it's to play with their toys or help them practice commands. Since I live right by campus and prefer studying at home, no dog who stays with me is lonely!

Pet care experience

I was born into a house of three beautiful golden retrievers, and that's where my love for dogs began. I'm a medical student now, and I love to have other dogs over to play with my Great Pyrenees puppy, Tina. I have watched my friends' dogs for weeks at a time, and I always build a great bond with their pets. As a student, I don't have a typical 9-5 schedule; I prefer studying from home. If I have to go to campus, I am just a mile down the street.

Parul and her boyfriend gave my dog a wonderful weekend! She has separation anxiety and it was the first time we left here with a sitter, but they took her running every day and made sure she was well taken care of.

My sweet old dog experienced some digestive issues during her stay. I was updated regularly and felt Parlu was compassionate and willing to go the extra mile to make Bella feel better and comfortable. It was not the stay I’m sure they imagined but were kind and attentive throughout. Thank you ?

Parul was great! Very easy and pleasant to communicate with, accommodating of last-minute changes and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with my dogs. I highly recommend and hope my dogs can stay with her on my next trip.

I got a German shepherd mix from the shelter. He was fine at the shelter, but after 10 days he started biting people including me! He bit me so deep I had to go to the doctor. I did not want to bring him back so I hired many trainers and behavior specialists to help me with him. Each had had their own training techniques and and advise, but one thing they ALL agreed was that I should NOT let anyone pet him So when I walked with him and people asked if they could pet my dog I said no. When my friends came over I put him in his crate. He could not be around people. During this time I had a family emergency and had to travel. My vet who knows him said we could do a “test” board to see if I could leave him there. He was aggressive with the staff and the vet said I could not board him. I was in a huge bind. One of my friends told me about Parul so I called her. I explained my situation, and said she would pet sit my dog. I taught her some of the techniques I learned from the trainer and how to reward him with treats. When I returned home Parul reported no issues with my dog. She said he was friendly and very sweet! She obviously had a special way with him. I have had Parul pet sit for my dog several times since and I have noticed he is friendlier with people in general now. It must be her way with animals. I recommend Parul completely!
