Highlights
Pet care experience
A PhD student and a dog named Hazel
I adopted my dog after volunteering at an animal shelter in Houston. Once I met her I knew she was the one. Having worked at an animal shelter I saw all sorts of dogs, big and small and know how to handle reactive dogs or dogs with disabilities. Furthermore with rainy Baltimore weather I have towels as well as brain puzzles to make sure your dogs are never bored!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shruti was great with Bear. She sent photos and kept us updated and was very flexible with our requests and with pick up and drop off - We'll definitely use her again!
My dog had a great time with Shruti and she was very accommodating to my schedule!
Love the care and pictures Shruti shared during our dog’s stay. Would definitely book again.
I had a good experience w/ Shruti watching my dog for a few hours. She was responsive to my messages, affable and easy to work with. I would use Shruti again to look after Phife.
Shruti is a wonderful pet sitter, she did send me pictures daily of Pennie to let me know she is doing fine. Pennie was very comfortable at their home, she was laid next to her dog Hazel relaxing. I am truly using Shruti again for all my pet sitting needs. Shruti is a nice, kind and pleasant young lady.
Shruti was so responsive and reliable, and my anxious girl warmed up and felt right at home!

Schedule
I am currently a graduate student- and can easily balance my time with school and taking care of your dog ! I always make sure that I give my dog breaks and attention so my schedule is very flexible. Having my own dog has helped me carve out enough time within my week and weekends that make it very easy to add another dog to my schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My dog is allowed on my bed and furniture and yours will be as well. I take care of one dog at a time so my focus will be to make sure your dog gets the care it deserves. While I do not crate my dog, if your dog is crated I have the space for it and will crate them as instructed. I have a doggy gate as well and can separate my home so dogs have their own space as needed. I have a variety of dog toys, which other dogs have enjoyed playing with while staying with me. My home is wooden floors with machine washable rugs, so there is no concern if your dog has an accident (especially out of nervousness at a new place). My boyfriend Shawn works from home and gives loves giving lots of play and attention to your dog during the day so anxious dogs are never alone for extended periods. However, I am primary caretaker.
Pets
A typical day
I will make sure the activity level of the dog is considered for exercise and play! For my dog: I take her out for 3 potty breaks or more depending on time. With one long walk during the day. I will take her on at least a mile walking on a day with good weather- maybe more if time permitting. If you have a membership at BarkSocial in Canton, I can take your dog there with mine !

- If there is a specific behavior or something to note please share with me. We can have our dogs meet prior to a pet sitting event. My dog is always excited for new friends and loves sharing her bed and toys. Also please provide food/ water bowl that your pet is comfortable with. If there is a crate they need to be kept in when I leave for a few hours please provide one as well.
