A PhD student and a dog named Hazel
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Shruti is very caring and considerate of my dog who has separation anxiety. She worked with me to find the best solution for her. I've already booked her this time for an extended stay while I am travelling.
Shruti did an amazing job with Prince! She treated him just like her own dog. He was well cared for and loved. She sent nice pictures while I was away. I don’t think Prince missed me at all; he was so happy with Shruti.
Great experience, our dog was in great hands and we received many updates during the stay. Highly recommend!!!
Shruti and her dog Hazel took great care of my dog! I loved the photos she sent; they made me feel great about the care my dog was getting!

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).

Information Shruti D. would like to know about your pet
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.
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. I have a few dog parks within 2 miles of my house and I have taken my dog Hazel there every so often. If you are comfortable with that I have no problem taking your dog to the park free of charge.

Availability
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.
