Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle & Loving Care You Can Trust
I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own 3 year-old bundle of energy, regularly walking and caring for friends’ dogs, and over a year of volunteering at a dog shelter. There, I worked with a wide range of dogs - including puppies, senior dogs, and those who were anxious or still adjusting to new environments. This experience has helped me develop strong instincts and an ability to read a dog’s behavior and adapt to their individual needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing a slower pace, or a nervous dog requiring extra patience, I tailor my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I use positive reinforcement techniques such as verbal encouragement, play, and (with your permission) high-quality treats to create a positive and stress-free experience. My focus is on calm, structured walks and interactions that help build confidence and trust. Above all, safety is my top priority. I am attentive, reliable, and genuinely care about making every dog feel secure, happy, and well looked after.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shruti was wonderful with my dog Cozmo when she walked him 11 evenings in a row. She was very reliable and friendly and Cozmo got super excited every time she came to pick him up. I would not hesitate to book Shruti again.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays. I am available for evening walks and drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as more flexible availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure that every pet receives my full attention, without rushing. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and consistent.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I choose calm, low-traffic routes for walks and stay mindful of the dog’s comfort level, avoiding situations that may cause stress - such as crowded areas or unfamiliar dogs. I pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and my surroundings at all times. I stay fully present during walks and visits (no distractions) so I can respond quickly and appropriately to anything that comes up. I also follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, whether it’s preferred walking style, or specific triggers to avoid. My goal is to provide a consistent, safe, and stress-free experience that feels familiar and comfortable for your dog.
