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.

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.
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.

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.
