Highlights
Pet care experience
Seniors + special needs welcome ♥️
I’ve loved animals my entire life and connecting with animals of all kinds is my greatest joy. Rescued is my favourite breed, and I specialize in watching senior pets and special needs pets. I have experience with seniors who require medications and particular care, as well as special needs, including but not limited to blind, deaf, and three-legged pets. I have a flexible work schedule and when I’m not at work, I’m a huge homebody and live alone, so your pet will get tons of one-on-one attention and love. I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own, and I only watch one dog at a time, so if your pet needs to be the sole pet, then we are a perfect fit. I do have one sweet senior guinea pig; she can be secured in another room if you’re worried about your pet bothering her. I absolutely love watching small pets as well and have tons of experience with guinea pigs.

Ratings and reviews
Amira did a great job taking care of my boy. She is caring, responsible and a great communicator. I will definitely use her again in the future!
Roxy had a great stay with Amira! She was so close and cared for. Amira had great communication, and Roxy was pampered and in excellent hands, I know we will rebook!
Such a great experience with Amira!! She updated me multiple times a day with photos and videos of my dog, took her on plenty of walks, and gave her lots of attention! Would 1000% rebook with Amira!
Amira was wonderful with Leo!
Amira was thoughtful and kind. A ton of pics were sent with daily updates. She’s a definite rebook for me!!
Finding Amira to pet sit was such a stroke of luck. She’s incredibly caring when it comes to the needs of our cat Bean (and his special diet), and a very considerate houseguest. She is quick to snap any pictures while we travel, and you can tell our (fairly picky) cat loves being around her. She has a natural way about her with pets. We definitely rest easy knowing she’s there when we’re away.

Schedule
Please note that I currently work hybrid and go into work 2-3x a week. However I only have to be there from 10-3, so your pet would only be alone for a max of five hours. Luckily my work is super flexible, so if I need to adjust my hours or office days for your pet, please let me know and I can adjust my schedule. My office is also super dog friendly, if you think they’d like to come with me!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My place is very quiet; I live alone and never have people over, and I’m home most of the time, so I’m great for anxious or shy pets. I also only board one dog at a time, so your pet will get 100% of my attention, which is also great for shy and nervous dogs who don’t do well with other dogs. (If you have two dogs I’m happy to watch them together, I just don’t watch dogs from different families at once.) I don’t have a backyard, but I do have a spacious balcony for your dog to sunbathe. I’m on the top floor and my building has an elevator, which is ideal for senior and special needs pups. Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment, from the couch to my bed, my home is their home.
A typical day
Your dog will always have a morning and evening walk with me. We can sunbathe on the balcony together, chase squirrels, or walk to the Sunday farmers market if your pup is on the social side.
