Safety, trust & environment

We own a playpen, so if your pet is staying home with us and you'd prefer, we can put your pet in the playpen for the night! Otherwise we usually have them in bed with us, or feel it out depending on how our pets get along. Sometimes they prefer their own safe space. I feed them in separate spaces, yours would be in the playpen, while mine is out on her usual spot. Once fed, I pick up the food and feed accordingly. Usually sharing a water bowl, I give them their own but they end up drinking from the same ones. We play with pets almost all day long. If you want us to enforce some training we can, jus let me know your training method! We'd hate to mess up your routine!

Information Fatima L. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs, medication or medical care that we need to be aware of, please let us know! We do prefer smaller breeds or puppies! We are very familiar with puppies and small breeds such as teacups, toys, and normal small breeds like Chihuahuas, Shihutzus, Peekapoos, etc.

A typical day

I’m very socially anxious when I’m outside so days out would be done when my partner is back from work, other than that, we play, and snuggle all day at home. I take them out to a small space provided by my building for potty breaks on my own.

Certified Pet Sitter! XS-Med Pets!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! -My name is Fatima, I'm a Certified Pet Sitter, I did it through Hostos! -This account is run by me (Fatima) but it's worked on by my partner and I, his name is Anthony, he helps me out with your pets but they're mainly with me. -We have, a teacup Maltese, and a budgie that stays in her cage. -My partner and I are well experienced with rodents, avian, dogs and cats, but at this moment we're only able to take in small pets, kittens or small-med dogs! -We live in an apartment with roommates, so our sitting is done in our bedroom, though I do take them to the kitchen with me and keep it safe for them. -We also have a playpen, in which we introduce my dog and your pet to each other, without risking any fighting or just bad first impressions. -Potty Trained please! We don't accept dogs that will try marking territory. --If anything please contact me, we're usually available and understanding-- *PLEASE READ* **No aggressive cats or dogs please! **We don't take in big dogs because of space, unfortunately. **We ONLY take puppies and small breeds, our pup is only 7lbs and has joint problems. So for her safety, and comfort maximum weight is 13lbs! Depending on the energy, we might be able to accept around 16lbs. **Calmer dogs and kittens preferred, our dog is very easily agitated by high energy, sniffing and playing is fine, just doesn’t like being pounced or sniffed on. Cuddle bugs are her go to’s. We have a small room so we try to keep everyone happy and safe! **Please contact me if you're interested or have any questions! -My prices are low to accommodate those who are able to qualify for my requirements, so as a thank you, my prices are low. I'm responsible and careful, and kind to your fur babies, but I know it's a lot to ask for, and not many will be able to fit the mold.- ------More about us below------ -At my previous job I was a puppy/kitty groomer, the ages ranged from 2 months - 1 year, but I also have experience with older pup grooming because I'd help out my co-worker. But I don't have fancy equipment, just clippers, a blowdryer, dog shampoo, conditioner, dental, eat and paw care. I also have experience dealing with more fragile breeds, like teacups and toys! I am also experienced with kittens! *Experience With Cats: -I had a kitten for over a year. Unfortunately I had to leave her with my sister when I moved out because she loved the space and constant attention. And of course, at my previous job, I was a groomer, I was in charge of all kittens. I'd bathe them, dry them, clip their nails, and clean their faces and ears. *Experience With Dogs: -My partner and I got a puppy (April) after moving in, months after that we got another pup (Anubis) . We have taught them a few tricks, we indoor poddy trained them. I groom both of them, baths, shaving, ear cleaning, nail clipping, face cleaning and of course their cologne. I gave Anubis to my little sisters so now there is only one dog in our household! *We love each and every single one of our pets so much, and care for them dearly. We would love to care for your pets too. I'm always researching new ways to care for my different pets, and looking for new ways to give them more space to run around, entertain them, and keep their minds occupied and growing. Thank you so much for reading this far! If anything, please contact me, I'm here and eager to meet your fur baby!

Fatima made me feel super comfortable from the moment we dropped our puppy off. She sent pics and videos throughout the weekend as requested and it seemed like our puppy was having a blast the entire time. Highly recommend booking with Fatima. Our puppy will be back!

Our experience with Fatima was fantastic! My husband and I went to DR for a week. She was very professional, and I can tell she genuinely loves taking care of dogs. She waited by the door for our arrival the day of drop off and pickup. She sent us pictures periodically. Not too much where you get annoyed but not to little where you get overly concerned or miss him. She did everything we asked and more. She was very compliant to our request and when our flight was delayed on landing she was extremely patient and understanding. She also volunteered to groom our dog and did it very well. (It was his first time, so I was really worried, but ended up loving the work). Best believe I will be booking her again. She’s a hidden gem
