Certified Pet Sitter! XS-Med Pets!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! My name is Fatima, I'm a Certified Pet Sitter. We have, a teacup Maltese, 1 hamster, and a budgie! They all get along and are pretty much quiet, but very interesting, so if that is something you are looking for, we are your team! Both 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 or small-med dogs or kittens! ------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. I also have experience dealing with more fragile breeds, like teacups and toys! I am also have experience with cats and kittens. *Experience With Cats: My kitten was given to me by a friend. I had her for over a year. Unfortunately I had to leave her with my mother and sisters 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 the cats, mostly kittens. I'd bathe them, dry them, clip their nails, and clean their faces and ears. *Experience With Dogs: My partner and I did get 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, bath, 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! *Other Species: In the past I've had turles, and my family has had fishes. My partner's family has always had a bunch of budgies. A bit after getting April, I bought a white budgie, Snowy, for my partner, we have her in our room, and she's pretty chill, we did get another bugie after, Pichie, but he passed, we don't know how, seeing that we had recently got him. A while after that I decided I want to live the life I always dreamed of... rodents! I love me some mice! Currently I have a female hamster, but we did have 2 mice before that have passed away after living a nice long life. Our bird and hamster have their own space away from the dogs, so there won't be any accident happening! *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, stretch their wings, and burrow. *I'm able to take any pet you'd like, from small pets, to puppies and kittens, also avian life! I will note, we don't take in big dogs because of space, unfortunately. We also have a playpen, in which we introduce animals to eachother, without risking any fighting or just bad first impressions. Thank you so much for reading this far! 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 and makes it 2× the fun! **We ONLY take puppies and small breeds, dogs/pups 16+lbs (more or less) **No aggressive cats or dogs please! **Please contact me if you're interested or have any questions!

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

Excellent communication skills, easy to work with, and overall just pleasant person! Fatima made my first time using this app and a dog sitter so easy and comforting. She’s exactly who I plan on using from now on without a doubt! Highly recommend her especially if you’re someone like me new to the app and dog sitting in general. She’ll help ease your mind and help you feel secure! Again highly recommend Fatima!

Fatima was excellent! She had to work when I booked her, but she let me know up front that she’d be away and her partner would be watching my pup all day instead. She called in late to work this morning to meet me and my dog and sent photos and updates throughout the day. I could tell that Fatima and her partner cared about my dog and were going to take good care of her. This was our first time getting a sitter and it was such a relief to know that from the start. Thanks again!

I'm so fortunate that Fatima took care of my pit boxer while I was gone for over a week! This was my first time using Rover, and I had the best experience (my dog had an absolutely amazing time too). Fatima was friendly, attentive, responsible, professional, and reassuring. She kept me updated all the time on how my baby was doing. She took such great care of him, and I def will book her again!
