Availability
I am flexible since I work for myself as an independent contractor. I usually can do most times, even during the day and weekends. Mornings, I am often responsible for kid school drop offs and evenings can vary from time to time, but can plan accordingly as I have a flexible schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
I allow the pet to smell me and I wait for them to give me permission to enter further into the home. I don't impose until I know they are comfortable with me being in their space.

Information Mohamed C. would like to know about your pet
When caring for a pet, it's essential to consider their unique needs and behaviors. Here's a structured guide to help ensure their well-being: ### **Dogs** - **Dietary Needs**: Allergies, specific food schedules, or raw diets requiring careful handling. - **Medical Needs**: Medications (pills/injections), arthritis management (soft bedding, ramps). - **Behavioral Traits**: Separation anxiety (destructive behavior), aggression triggers, exercise requirements (e.g., high-energy breeds). - **Environmental Needs**: Safe spaces, secure fencing to prevent escaping. - **Routines**: Consistent walk/feeding times, commands they respond to. ### **Cats** - **Dietary Needs**: Urinary health food, portion control to prevent obesity. - **Medical Needs**: Insulin for diabetes, grooming needs (e.g., long-haired breeds). - **Behavioral Traits**: Litter box cleanliness, shyness (hiding spots), playtime to avoid boredom. - **Environmental Needs**: Indoor/outdoor access, stress-free zones. By addressing these factors, you can tailor care to each pet’s needs, ensuring their health and comfort.

Reviews
Mohamed is the only person we trust to watch our dog. She is 15 and has multiple chronic illnesses that require pills and close attention. Mohamed pays that close attention. Calling us if he is concerned and acting just like we would if we were home. Could not recommend highly enough.
Mo always does a great job taking care of my cats and making sure things at the house are in good condition!
Mohammed is an incredible kind and caring pet sitter. We’re so lucky to continue to have his care for our pet!
Mohamed takes excellent care of our older dog. Great communicator and very reliable. We schedule with Mohamed for every one of our trips.
