Safiya is incredible! She was super flexible with a last minute request and exceeded all my expectations. Would recommend over and over again

Safiya is who I think of when I think of a “pet person.” She adores animals and is the perfect person to take care of your pet. I have seen her care for (and spoil, frankly) both a cat and dog. They were loved and taken well care of.

Now let’s be clear. There is many pet services out here. But boy am I glad, grateful, thankful to have found Safiya for our pet services needs. Me and my wife had a trip to Atlanta this Summer and had no sitter for our lovely, beautiful cockapoo Cindy!! Here’s comes Safiya to the rescue. No only was she affordable, she gave our precious Cindy somewhere to sleep, play and be comfortable just like if she was home. Cindy almost didn’t even want to come back to us due to her having so much fun. I or I should say we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Safiya and we look forward to using her services again and again when we travel!!!

Safiya took care of my 3yr old terrier while i went out of town. She did very well feeding and walking him and making sure he got his medicine. I appreciate her loving and caring demeanor towards animals

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with personalized routines, enrichment, and close supervision. I do have a cat, but this will never be a problem—introductions are done carefully, and pets are always monitored to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their normal routines to reduce stress and provide consistent, compassionate care. I treat every pet like family and respect every home as if it were my own, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized care based on your pet’s needs. I love keeping pets active, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away. Whether it’s a game of fetch, exploring a local trail, or just relaxing together, your pet will get plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send you photo updates so you can see all the fun we’re having!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, any medical needs, allergies, or behavioral quirks (like leash reactivity or separation anxiety). I’d also love to know what they enjoy—favorite toys, games, or treats—and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more details you share, the better I can care for your pet like they’re my own!
