Fun, Responsible Care for Everyfurr

Pet care experience

❗️Availability Update: From August 10–September 2, I won’t be available for overnight stays because of a prior booking. However, I’m still happy to provide extended daytime and evening care during those dates. Thanks for understanding! I’ve always loved animals and was lucky to grow up with an incredibly loving cat named Ada, who passed away a couple of years ago. After her passing, I started helping friends with cat sitting and instantly fell in love with caring for pets. I’m fun, reliable, punctual, and responsible, and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love to continue sharing that care with more pets!

I honestly can’t recommend Saifa enough! She came to our hotel to watch our 16 week old Lab puppy, Winston, while we were at a concert, and she made the whole experience completely stress free. She kept me updated throughout the entire night with texts and lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was so nice being able to enjoy the concert without worrying because I always knew Winston was happy, safe, and having a great time. Taking care of a 16 week old puppy isn’t always easy, but she was so patient, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Winston took to her right away, and it was obvious he was getting plenty of attention and affection. She was kind, dependable, and so easy to communicate with from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again the next time we’re in the city. Winston absolutely adored her, and I know he’ll be excited to see her again. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pup, she’s the one!

Saifa always goes above and beyond taking care of my mini dachshund Frankie. I’m so happy I found her.

Saifa was amazing! Tammy (our basenji) is usually a little apprehensive with new people, but took to Saifa right away. Saifa also took great care of our apartment over the weekend and left it in tip top shape. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
