Loving animals since 1995.
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Salim! I’m a local artist, writer, dancer, yogi, and lover of Mother Earth who’s on here simply because I love to connect with and care for animals and was looking for an extra source of income. Originally from Miami, I graduated from Bard College back in 2018 and through a serendipitous series of events found myself staying in the Hudson Valley and becoming a transplanted local. I figured this was as good a place as any to meet some animals while at the same time helping others with their pet care needs. Each pet has their own needs and quirks so I focus on adapting to the needs of every animal I work with. My schedule is fairly flexible and I can promise all the attention and affection they deserve when I say I’m available. I have had two dogs over the past couple of years, including one that I raised up from puppyhood for a friend. Im fairly active so I can definitely keep up with the best of them (I hope). Regardless of what each pet needs, my primary goal is just keeping them happy!
Reviews
Salim was great! Obi is a high energy puppy and can be a handful, but Salim was patient and kept me updated throughout Obi’s stay.
Salim handled our 2 older, spoiled dogs just fine. We will definitely use him again!
Salim was wonderful to our dog. Super quick to reply, unbelievably accommodating to our schedule while in town for a wedding the weekend when she stayed with him, and just so sweet with her. Even his friends fell in love with her and came with Salim to drop her back with us (he drove 20+ minutes to meet us for both drop off and pick up to help us make it to events happening throughout the weekend). Will absolutely look to Salim again when we are in town.

Safety, trust & environment
I can be very accommodating to each pets individual needs. I do my best to be thorough with asking questions about the kind of care each pet asks for, as well as the environment that feels most supportive to them.
Home
Information Salim C. would like to know about your pet
Beyond a daily schedule of feeding, walking/running, and playtime, it’s helpful for me to know any special needs that a dog has. For example, the medications they take and where to find them, any emotional support needs they have, disabilities, etc. Also, I’d like to know who to call in case of emergencies such as a vet or a trusted friend.
A typical day
I love to go on runs or visits to the park to play with the dogs I care for. Generally I love to spend time by the water if I can help it and would be happy to take your furry companions on a swim. I’m down to get down and dirty with the best of them and play whatever games the dogs enjoy.
