Some call me the dog whisperer

Pet care experience

My name is Salma and I’ve been dog and pet sitting since I was 15. I’ve traditionally cared for high-energy dogs such as labradors, ridgebacks, and pit bulls. Typically, I have house sat and cared for pets while families are away on vacation. I’m comfortable taking care of animals and also ensuring that your home is maintained and secured while you’re away. I’m a biologist by trade and have worked with animal welfare and conservation organizations. I’ve cared for marine mammals, reptiles, and other non-traditional animals. And so I’m doubly qualified to care for your pet. I’m experienced and comfortable administering medications, caring for wounds, and descalating stressful situations. I am a grad student on summer break and so my schedule is currently very flexible.

This was the first time using a sitter for one of our dogs, Sequoia, who is a very shy, and skittish one-year-old, with separation anxiety. Salma was very patient, understanding, and tried different approaches to get our boy to warm up to another person. At the end of the session, Sequoia let her come up to him and pet him. Hopefully he will continue to get used to her and become great friends!

Salma is a fantastic dog sitter. She stayed with our 6yo, semi energetic English Staffy for a week. She sent updates, took our pup on lots of walks, and kept the house immaculate. Responsible and communicative. Highly recommend (even if it means she will have less availability for us!).

I really appreciate Salma reaching out to me about any concerns she had with my high-maintenance dog. She was a good communicator. Thanks Salma for hanging with my baby boy!

Salma was awesome! My pup is an energetic but quite shy 1 yo and she handled his initial fearfulness and subsequent playfulness with perfect patience and love. She took him out to his favorite trail for a hike and made sure he had something to eat after. She even befriended my cat so now the whole furry gang will be happy to see her. Will definitely have her come again!
