About Salma B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with respect, attention to detail, and lots of love! Here’s what you can expect: Routine: I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. Familiar routines help pets feel safe and relaxed. Personalized Care: Every pet has their own quirks and preferences. Whether your cat loves quiet window time or your dog needs extra cuddles during storms, I pay close attention to their individual needs and moods. Security: I’m careful and respectful in your home, including turning off lights, locking door, watering plants, or bringing in mail if requested. Cleanliness: I keep pet areas clean whether it's the litter box, food/water bowls, and bedding. I will always alert you if anything seems off like a missed meal. Updates: I’ll keep you in the loop with daily updates, photos, or messages so you know your pet is doing great and your home is in good hands.
Information Salma B. would like to know about your pet
Dog's daily routines. How and when to administer each of your pet's medications. Your pet's daily food intake, including dry food, wet food, and treats and where each of these items is stored Your dog's favorite games and toys and where they are stored Your dog's personality: Does s/he get along with other animals and people? Does s/he have any anxieties (eg. mailman or motorcycles driving by)? Your favorite walking spots and dog parks.
A typical day
I love to play fetch with dogs in the park and going for long walks and offering treats to reward them as need be. My go to toys are frisbees and balls depending on the size of my pet friends and I always make sure they stay hydrated. For cats, the wand is typically popular and treat puzzles can be fun too.

Responsible & Experienced Pet Care!
Pet care experience
Hello fellow pet lover! I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, turtles, tortoises and plants. I have worked with many animals and am happy to walk, feed, play with and care for your pet(s). I grew up on a farm with dogs, birds (parakeets and hens) and cats so I am comfortable with a wide range of animal care. Of course each pet is unique, I will therefore adapt my services to your pet's individual care needs and routine, whether it be medications or allergies. I am available for overnight stays to care for, walk/hike and love your fur baby while you're away. I often care for dogs in their own homes while their owners are away in order to prevent them for having to spend days on end at boarding facilities or kennels. I am happy to work with you to create a plan based on their specific needs and your desires. I am an energetic and reliable librarian with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services.
Reviews


Salma was very easy to work with and was so caring and thoughtful with our two cats! She also watered our plants and took care of packages that arrived while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care while on an extended trip and would definitely work with her again.
Salma is so so so incredibly kind and easy to work with. I am incredibly anxious when it comes to leaving my pets and seeing how happy Monty & Wendy looks in their pictures really makes leaving less terrible. She is very communicative as well!

She’s the best!

Salma was excellent! She took such good care of my cat. I also appreciate her flexibility because my key fob didn’t work and we figured it out after I got out of town. Thank you !
