Responsible & Experienced Pet Care!

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.

Pets

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.

Salma spent extra time with my dog, Sophie, and went above and beyond for the walk!

Salma is a wonderful catsitter!! She took great pictures of the cats, cleaned the food dishes very well and was so generous she even brought over one of her own toys. The cats clearly came to trust her and we are so grateful for her great communication and helpfulness, even when the cats had an accident on the carpet!

Salma was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She provided timely updates and pictures, and I’d certainly ask her to watch my cat again. Trustworthy, responsive, and kind. I definitely recommend booking with Salma!

Salma took such good care of our two cats! She was super thoughtful and attentive to every detail to make sure they were taken care of perfectly. We couldn’t have left them in better hands!

Salma was great - conscientious about making sure all 3 got what they needed, lots of playtime, and proactive about asking questions and anticipating their needs. Her writeups were great and I enjoyed my trip not having to worry about the kitties! Would hire her again anytime.

Salma responded to my short-notice request quickly, which I greatly appreciated as it was for only a few days of dog-walking. I'd had some surgery on my leg and it was difficult to walk for the first few days. Salma came three times daily and was very kind and patient with my elderly dog. I would not hesitate to hire her again.
