My work with animals is no work for me. Pets fit in my daily/ weekly routine very good. I would treat them like my own kids I don't have. In the moment I lost my pet to another dog I felt the pain I never felt before. I realize the pets are definitely everything for me. Defently like to spend much time with pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I definitely like to give them attention, go with them for long walks, give them playtime, check for fresh water, food and treats. I make pictures and videos anytime and send it to the owner! I would like it too if someone taking care for my pets. Everything what I give and do daily for my own pets.( Maltese, mix Chihuahua Jack Russell and three cats.) . I would do the same with any other pet. Everyone have there spot, toys in the house. The garage is the play ground for the cats made with cat tunnels, scratcher, high boxes and toys. Every walk I take a stroller with me fresh water, treats,toys and other things. Mostly my blind Maltese sitting in the stroller:-). I carry pepper spray and a horn with me every walk. At home I never let them unattended in back yard or else where!!! Trust us good but control is better;-).

Information Salwa P. would like to know about your pet

Only thing I need to know that the pets I care for there characters and what they enjoy. That I can adjust to anything the pets like. For example if they like to play with a toy. If they like to play inside or outside. If they are playful and attention seeker or lay back in the sun and enjoy the peace. It makes me happy if I see the Pets happy:-).

A typical day

I would do what I do with my pets. If that would be ok with the owner .I walk with them an hour in the park or longer depends on the weather. After I go to Petco or PetSmart for the pets . I take them with in the regular stores. Reason why I do this is because I want that my pets stay socialized. Afternoon a hour walk near by and in the evening a small walk before bedtime. Weekend we going to the farmers market or any other outside event. In the house I play with them and nap time I open relax music or pet music . They all getting calm and sleeping relaxed. In that time I can do my other stuff in the house:-).

Pet care means passion

Pet care experience

I care and don't ignore if I see an animal in need. I treat all pets how I treat my own. I love pets how I love my own. My dog got killed from an other dog. I fought that this dog don't get put down. If you love animals you don't love just your own! I got my first pet 2011. After I saw how much passion I have for animals. I took care for neighbor hoods pets for free big, small or puppy everywhere where I was. I had different kind of Dogs. I gave them attention and exercise they need it. Important is time and patience. It always worked perfectly. The pets give it with the same passion back to you and that is my biggest reward. I would say my skills are to be there for all animals. For example I would rescue at first disabled and senior dog. I have the passion and love and time. I can adjust to any kind of pet. Every animal I found cats, dogs and a rabbit. I found them because I walking with open eyes. I found them good homes. Have extra room what is prepared for guest pets anytime. Experience I am always around animals. And I enjoy it.

Salwa did a great job taking care of my cat! She was generous with time and treats and gave my kitty the attention and stimulation she needed while I was away. I highly recommend her.

I met Salwa while shopping for my cats at PetSmart, and we quickly became friends. She has such a heart for animals!! I just love her dogs, and it’s easy to see they are pampered pups. I have been involved in feral cat rescue for over 40 years, and that’s another thing I love about Salwa. She is always eager to help any stray cat or dog in need. She will bend over backwards to get them the care they need and to find a good home for them. Salwa’s pet sitting clients always receive the same top quality pampering. She is the best!!
