Pet care experience

My folks call me Dr. Doolittle!

I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and many fish. My mom called our house a zoo! I loved taking the dogs for walks and playing with them. Every time I visit my folks house now, I trim the dogs nails, brush them out, bathe them, and of course give them lots of belly rubs! My parent's always called me Dr. Doolittle growing up, as I would always tend to injured animals in our neighborhood, or befriend all the stray cats. I currently have one kitty at home who love snuggles and knocking everything over. In the past, I have assisted a family friend foster puppies. I'm familiar with pee pads, play pens, and all the fun that goes along with a mamma dog and her pups. I have pet sitted that family friend's animals as well, which included 2 cats and a dog. Another time I pet sitted was for a neighbor that was out on vacation. Her kitty simply needed some cuddles every so often, which I was more than happy to give!

Sarma did an excellent job. I highly recommend her! She took great care of a large English bulldog that can be stubborn and moody. Sarma took him on his walks and played with him in the yard. She administered his medications and prepared his food well. She also took care of the cats well and offered to do more than asked. I found Sarma to be extremely diligent and timely with her visits and pictures. She is highly recommended!!!

We love having Sarma in our home with our little loves! She is always communicative and sends lots of pictures that show our babies are happy and well cared for when we are away.

Sarma went above and beyond to make sure my senior dog was well-cared for and gave frequent updates during her stay. I recommend her 100%!

Sarma was so wonderful to our pets, respectful of our home, and communicative with us while we were away. Our babies can’t wait for their next sleepover!
