About Selkie M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home is very pet-friendly as all rooms of the house are safe for animals. We allow pets on furniture, have plenty of toys and treats, and have a large backyard with easy-access to walking paths for both on off leash exercise. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog is 1 year and a half Irish-wolfhound mix (although more like the size of a lab) and absolutely adores other dogs. She is very friendly and loves to play. My cat likes dogs as well, but mainly keeps to herself and has plenty of hiding spaces to escape high energy canine play. When I am pet sitting, 100% of my attention is on the animals and they are my #1 priority at all times.

Information Selkie M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs or dietary restrictions and if your pet is good with other dogs and cats. To spend the day at my house your dog must be okay with other dogs, but the cat does not have to have any interaction with your dog.
A typical day
A typical day is a walk in the woods and a splash in the brook in the morning, playing with toys and chews throughout the day, supervised backyard time, a midday walk in the neighborhood, a late afternoon hike in the woods, and an evening walk around the block. Lots of tuggawar, fetch, and chasing.

Pet care experience
I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I love dogs and cats! I have grown up with pets and there were always at least two animals in my home. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs, including administering medicine. I am a sophomore at Mount Holyoke so I am available year-round, including holidays. I live right next to Amethyst Brook so dogs staying with me will get daily hikes through the woods, socialization with other dogs, and off-leash fun (if preferred)!
Cat care experience
Selkie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Selkie did a great job with our cat! She has a lovely way of connecting... on the animal's terms. Our cat warmed up very quickly. We look forward to future bookings. Thank you, Selkie!
Very communicative and affectionate to my sweet cats!
Selkie was great with our two, medium/large dogs! She arrived on-time, provided photo updates and was quick to respond. We look forward to booking Selkie again in the future.
Selkie sent lots of pictures, and Paloma clearly had a great time. Thank you!
