Experienced Pet Care Provider 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

A knowledgeable and friendly caregiver who is a veterinary assistant. I have extensive knowledge of pet care, pet behavior and training. I am trustworthy and warm hearted so your pet will be in amazing hands while you are away. I am always available and typically can provide a response within a few minutes to an half an hour. I am very understanding of all situations and pets and I try to provide the best time and attention to any and all special needs. I pay close attention to all pets and their behaviors while in my care. I highly recommend your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations! Flea and Tick prevention is a requirement, and If fleas or ticks are found on your pet, they will be given CAPSTAR and a BATH AT YOUR EXPENSE. If you refuse treatment, you will have to pick up your pet immediately or make alternative care arrangements, as I can cannot put my pets, other pets and my home at risk. Dog boarding will typically be in group situations unless the owner specifically request otherwise. Meet and greets are a must for larger breed dogs at a local park or local pet store to assess your dogs behavior. I am open and willing to accept different breeds with different behaviors but I would need to know how to appropriately care for your pet and other pets being boarded 😊 Drop in visits or house sitting are an alternative for aging pets, or anxious pets. They are still provided the same care as if they were in my home, and your pet will still receive daily walks, be fed and provided water, socialization and given plenty of love. I do not stay overnight for safety reasons. If keys, or any items are needed to be picked up prior to the visit or stay, a drop-in visit fee is necessary. - Senior pet care experience -Medication administration knowledgable -Accepting of ALL dog breeds -I have my own transportation, so pick up and drop offs are available. -I have one dog and one cat 🥰 -Will send updates and photos -Allow dogs on living room furniture -Plenty of experience with Large breeds and Small breeds -Experience with handicap dogs and aggressive dogs -I am a note lover! Please leave or bring any notes to provide ample amount of time and opportunity to provide the same care you would provide.

Septima did a great job watching my dog, who has very bad separation anxiety when she’s away from me. She provided me with updates and I know my Willow was loved and cared for

I used the pick up and drop off services and Septma was on time for both pick up and dropping Bella off. I was a little nervous because Bella has never been around any other pets but Septima made her feel safe and comfortable being around other pets. Septima did a great job with boarding Bella. I will definitely be utilizing Septima again!

Septima was a great sitter! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and provided us updates while we were away. Our dogs enjoyed staying there!

Our dog Luke has stayed with Septima multiple times. She is always responsive and kind. This time I needed to leave the state at a very last minute and she was available to take care of him. She was also very flexible and could keep him a few days longer. We received daily updates and were sure that he was in good hands. Thank you very much, you really made things easier for me and my family during the difficult times.
