I adapt my routine to fit with your pet's needs. As I study and work from home, pet sitting is a natural fit with my usual daily routine. I communicate closely with each owner to learn about their pet's preferences and routines, and ensure that they remain the priority throughout their stay. I am a yoga teacher, and love to practise my own yoga daily. Pets often find this relaxing and tend to join in, which is wonderful!

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet is in my home, they will have regular access to a fenced garden, beautiful parks and beaches and a safe environment at all times. I am an excellent communicator and understand that it can be stressful for owners to be away from their pets. I believe that open, honest communication is key to maintaining comfort and safety. I discuss with each owner their preferences for updates, including messages, photos and videos. When caring for dogs, I make sure that I understand the dog's recall habits thoroughly and discuss on-leash/off-leash walks with the pet owner. I wanted to let you know that our flat is located on the 3rd floor. If your dog is senior and unable to climb stairs, please keep this in mind.

Information Shaimaa M. would like to know about your pet

Information about the following is always helpful: Medical/special needs Emergency contacts Anxiety/fear triggers Feeding routines Favourite treats and activities The pet's vet contact details in case of emergency

A typical day

I love engaging dogs in outdoor and indoor games to help them burn physical and mental energy. For cats, I use feather wands to satisfy their natural hunting instincts. I interact with the pets as I would my own - they are part of the family and I enjoy giving them love and care whilst their owner is away. I like to gather information from the owner about their pet's favourite activites and replicate that whilst they are with me. Beach walks, cafe visits, quiet afternoons at home - each pet has its own preferences and I will be led by that.

Veterinary surgeon

Pet care experience

I am an experienced veterinary surgeon recently moved to Aberdeen. I am currently studying to register as a vet in the UK whilst thoroughly enjoying offering pet sitting services in my home. I also work part time online teaching holistic pet health programs to pet owners. I am offering pet sitting for those who prefer a loving home environment over a traditional kennel. With my veterinary background, your pets will be in the safest possible hands! I have numerous 5-star references from pet owners that I would be delighted to share with you. * Home-from-home care: Lots of love, attention and no disruption to your pet's exercise and food routine. I have no pets or children and live in a quiet home near beautiful parks and the beach. * Elderly pets, young pets and pets requiring medication/special care will be safe and comfortable. * Reasonable rates and excellent communication.

Please don’t hesitate to contact Shaimaa, she is an absolutely wonderful dog-sitter and a very lovely person. The fact that she is also vet qualified only adds to the peace of mind. I have left my pug Celeste in Shaimaa’s care three times now for a number of days, and have been kept updated regularly and been able to completely relax when away. Shaimaa offers one to one care, lots of walkies, follows feeding and medication instructions and I am so happy to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter. I just hope she doesn’t get too booked up!!! I like the pre-pay on booking system as it saves another expense when you actually go on holiday and also gives peace of mind that you are sorted for future holidays. Thanks Shaimaa, Celeste loves you ❤️🐾💕🐾❤️

Shaimaa looked after both of our greyhounds for a week during the summer holidays. We got regular updates, pictures and videos of the dogs and we had no issues with the care they received. We will definitely book in again with Shaimaa

Shaimaa was a wonderful host for Tina! She took great care of her. We felt so safe and reassured that she'd be taken well care of in her lovely flat. Tina even took part in a yoga class! Can't recommend enough! Thank you and appreciate your help.
