About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, I took my very first steps with a Rottweiler named Oso by my side! Growing up around these large breeds has helped me plenty with hands-on experience and confidence with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for and loved several dogs, including a German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and currently a Malinois mix and two husky mixes. I’m very familiar with the energy, exercise needs, and unique personalities that come with active breeds. While I have lots of experience with larger dogs, I absolutely adore small dogs too. I want make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with shy or timid pups and always take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, running around, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m their new best friend ☺️. If you have a high-energy dog that needs to burn off some extra energy, I’m more than ready to help tire them out with plenty of exercise and fun 🤩 ! ❗️I’m available all weekdays and holidays! Although, i’m in college, studying Administration of Justice, and depends on my schedule for the semester since classes may vary on my availability. but it doesn’t mean i won’t make time for your babies! I do prefer for your animals to be treated at your home, because my dogs can be protective of our home and won’t want to put any animals in harms way.

“We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Paris as our dog’s companion! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she’s a true dog lover. She always shows up on time and is flexible with scheduling. Paris keeps us updated with delightful picture messages that show our pup basking in affection and enjoying playtime. Each photo radiates joy, confirming that our dog is in the best hands! Paris not only cares for our pet but seems to have genuinely connected with her.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional training experience and genuine love for animals. With 11 years of pet sitting and 4 years as an assistant dog trainer, I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with unique needs. I understand pet behavior, can reinforce training, and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a teacher, which means I have weekends, holidays, school breaks, and summers off, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. During the school year, I get home early and have ample time for evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like work. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I live in an apartment with a large, fully fenced patio that includes turf and cement, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for potty breaks, fresh air, and supervised play. I also have an extremely friendly and well-socialized dog who enjoys having canine companions and has experience living with foster dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions.

“Kathrine took great care of our kitties while we were gone for a 10 day trip. She visited them twice a day to do basic care but went above and beyond to keep them entertained and happy. She also combed them for fleas when a couple were discovered on them to keep them comfortable. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to any pet owner 😊”

“Angela did an amazing job of taking care of both my dogs; Cooper and Jasper. I’ll use her again in the future. Many thanks again!! =)”

About: What sets me apart is my focus on personalized care. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m patient, communicative, and experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always keep owners updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and time to care for pets. I’m available most weekdays 2 PM- 7PM. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from owners. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for at all times while keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.

“This was my first time using Rover and I found Zapphora. She set up a meet and greet. She was on-time and my cat took to her right away. Zap is very personable and easy to talk to. She communicated with me for each visit. I had her come 2 times a day for 4 days. My Kitty is my baby, I felt so comfortable knowing that Zap would be checking on her. I am thankful for Rover connecting me to her. I will definitely ask for her for any future travels. Thank you Zap!”

Liz E.

“Aimee is such a sweetheart and I felt SO comfortable with her coming to my home while I was away on a vacation. She sent me updates while she visited and made me miss my babies, but like I said I feel so confident with her being the person taking care of my pets. THANK you for everything Aimee!”

About: Pets are our ultimate pals, and ensuring they receive the care they deserve is my absolute passion! My hands-on expertise began when i was a kid in my father's pit bull kennel. I got to interact with our dogs for years, giving me truly unique skills in things like early socialization, dietary planning, and health protocols. I'm a highly active and hands-on caregiver—perfectly equipped to manage your high energy dogs with engaging exercise and social stimulation—while also providing the gentle, expert care needed for all life stages, from fragile newborn puppies to your cherished senior pets. I can confidently handle medication and specialized food plans, and I offer comprehensive cat care, including litter maintenance, socialization, and baths. I'm so excited to ensure your fur babies are happy, healthy, and just utterly spoiled! I work part-time as I stock my Etsy shop and consistently have free days during the week to spend pampering your pets! (I've just trained our family dogs to walk loose leash and I loved it!) Now I'm able to give them early morning walks and free up the rest of my day! When it comes to walking, I have a strict harness and lead leash policy, in which the harness leash is attached around my waist and the lead leash is snug around the pups neck and riding high near the ears. This ensures that your pup stays attentive during the first few walks so that we can learn how communicate with each other. Once good habits are established, I'll move into loose leash walking.

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for years. I am experienced in giving animals medicine and love to take care of animals in need. I have volunteered at a wildlife rescue for years and have taken care of possums, squirrels, cats and all kinds of birds. I have experience with young cats and senior dogs and I am not afraid to get messy because that’s what animals do. I cannot walk dogs very well due to having hip problems but I can assure you your furry friend will be taken care of as if they are my own. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care for my pets. I wake up around 6:30am every morning to let my chickens out of the coop so they can free roam through my backyard. I feed my starling, cockatiel and pigeon each separate diets. My cats eat dry food in the morning and wet food at night. My chickens go back in the coop at 6pm and I collect all the eggs they laid that day. The chickens get treats like blueberries and feeder fish throughout the day. I do not clip my birds wings so they are free to fly around the house and my cats are friendly to them. My yard is fenced off for my chickens to free roam during the day and I have 2 friendly cats that live in my backyard that catch rats and mice but are friendly to birds.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of various pets over the years. Starting from when I got my own at the age of 9. Along with that I've taken care of pets that aren't my own and know how to care for them properly. There have been times I’ve had to care for sick pets and know how important it is to keep a closer eye on them when under the weather. I clean up after them as well as ensuring that they feel safe in their surroundings at all times. I want the best experience for your pet and I will do my best to ensure they enjoy the time they spend with me I'm currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I'm sure free most days with just a few hours of class in between. I'm usually completely free on weekend. I have a love of walking and caring for pets but I like to be careful. I clean up after them and make sure to carry plenty of water and treats for our furry friends.

“Kaylie is great! She goes above and beyond….much appreciated!!”

“Alyce dropped in to check on our four-month old puppy for a few days while we were at work. We felt extremely comfortable having her in our home to take care of our little guy. Updates were provided each day after her check-in. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve always been the type to care for animals like they’re my own, whether it’s my own pets, my family’s pets, or even strays who just need some food, treats, and warmth. I’ll be gentle, patient, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for :) I currently work part-time while attending school and working toward becoming a teacher, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine, especially with the extra time I’ll have during the summer. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and would love to use that time to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience working with kids has also helped me become more patient, attentive, and responsible, which are qualities I bring into caring for pets as well! I care for my pets with a lot of attention, patience, and safety in mind. At home, I use doggy gates to keep them away from anything that could harm them, and I always make sure unsafe objects are not left unattended. I also have experience giving pets medicine, especially when it comes to following strict times and instructions. Overall, I try my best to make sure my pets feel safe, loved, cared for, and still have plenty of time to play and get the attention they need.
