We have a mix of pets with different needs, and Grace handled it all with ease. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was so reassuring to know they were in such good hands. When we returned, our pets were happy, relaxed, and the house was spotless. We truly felt like Grace went above and beyond.

“We had a great experience using Nicole for our dog while on vacation. Great communication. Highly recommend”


About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, and recently said goodbye to my sweet golden doodle of 14 years. He was my bud, and caring for him from puppyhood into his older years taught me so much about love, patience, and the little things dogs need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who needed a gentler care. I’m confident giving medication, following feeding routines, and making sure every dog feels loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like family. I’ll send plenty of updates, give lots of love, and make sure your dog is well cared for while you’re away. I’m home for the summer and have a super flexible schedule thanks to my internship, so pet care fits into my days really easily! Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your dog the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they might need, so things feel familiar while you’re away.

When I see dogs in public, I want to pet them all day :) Currently working part-time as well as attending college. I live in a dorm—no pets allowed. Classes are from ~12PM until ~4PM and work evening/nights. Nights I am not working my schedule is wide open. I like to gain a sense of trust at first between me and dogs(holding my hand out to sniff, pets if warranted, etc); Steer away from other dogs in public if mine gets aggressive; always conscious of surroundings; Dogs brighten my day every time I see one!

About: I have been a dog order for 16 years now and I have taken care of multiple dogs over the years from puppies to older pups!
