Pet care experience

tail-ored care for your pup!

Hi there! I’m Zahra. I’ve been caring for dogs for over a decade, since I was 15. From spunky schnauzers, APBTs who don’t do strangers outside their pack, goofy golden retrievers, lovable pitbulls, absolute menace Dalmatians, chaotic puppies, anxious velcro dogs, and everything in between. I remember every single one of them and what made them unique. My husband and I both work from home, and we are big dog lovers. We have our own McGruff who came straight off the streets and is now the most civilized little guy you’ve ever met. All three of us are beyond happy to welcome your pup into our home. Your dog will be treated more than family. Couch? Bed? Whatever they’re comfortable with, it’s theirs. I love hanging out with them. It brings so much joy to my heart. They’re going to have the best time, and they’ll be just as excited coming back every single visit. # What Sets Us Apart ∙ We’re right across from a dog park , so daily walks and play dates is part of the deal. ∙ We host only 1–2 dogs at a time so your pup gets real attention, time and space. ∙ Daily photo and video updates because I genuinely love taking those and I know how much it means to know what your dog is doing when you’re away. . I have 2 very comfy spare dog beds - ( a Must, since still spend most of the hours napping at home) bowls, a very extensive toys and treats selection, location-tracking Apple Air Tags that I use if your pup doesn’t have a name tag (!), so you’re all set up and ready to go! 🐕 A heads up: If your dog has any special needs (reactive, dog-selective, or dealing with separation or social anxiety) just let me know upfront! I will make sure we set your pup up for success. 🐈 A Note on Cats: Dogs are my world, but I’m open to cat sitting and will follow all your instructions carefully. Reach out to see if we’re a good fit! 💵 New Client Offer: Use code FATIML35736 for $20 off your first Rover booking! Thank you and Looking fur-ward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶 ❤️

Fatima was a real pleasure to work with and she and Marley were fast friends immediately upon meeting. The photos of my old dog playing at the dog run was a joy to see as he hasn't done that in years! I'm so glad that we found Fatima. We'll definitely use her next time we need to board Marley. She was fantastic!

Fatima was great with Wallace and very communicative. She kept me updated with pics and videos, and my senior pup was well cared for and cozy and got to go to the park a lot! I recommend her and would leave Wallace in her care again.

Zahra was terrific! She is caring, communicative & well-equipped for dog guests. We appreciated the photos, videos & updates. Our last minute trip (& booking) came with a some last minute concerns about Cody. Clearance from our vet & the photos, videos & updates from Zahra helped us relax & enjoy our trip knowing Cody was in good hands.

Fatima was so lovely. She took good care of my senior dog. She sent me video and photo updates every day. She paid careful attention to my her behavior and well being (she even noticed that my dog is very likely deaf!). I was so worried about leaving my elderly girl with someone I had never met before, but Fatima made me feel completely at ease. Lucy came back happy and in good shape. Next time I travel, Fatima will be the person I call to look after my dog.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family(because they are!) I understand that each dog is different and has different needs and temperament, so I always take the time to get to know them, their strengths and limitations as safely as possible.

Pets

A typical day

Early long morning, afternoon, and evening walks at the dog park, including daily play-dates at the enclosed dog-run to play and socialize with other dogs (if approved), fetch, tug-of-war, and plenty of cuddle breaks throughout the day (for the dogs of course!! ). I have extra comfy dog beds and toys, i also don’t mind letting dogs on the couch/bed if that’s what they’re comfortable with 🤎
