All Dogs Welcome!
Pet care experience
Hello, I go by Zen. I've been handling dogs of all breeds, ages, and medical conditions for 5 years now. I have been certified by the National Animal Control Association (NACA) in 2019 via my work as an Animal Control Officer. I am knowledgeable on dog behavior and body language, providing dogs a positive experience in my care. I have experience walking dogs in a pack/unit creating a calm, positive and controlled walk.
Reviews
Zen was fantastic! Sent me multiple updates daily, with pictures and what they did that day. She took my dogs on a hike one day and a walk the next. She even helped keep them mellow through fireworks by playing music to drown out the noise. I will continue to use her
Zen is super sweet and one of the most avid animal lovers I've ever met. They're patient and loving with my dogs (and my dogs love them back!). Aside from a passion for animals they're also super knowledgeable on pet care and will go out of their way to make sure my girls are happy and healthy. Love this sitter!
Zen is an amazing caretaker for animals of all kinds! Their experience in both animal healthcare and behavior training has been a real comfort when entrusting our furry family to them. They have a genuine passion and love for the animals they care for and have even given us tips on helping correct some of the less than ideal habits and behaviors of one of our dogs. No matter the type of animal in need of care, they are a reliable choice!
I was told by a close friend of mine to go to Zen for some dog training tips. I did not know them personally, but they were very friendly and hands-on. I needed help with leash training and just overall some better tips on to make my dog respect me. They showed me the proper way to exercise him, how to feed him and the most effective ways to show affection and love without having him become accustom to bad habits on accident. I had been told about Zen's past experience in the field of veterinary work/overall animal care and felt very confident and safe learning from them. I saw significant results from my dog after only a few days. I can't recommend them enough as a responsible and trustworthy person who only wants whats best for the animal and it's level of care.
