Availability

I’m currently working a few businesses on my own time and looking for other employment. I work Monday 8-4, Tuesday and Thursday noon-6pm. I can provide 4-8 hour potty breaks usually being 6-8 hours on those work days especially. I will not be at your home 24/7, please, don’t expect this! ONLY serious situations need this level of care and I would have to adjust the cost. I DO NOT negotiate lower rates. Please contact someone else. Prices may increase based on request (ie parking costs, distance). My cat is friendly with other animals (cats and dogs) shes met on multiple occasions. With boardings, she loves to hiss at first, but calms down and doesn’t mind sharing space with dogs who are familiar with cats!

Safety, trust & environment

Make sure all animals have clean plates to eat on every day. Clean litter box daily. Non toxic and animal friendly cleaners. Non toxic plants. My cat has feline herpes and I have cared for her infections, over grooming, special diet needs and more to keep her happy and healthy. She keeps her distance from the dogs who visit unless here for more than a few days, she might sit nearby. My knowledge on cats (and dogs) and their behavior comes from 20 years of research, discussion and hands on experience. I am a naturally fast learner, extremely kind and patient with animals (way easier than people LOL) and detail oriented. I will always leave your animal happy with my love and care! I live in a quiet area but theres still some noise because it is an apartment building.

Information Rose Z. would like to know about your pet

Any injuries or sicknesses! Please tell me if your animal is on medication or has allergies as well. Does your dog eat/chew on anything? Do your pets eat at certain times of the day? What is their routine like? How do they do with other animals? Will they bark/ whine to communicate or are they a quiet dog who needs regular potty breaks? Do they have a harness for walks? Places to avoid walking?

A typical day

I like to play, jog and run with dogs on walks! I live in uptown lakes area, by the greenway so I can walk daily. Normally wake up, go outside for a potty break, back inside for breakfast and water, outside again for a walk within the next hour, take a nap, go outside again, play time/I get work done so set up an activity for dog, then we have dinner and another long walk. Settling down for the evening we relax and probably get some snuggles in. Then all fall asleep in a cuddle puddle on the bed with the cat. Repeat! On weekends I work odd jobs for extra income too. Queer. Chronic pain & migraines. 420 friendly. Not a huge party girl. Rather stay in and pet cats and dogs!

City Girl who loves all animals

Pet care experience

I have been a known pet and house sitter my whole life. Since my earliest memories, I have had strong connections with animals, having a cat and dog since being a toddler. I have lived and cared for all types of animals from bunnies, hedgehogs, bearded dragons, crabs, fish, chicken, finches, cats and of course dogs. There is not an animal I have met that I have not loved and has not loved me. They all come with scars especially my cat now who I adopted. Animals will show the respect you give them and I know how to approach any animal with any background. Strong experience training with rescue animals and all dog breeds.

Rose did a great job watching my girl and keeping the ship afloat 😁. Frequent communication and lots of pictures. Would absolutely book with Rose again in the future.

Rose stayed at my place and took care of my cats for a little over a week. She was very kind in her communications and seemed to take great care of the cats and it appears they grew to really like her which is the most important thing. I felt confident during my trip that they were doing well. I also came home to a very clean place which was much appreciated! Thanks for that Rose. Took off one star (would have done only a half if it was possible) because there wasn’t quite as much communication in terms of updates and photos as I would have liked at times. I had to ask for them a couple times and because I left quite comprehensive instructions and at times it seemed like she didn’t fully read them or wasn’t referring back to them. For example, she forgot to water my plant until I asked about it, though I included it in the instructions. Overall though the issues were relatively minor and I would recommend her

We always use Rose when we go out of town. We trust her fully and our pup loves her. She is communicative, kind and a great find. Thanks for taking such great care of Dax for us!
