I’m a graduate student in Public Health working from home most of the time, and my partner works remotely, so one of us is always home with your pet! We are available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, with lots of flexibility on weekdays and weekends. Whether it’s playtime or quiet companionship, your pet will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day.

Information Sara & Rick Z. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, preferences, or quirks—I’m happy to adjust to their routine and comfort level. I’d also love to know how they get along with other dogs, their energy level, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible care.
A typical day
We love keeping pets engaged both mentally and physically! A typical day might include fun games at home, sniffy walks around the neighborhood, and visits to nearby green spaces. I’ll follow your pet’s energy level and needs—whether that means active playtime or cozy snuggles on the couch.

Your Pet’s New Best Friends
Pet care experience
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! My partner and I currently have two sweet poodles at home, so we understand the importance of reliable and loving care. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, fish—even a gecko! I’ve also helped take care of friends’ and neighbours’ pets, whether it’s going on walks, feeding, or just spending time with them. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :)
Reviews

Tulsi had a great and fun time with Rick and Sara! They took care of everything including meal times, specific nutrition requirements, gave us regular updates and pictures :-)!!! Rick and Sara have great pleasing personalities which put Tulsi at ease immediately. Thank you both ☺️❤️

Chungas had a a lot of fun on his walk. Sara and Rick did a great job tiring him out while looking out for him and making sure he’s hydrated on his walk. Will definitely be reaching out to them again!

Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!


Sara and Rick were absolutely wonderful. They came by for a visit before the sitting sessions, and were completely at home with the kitties and my instructions. They put me at ease. Every day I got a great update, description of activities, and lots of photos of them having fun with my two cats. I never had to worry for a minute. They were timely about returning my key, and I'd hire them again in a minute. Highly recommended.
