Safety, trust & environment

I am fully aware that you are trusting me with a member of your family, and I will be sure to treat them with the utmost care, meeting them where they are in terms of energy, play and cuddles. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I will be sure to follow any instructions and respect the home as if it were my own, leaving no trace of my presence behind.

Information Zaena T. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any medical conditions that require administering routine medications, or if your dog has any behavioral issues that require specific accommodations, please let me know in advance. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, as well as providing oral and injected medications, but any preparation or insights in advance are appreciated.

A typical day

Every pet is different in terms of what sort of activities stimulate them the most. For the low energy or anxious pups that don't like the outdoors, I am a fan of puzzle toys or quick training sessions to exercise their minds, while for the more active and energetic pups I love a good game of fetch, tug of war, or even just a long walk.

Dog-Loving Former Fed

Pet care experience

I am a lifetime dog-owner/lover who has plenty of experience in both playing with and taking care of dogs of all ages and abilities. I know how stressful it can be to leave your loved ones alone, whether it be for a long work day or a much needed vacation, and I aim to ensure your pet is in the best hands possible. Previous members of my dog family include Labradors, Boxers, Shih Tzus and Poodles. I know how to handle myself against a puller on a walk, am a master at tricking dogs into taking their meds, and can inject insulin into a furry booty if needed. Prior employment as a professional dog-walker/sitter and as a Veterinary assistant means that I know how to roll up my sleeves and get down to business.

Zaena was a fantastic house sitter for my dog Maisy. It was Maisy’s first time with a house sitter and Zaena was great about Maisy’s medications, schedule, and behavioral quirks. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures/videos daily. I look forward to having Zaena watch Maisy again.

Zaena was professional, timely and easy to work with! She is very quick to respond and was able to do a meet and greet same day. She took the time to make our dog Guinness comfortable before the first walk, took lots of pictures and had great communication updates for me. She even went out in the rain and made sure Guinness had his raincoat on. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
