Roxy had a great time with Zahra and her family. She came back happy and seemed to be well cared for. We really appreciate you taking her into your home. Thank you for the love and care you gave Roxy.

We were very happy to leave our dogs with Zahra. She did a great job looking after them. We willl definitely call on Zahra to look after our pets again. We highly recommend Zahra to dog sit for us.

Zahra and Pambe took extremely good care of super shy and anxious Hermès. Hermes warmed up to Zahra quickly and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely be rebooking soon.

Zahra is very accommodating which I very much appreciate. My Myla loves her time with Zahra and the pup squad. Thank you Zahra, you are wonderful. My husband and I are very grateful we found such a trustworthy, kind, and loving person to watch our Myla!

Thank you so much Zahra for bringing Kiko and Max into your home and into your family! We rarely go anywhere without our pups, so it is always a stressful thought to have to leave them behind if we need to travel. From our first conversation I was so relieved to know they would be in great hands and loved just as much as they are at home. (I didn’t think it would be possible but they may be more spoiled there than they are with us!) She was very accommodating with Kiko’s anxiety and they felt right at home. She was always quick to respond to any texts or questions I had which gave me the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. I would recommend Zahra to anyone looking for a “home away from home” for their pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge fenced yard, a dog run, and a small friendly dog to keep your dog company. Dogs are supervised in the yard, sleep with me in the bed (unless that's a no no for your pup), and get unlimited belly rubs. In the hot summer months, we have AC so your pup will be comfy.

Pets

A typical day

I work from home and have a huge fenced yard for dogs to explore throughout the day. I typically let my dog outside as often as she'd like and is pretty tired from chasing all the birds. My yard has access to a natural pathway and we like to go exploring the sights and smells. There are lots of different paths to take, so every day is a different adventure.
