Awarded Best Dog Walker by Every Dog I Walk!
I've had dogs and cats all through my childhood as my family are all huge animal lovers. The dog that we had for most of my childhood was an English Pointer with epilepsy. We gave her long walks and soothed her and made sure she was safe when she went into convulsions. I absolutely adore the happiness and companionship and loyalty that dogs give and combined with being a big fan of walking, It is probably the reason why dogs have awarded me the best dog walker title year in and year out. I am caring, fun, happy and energetic-just like dogs!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As I said I have cared for an epileptic dog, as well as a dog that is on 'heat'. I have also cared for timid pets with trauma as well as big dogs with boundless energy and have trained all my dogs to sit and lie down. I am respectful to the owner's individual instructions of how they specifically want you to handle and look after their pet.
Ratings and reviews
Zahra gave regular updates throughout house/pet sitting at ours. Animals seemed very happy when we returned. She followed all instructions. House was left clean and tidy as we left it. Will definitely book again. Many Thanks
Zahra was great as usual! Will be using again for Gaia!
Zahra was great with Gaia and will definitely be using again!
Logan had a great time with Zahra. It was really easy to meet Zahra, talk through what Logan is like and the schedule we’d like help with. Thank you !!
Zahra is kind, friendly and dedicated in everything that she does. She is an animal lover and experienced in looking after pets in general and dogs in particular. In the past, she has looked after gerbils, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. In particular she has looked after a dog called Bracken (a rescued German pointer) for many years. She had routinely taken Bracken for walks; early in the morning and in the afternoon. She provided the specified food and water for Bracken. I remember seeing Zahra whether she is working or watching television with Bracken constantly at her feet. Zahra is very engaging and entertaining. She is kind with a great deal of love and care that she is able to give to pets and people. I think she would make excellent pet companion, sitter and dog walker.
I have known Zahra B all her life, and can certainly vouch for her ability to care for dogs, as well as cats and other household pets. Zahra B has grown up surrounded by animals, and has been involved with their care from a young age. She shows compassion, is responsible to their needs and routine, and has a lot of fun with them at the same time. I think both Zahra B and the dog in her care will establish a great bond.

Schedule
I am studying for a Creative Writing PhD-writing a novel which features a large cast of dogs of course! The life of a writer is all from home, so I have a lot of freedom and flexibility to walk and care for dogs and other animals.
