Information Zainab S. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood, dog parks, etc Throw and retrieve games Tugging games Baths and Brushing (if discussed prior to booking) Belly rubs Smell and search games Tricks for treats

Pet care experience

I live with my husband Bryan and 2 very friendly cats, Nala and Dinah! Being animal lovers our home is very pet friendly, with varying cat trees, indoor/outdoor dog beds, hammocks, etc. We also have cozy outdoor spaces, and access to Black Creek Greenway. If you decide to board your pet with us they’ll get double the love and attention, and if you need pet care in your home I have a lot of flexibility with time/day and even overnight stays.

Zainab took great care of Mia on Wednesday evenings while I was in a 9 week program. I was so grateful that she did activities with her every time, plus lots of cuddles. I also had peace of mind that she had a confidence and experience with high energy dogs like my Mia. I will definitely book her again for future needs. Thank you.

This is the 3rd or 4th time we've had Zainab pet-sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats, and it’s always been awesome! She really takes care of them, and coming back to a clean house is a nice perk! Definitely going to keep booking her!

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.
