Zara - Dog Lover

Hi! My name is Zara. I am an incoming student at Indiana University. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 15. I also have 2 dogs, Coco and Teddy, which I have trained myself since they were pups! I love working with dogs, cats, and kids, and plan to pursue taking care of others as I pursue a career in medicine. I am highly attentive to detail and am super active. I love going on hikes with my dogs and friends and running. I have been doing track for 4 years and love moving my body. My dogs are always playing, running around, or sleeping from how much they play. I love love love playing with animals and building bonds. 🐾❤️ In India, I worked in my community to help street dogs find shelter and food because they are often starved and ill. Most of them had ticks, fleas, were extremely underweight, or had broken limbs which were never treated. I raised money to help about 5 dogs in my community get back to full health and live a happy life. I am great with getting along with new dogs, even the super shy ones !

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs with a guest room we have dedicated to giving them space, play, and sleep at night. We also have a tie-out in my backyard for dogs, which I use to let them out to go to the bathroom supervised. About 2 minutes down the street, there is a fenced in dog park I allow my dogs to play and run around freely.

House Sitting • dic. 29, 2025

Zara took care of our dogs for about a week over the Christmas holiday break (house sitting in our house) when we were traveling. She was very prompt on communication. When we approached her on Rover, she was very prompt on responding, and we were able to set up a meet and greet fairly quickly. She took great care of our dogs, sending us pictures, responding to our questions and getting in touch with us proactively if need be. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for any kind of help with your pets!

My dogs are SUPER high energy. They both get walked at least once a day (15-30 minutes), and spend most of their days (willingly) outside in my back yard.
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.
