Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Caring Pet Sitter
I’ve been part of a family that has always had pets, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from a very young age. I grew up on a farm in New Zealand, surrounded by a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and Highland cows. This has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding the different personalities and needs of all kinds of animals. As well as caring for my own pets, I’ve also looked after the pets of friends and family over the years. We have a running family joke that I’m the “animal whisperer” because I’ve always had a natural way of connecting with animals and helping them feel comfortable around me. I’m genuinely not biased towards cats or dog, I absolutely love both! Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and routines. You can rest assured that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Whether they need lots of playtime, a quiet companion, or someone to stick to their usual routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We have trusted Zara and her partner, Matt, to care for our home and our beloved long-haired cat, Bear, on several occasions while we’ve been away on holiday. They moved into our home and looked after everything impeccably, including our plants and, most importantly, Bear. They are mature, respectful, reliable, and genuinely caring. Bear is a high-maintenance cat who requires extra grooming and attention, and Zara and Matt cared for him with the same love and dedication that we do. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. I recommend Zara without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate person to care for their home and pets.
