Pet care experience
As a second-year veterinary student, my passion for animals is at the heart of everything I do. My experience with cats, dogs, and rabbits spans over several years, during which I’ve volunteered at an animal sanctuary for over a year. There, I helped rehabilitate and socialize animals to prepare them for adoption. Additionally, I have worked at a kennels and cattery and gained hands-on experience in a veterinary practice. These roles have equipped me with invaluable skills and knowledge in animal care, ensuring your pets receive the best possible attention. I’ve been using Rover for over a year, during which I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and caring for many wonderful pets, each with their own unique personality. As a pet owner myself, I understand the joy and companionship pets bring to your life. I assure you that your pets will receive the same love and attention they get from you every day while in my care. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
Reviews

Zara is a superstar. Straight away - Olive took to her and with regular updates through the evening you could clearly see how comfortable Olive was with Zara. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely be using Zara again.


Zara took amazing care of our two golden retrievers in our home over a weekend of house sitting. Communication was great, she arranged a meet and greet, responded promptly to all messages and gave regular updates with photos. Most importantly the dogs loved her. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Zara was friendly, and great with my pup. She was on time and communicative. Highly recommend!


Super. Really caring and conscientious especially with the older one who was poorly whilst we were away. My 2 dogs love her

Safety, trust & environment
I have dealt with many anxious pets and have found the most important thing is to have patience. Recently, I went to cat sit for 2 cats who were very timid. I made sure to spend a lot of time with them and instead of me approaching them I let them approach me. This made both cats feel more at ease and they started engaging in many activities rather than hiding under the bed. Additionally due to my work experience in the veterinary clinics and volunteering in an animal shelter I have experience with many different behaviours and have learnt a lot of tricks that will ensure that your pet will feel safe and happy😊
Information Zara S. would like to know about your pet
I am more than happy to accommodate to your pets needs. If your pet has any special requirements this can be easily achieved. Before looking after your pet I usually like to arrange for a meet and greet where I get to know yourself and your pet better ?
A typical day
A typical day with me includes 3 walks each spanning between 30 mins - 1 hour. This can be amended according to your liking. Usually, I like to take them to large fields/ parks where they can chase balls/ are free to run and roam around.
