Information Zarah F. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioral issues the pups have; whether they are flighty, nervous any thing like that. The day of visit I’d like to know if they were not feeling well .

A typical day

Hiking, visits to parks, jogging, play fetch, and just having fun. No dog is too big or too active . One thing people always mention is how tired their pup is after leaving doggy day camp.

Pets

Animal lover with 17 yrs experience

Pet care experience

I love all kinds of dogs; big and sporty (love those), gentle giants, puppies, goofy, old and slow, small and mighty. I just love them all. I've been working with animals for 11 years now. I've done it all Between dog sitting, bathing, grooming,walking and just having my own pets. It's been both an amazing and very fulfilling experience. I've always loved working with and being surrounded by animals. I'll make your pet feel right at home in mine. Fur on the furniture is a okay and expected! All day cuddles are my favorite even if the lap dog doesn't exactly fit in your lap haha. I'm available all day for booking requests even last minute. I lead a very active lifestyle so walking is always fun but can also take it slow with the older ones. I have a huge fenced in backyard and I’m home all day with your pup. I offer custom rates for extended stays and weekly daycare/walks. I also can care for other pets in your home as well with experience in; chinchillas, rabbit, ferrets, sugar glider, hedgehogs, hamsters, rat/mice, guinea pigs and various reptile. I also keep those plant babies alive as well!

Zarah took care of my older dog for 8 days/7 overnights, giving him pills, hand feeding, lots of pets, etc. she spent a lot of time with him, not only overnights but during the days too. I could not be more pleased and will definitely ask Zarah to take care of my fur baby again!!!
