Happy Paws - All Creatures Accepted

Pet care experience

I'm a 31 year old Army veteran, home fulltime who adores animals, especially yours! I have 5+ years experience caring for all types of animals great and small, exotic species included. During my military service I fostered and assisted in rehoming several animals with my local SPCA. My area of operation ranges from Grant to Viera with some exceptions. I am located in Melbourne, travel is not an issue. Special needs and geriatric animals welcome and spoiled like all the others, with hugs, kisses and playtime in large portions. My walks are focused on stretching and exercise that suits your animals needs and health. You will be able to enjoy peace of mind knowing that your furry friends and family members are my top priority. **As of Jan 1st 2022 my rates will be adjusted to comfortably accommodate Inflation. Thank you for understanding.**

As a fairly neurotic pet mom, with two very active dogs, another 70lb senior handicapped dog that is very opinionated and yet playful, and a senior kitty who it seems has beaten cancer and is dealing well with heart failure (taking 5 pills a day), there are not many people I would trust leaving my crew with. Zarah has known my boys for quite a while, and is loved by them all. When I get home whether she has done a dropin, or I've been gone several days, the boys are happy, calm, fed, any meds have been given, and the house is tidy. Love this woman!

Information Zarah J. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a breed preference. Is your baby a barker or chewer (lots of toys will be provided to gnawers) All shots and records must be up to date. Mine will always be.

A typical day

I have a large open yard with tons of shade, my neighborhood is abundant in foiliage and has several well shaded streets to walk. Playtime is important as well as snuggles and reminding your dog I am there for them. Being apart from mom and dad is NEVER fun.
