Happy Paws - All Creatures Accepted

I'm a 32 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.**

Zarah always goes above and beyond, but this time was so much more. My AC quit the night before she was scheduled, and it actually took the entire 5 days she was there to get it fixed...Yes, Florida in the Summer with only a small indoor/outdoor cooler unit she could roll around for relief from the heat...unbelievable...and after all that i still came home to happy relaxed dogs...She has earned another halo.

Schedule

I do not work a regular job, caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and species is my passion. I always aim to work with your schedule, as long as I am available to. All weekdays are open for visits, walks and house stays. Number of available Visits/Walks are limited slightly on the weekend.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Zarah can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
