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.

Pet care experience

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.**

Z was PHENOMENAL with our babies. Cannot recommend her enough. She was very thorough, very on top of their schedules, and did amazing with keeping us updated. We will 1,000% be using her for every outing in the future. Thank you so much Z!!

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.
