Flexible sitter : All paws welcome

**About Me** Hello, pet parents! My name is Zarah, and I've had the joy and privilege of growing up surrounded by animals. With a dad who was a veterinarian, my love for pets started young and continued to grow through the years. For the past decade, I was a devoted dog mom to my beloved Luna Lovegood, who sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year. **Why I'm Here** The loss of Luna has left a paw-shaped hole in my heart, and while she can never be replaced, I'm looking to heal by extending my love and care to your furry family members. I offer more than just a service; I offer a home filled with love, attention, and compassion. **Services Offered** I have an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to cater to your pet's specific needs. Whether your dog is big and active or small and cuddly, I have a comfortable space and a loving environment for them. - **For Bigger Dogs**: My partner is a fitness enthusiast and would love to bring your high-energy pup on daily runs to keep them happy and healthy. - **For Smaller Dogs & Cats**: I'm all about those cuddles and playtime! We'll make sure they get all the love they deserve while you're away. - **Beach Walks for All**: We're lucky enough to live just a short car ride away from the beach , so if your pet enjoys the sand and surf, beach walks are a definite option! **Why Choose Me** When you choose me, you're not just getting a pet sitter; you're getting a whole family of animal lovers devoted to making your pet's stay as comfortable and fun as possible. I'll provide regular updates, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands. We are a pet sitting tag team. You will have both Ray and I watching your furry loved one.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

afety, Trust, and Environment When it comes to taking care of your pets, creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority. Here’s what you can expect: • Home Setting: We live in an open loft that we own, which provides a spacious and inviting area for your pet to roam and relax. Due to the open nature of our living space, we limit our care to 1-3 dogs at a time to ensure each pet receives the attention they deserve. • Outdoor Activities: While we don’t have a backyard, we make up for it with frequent walks and outdoor activities. Please note that our setting is best suited for dogs that are properly trained; if a dog is incontinent, this won’t be an ideal environment due to the lack of a backyard. • Aquariums and Fish: We’re also home to a few finned friends. If your dog has never interacted with aquariums, we’ll make sure to supervise their initial reactions to ensure everyone’s safety. • Personal Comforts: We have ample space for dog beds, toys, and any other comfort items your pet needs to feel at home. Feel free to bring anything that would make their stay more familiar and comfortable. • Safety Measures: While we offer an open space, the safety of your pet is our utmost priority. Rest assured, we take necessary precautions to ensure your pet is secure at all times. Your trust is vital to us, and we commit to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. With frequent updates and open communication, you’ll always know how your pet is doing.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 09, 2024

Finn was happy with his stay with Zarah! He got to go out lunch and was comfortable seeing new people. Zarah sent us great photos of Finn during his stay! We’d love to be able to book again!

Zarah is loving, attentive and loves to spoil my little Bella! I highly recommend her. We will be back for future pet sitting. Thank you Zarah!

Zarah and Ray were fantastic and made us feel at ease leaving our anxious pup with other people for the first time. We appreciated the updates and attentive care. Highly recommend for daycare!

Zarah and Raymond are lovely people with whom our dog loved spending time. He was returned to us perfectly happy (though he might have showed more joy that we came to take him back home).

Schedule

How My Schedule Fits Yours I work remotely as a Product Designer, which means I have the flexibility to be home and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. While I do have regular working hours from Monday to Thursday, my presence at home ensures your furry friend will never feel lonely. Evenings during the weekdays are generally open, offering ample time for walks and social time. During weekends, I’m committed to working on startup projects but my partner and I are often home and available for extended activities like beach walks or runs for bigger dogs. While there might be occasional evenings when we’re out, it’s rare for us to be away for an entire day. Rest assured, we can work around schedules to ensure your pet receives the best care possible, keeping them happy and giving you peace of mind.

Important to Know Ahead of Time Before we open our home to your beloved pet, there are some important details we need to discuss to ensure the best possible experience for everyone involved: • Special Needs: If your pet requires special attention, medication, or a specific routine, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate them. • Behavioral Traits: We need to be aware of any aggressive tendencies or issues your dog may have with other dogs. This is crucial as we may be caring for other pets concurrently and need to schedule accordingly. • Indoor Training: Due to the lack of a backyard, it’s essential that your pet is well-trained to handle their business outdoors. We cannot accept pets that have a habit of relieving themselves indoors. • Likes and Dislikes: Every pet has its quirks! Whether it’s a favorite toy or a particular dislike for certain sounds or activities, we want to know so we can make their stay as pleasant as possible. • No Incontinent Dogs: We’re unable to take in dogs that cannot control their bladder or bowel movements, as we don’t have outdoor facilities to manage such needs. • Outdoor Bathroom Habits: Your dog must be trained to go to the bathroom outside. This is a strict requirement given our living environment. By keeping us informed, we can provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience for your pet. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines.
