Zarina is and was excellent

We had a wonderful experience with Zarina and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. Our dog, Coco, stayed with Zarina for one day, and, we were a bit stressed because Coco is not used to being in someone else's home. Zarina arranged a meet-and-greet the week before, which immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly thorough, asked thoughtful questions about Coco's routine, personality, and needs, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. On the day of drop-off, Coco was nervous and didn't want to stay. Zarina remained calm, patient, and confident, and she knew exactly how to help Coco settle in. There was also another dog in her care that day, which initially made me a little nervous since Coco had never met that dog before. However, Zarina clearly understands dog behavior and personalities and was very intentional about making sure the dogs were a good match. Everything went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. Throughout the day, Zarina kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our event without worrying. Seeing Coco relaxed and comfortable in the updates reassured us that she was in excellent hands. When we picked Coco up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious that Zarina treats every dog as if they were her own. We are so grateful for the care and attention she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you, Zarina, for taking such great care of Coco!
