Safety, trust & environment

I love to play with pets in their preferred style! Getting down with some toys and treats is always on the agenda. Walks, jogs and good snuggles are never denied!

Information Zenzele U. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any health/food restrictions. Additionally, if there are any behavioral quirks that should be noted, I would like to be made aware (aversion to other dogs or people, etc.)

A typical day

I always take my dogs on at least 3 walks a day. We go to 2 different parks occasionally and play with bubbles and the ball. At home we like to lounge and play catch or tug of war.

Pet care experience

Hi there! Thank you for checking me out! I am a very energetic and fun animal professional who enjoys spending time with cats and dogs in both my work and personal life. I graduated with my B.S. in animal science and now work from home full time. I have owned pets my entire life and seen many of my pets from birth through their life cycle. I love interacting with pets of all sizes, and ages! I am extremely patient and do not at all mind the demanding nature of younger puppies/kittens. Additionally, I love being outdoors and there’s no better way to enjoy the day than with a furry friend. I treat every pet as if they were my own and often times that means sing alongs and lots of play!

I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!

Zenzele was great with my pets and my house, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again, or recommend her services to others.

This was my first time using Zenzele as a dog sitter/boarder and I chose her because of her experience with older dogs. I was very impressed with her expertise and professionalism in how she handled my senior dog. She kept me informed of any issues she encountered and sent pictures to keep me updated on his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and plan to definitely use her services again! She was/is amazing!

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.
