Zephyr can care for
Availability
I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Littleton/Castlerock, and thus am unable to care for animals until around 6pm on those days, save for early morning visits or housesitting. I will inform you of any other commitments that come up!

About Zephyr C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats and two dogs, of which only the cats get along somehow. The dogs have access to a big backyard, and one has a nervous bladder but doesn’t like going outside on her own, so I take her outside every two hours or so to make sure she doesn’t pee in the house. The dogs have to be walked separately to avoid issues, and one has to be walked much longer than the other because he’s much higher energy. As for the cats, both require at least an hour of play every night, and get canned food a few times per week. The little one only drinks water from the sink, and the big one needs his teeth brushed every week. All animals are brushed regularly.
Information Zephyr C. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any predisposition towards dog or cat breeds, but I do need to know if your animal will be aggressive towards me ahead of time and what I can do to avoid any stress on their part. Here’s some examples from my previous experiences: - “My dog doesn’t like his snout to be pet and will sometimes bite if touched there” - “My cat accepts pets but will bite if given scratches.” - “My dog is very food sensitive and will snap at you if you or the other dogs get too close while she’s eating.” - “My dog isn’t friendly towards other dogs and will start fights on walks.” I do not take care of pregnant animals, as I am not a vet nor do I have the ability to determine the health or safety of an animal during pregnancy.
A typical day
I love to take dogs to nearby lakes and parks! Depending on the dogs, I even take the babies to dog parks (if the owner allows it.) I find that some dogs love to just run around and play while I do laps around a field and some dogs just want to lay in the grass with me. Let me know if your dog is a swimmer and I’ll find a dog friendly lake nearby to take em to! I’ll even wash em off afterwards. If the cost is covered ($10 I think) I can take them to chatfield dog park. The park itself has a dog wash station out in the front and I can bring whatever dog wash shampoo you use with me to clean em up before we head home.

Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs and cats, as well as many households of varying sizes. Whether you have four big dogs, one little baby, senior pets or even multiple puppies, I have experiences in everything! I’ve also provided medications for the more skittish critters to help them stay healthy. Have a fussy senior kitty that needs shots? Been there, I got it! Heck, I’ve had jobs where I only take care of fish! The only animals I am not comfortable taking care of (other than insects) are due to lack of experience. This includes horses, lizards, and snakes. I can do anything with a bit of instruction. The only hard boundary I have is that I cannot provide adequate care for late stage pregnant animals.
Cat care experience
Zephyr also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Zephyr did a good job of taking care of my pup and making sure he had walks every day while I was gone. Thank you!
Unfortunately this walk did not happen, but Zephyr was apologetic and responsive to make up for the scheduling error.
Our doggo loved her walk!
