Safety, trust & environment

One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.

Your pet’s 2nd Home!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾

Our dog Brussel Sprout loved staying with Zoe! Zoe is so sweet and took such good care of him while we were away! He had so much fun playing, taking walks, and getting so much attention. We loved having Zoe as our Rover, she was so flexible when we had to change our dates and great with communication! We are very thankful!

Zhiyuan is very attentive. our dog BMO has a bit of separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Zhiyuan. She is absolutely fantastic and definitely will rebook since BMO loves her!!

Zhiyuan was great with Ollie! She was great with communication from the time I reached out to book through the actual sitting. She sent me tons of photos so I could see how happy my cat was with her. Everyone was happy!
