Committed to Extraordinary Care

Being a caretaker is in my blood; I grew up on a farm where I nurtured a love for animals and the outdoors. I have many years experience house sitting, dog walking, some basic training and administration of oral medicine for both dogs and cats. I am extremely grateful to be in a position to share my experience with my clients and I look forward to meeting you and your pet/s.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I only offer in-home pet care services at this time, however; I keep you informed with pictures and daily updates with how your pet is doing and what we’re up to, ensuring clear communication is maintained. It is of utmost importance we keep an open dialogue between us to answer any questions and resolve any concerns or issues if any arise throughout the stay.

This is our first time using Zia as a pet sitter. We left our pets for 6 days, and when we returned, most of the dog food we left, and all of the treats, were unopened and not even offered, even though we left specific written instructions. Rather than text us with questions, she made, in her words"an executive decision" to not follow the written instructions. She was also, defensive and somewhat rude with our questions regarding feeding and said if we were didn't want to book with her again, "that's fine, go on the app and find another sitter that suits your needs. That's what the app is for." I will add, the house was clean, linens used were washed. Pictures, the first day were sent. I personally would not recommend her, or use her again.

Zia was fantastic. Excellent communication, daily updates, and kept the house spotless! Our boxer was very comfortable with her. She was timely, and even stayed a little late when we had a late return flight so our boy wouldn’t have to be inside too long. Very professional, and clearly loves animals. We will be reaching out again in the future!

Zia took great care of our dogs and home! She spent lots of outside time with them and gave them all the snuggles. We would definitely recommend her to others!
