Animals are my priority!

Pet care experience

From a young age, I've harbored a deep passion for caring for animals. Raised alongside three wonderful dogs, I learned the importance of love, care, and appreciation for our furry companions early on. This foundation fueled my part-time endeavors in college, where I began sitting for dogs and cats, as well as fostering.I firmly believe in the importance of keeping pets active and engaged with the great outdoors. My approach to pet sitting involves taking them on extended walks or runs (provided they're in good health), rewarding them with treats (mindful of any allergies), and dedicating ample playtime. I see animals as incredibly kind beings whose physical and mental wellbeing is as crucial as ours. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats; I've also cared for Bearded Dragons, Snakes, and Hamsters. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.I prioritize maintaining a consistent schedule for meals and playtime, adapting my routine to meet their needs. Whether a pet requires three meals a day or more frequent walks, I tailor my services to match the client's specifications.At my apartment, pets are welcomed with the warm companionship of the friendliest dog, who is not only intelligent but also understands the importance of giving space when necessary. Depending on your pet's comfort and your preferences, I can provide a crate or allow them the freedom to explore a cozy environment filled with pillows and blankets. The care I extend in my clients' homes is always respectful of their rules and conditions. I pride myself on being open-minded and attentive to any concerns you might have.

Zinnia is the best! She pampered my Clooney with lots of love, and even a bath after all the playing with her pup, Nala, in the backyard. I got regular updates and pictures/videos of my pupper enjoying his time with her. He is a mission to care for and she definitely showed him the same love and care I show him at home. Will definitely book with her again!

Zinnia took excellent care of our dachshund. She gave us piece of mind during our travel time.

Zinnia went above and beyond caring for Eva! Her dog Nala is so sweet and got along very well with my dog. I hadn’t used rover in a few years and was anxious about finding a new sitter, but she made the process so easy and I felt that my baby was getting the best care available. Zinnia definitely treated Eva like her own, and I’m so grateful! Will 100% be booking with her again! ???
