Safety, trust & environment

I am not able to care for other pets in my home. However, I am happy to care for pets in your home and will follow all safety protocol (looking, alarms, etc)

Information Zoe J. would like to know about your pet

I definitely want to know how your dog gets along with other dogs and people, and what your typical routine is. I also want to know any training you have been trying to do so I can do my best to enforce that.

A typical day

I am an avid runner and walker so happy to taker your dog on a run if they’re able - or just for some long walks. I have previously dogsat for a very high-energy black lab so can deal with dogs that pull (though appreciate any instructions if you are trying to train them in a particular way!) Otherwise, I’m happy to engage in any form of play your dog likes best - frisbee, dog park, hiking on a trail, etc For cats, who are often shy, I like to give them time to warm up to me. If they oblige, happy to play with any toys they enjoy. Also happy to provide lots of affection if they’ll accept.

Pet care experience

While I’ve never had my own dog, I have dogsat and helped care for dogs for 9 years. I have a cat whom I am very devoted to and understand the anxiety of leaving a pet behind so I promise to be just as devoted to your dog, and to provide regular updates. I have only cared for small and medium sized dog but willing to learn to care for a big dog.

Zoe was really great during the entire booking and drop-in process. Very communicative while booking and planning the visit & she let us know exactly when she arrived and left each drop-in. We got great pictures and updates about how the two cats were doing, and when we got home they were clearly well cared for and happy for the attention they got from Zoe while we were gone. Definitely recommend and will book again for our next trip!

Zoe did a fantastic job taking care of my cat, and was very flexible, understanding, and communicative surrounding the busy holiday timing!

When we go out of town, I always call on Zoe to watch our cat. She takes time to play with our kitty and genuinely loves animals. You can tell she really cares. She is extremely professional and communicates promptly. We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! We highly recommend Zoe.

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.
