Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I’m happy to set up a meet-and-greet before booking so we can go over any questions or concerns and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

Information Zoe J. would like to know about your pet

Before I pet sit, I like to gather some key info to make sure I can give your dog or cat the best care possible. For both dogs and cats, I’d love to know their feeding schedule, any dietary restrictions, and if they have any medical conditions that need special attention, like medication or mobility issues. If your pet has any quirks like separation anxiety, a fear of certain noises, or specific routines that make them feel safe, let me know so I can make them as comfortable as possible. For dogs, I’d also like to know their exercise needs and favorite activities, whether that’s long walks, short potty breaks, or playtime in the yard. For cats, I’d love to hear about their favorite toys, whether they enjoy playtime or prefer quiet companionship, and any specific routines they’re used to. If possible, I’d also appreciate having your vet’s contact info just in case of emergencies. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

A typical day

I love getting outside, so if your dog enjoys walks or exploring parks, I’d be happy to take them along! I think outdoor time is great for exercise, but it’s also important for mental stimulation and keeping things interesting for them. Whether your dog loves long adventures or just a quick stroll, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them. For cats, I know playtime is just as important! Whether it’s chasing a wand toy, playing with a laser pointer, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they need. If your pet has any specific preferences or needs, I’m more than happy to accommodate, just let me know what makes them happiest!

Loving Care for Your Fur Baby

Pet care experience

Hey, I’m Zoë! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and taking care of them is something I genuinely love. My goal is simple, treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I’ve looked after pets of all ages, including those with special needs like blindness, deafness, mobility issues, and anxiety. I’ve carried blind pets outside for bathroom breaks, hand-fed them meals, and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. I’m also used to following detailed care routines, whether that’s giving meds, sticking to a feeding schedule, or making sure pets eat separately if needed. I’m pretty active, so if your dog has tons of energy, I’m happy to take them on long walks (usually around 4 miles for overnight stays) or even a hike. But if they’re more of a couch potato, I’m all for a cozy night in. Same goes for cats—I’ll play with them if they want or just hang out if they prefer their space. If your pet is shy, I’m happy to do a couple of meet-and-greets to help them warm up to me. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll always do my best to keep you updated and make sure they’re getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

Great communication and my dog is always happy (and tired) when she comes home.

We did recurring, multiple times per week, walks with Zoe for a months-long period. She was very communicative, responding promptly to messages when we had changes in our schedule. She wrote detailed, thoughtful descriptions of the walks and always let us know if she brought in a package, refilled our dog's water bowl, gave him a treat, or other similar updates. We would absolutely recommend Zoe!
