Loving Care for Your Fur Baby

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!

Our pup is wary of strangers and takes some time to warm up. Zoe understood the assignment perfectly - she is an amazing pet sitter. She had Samantha won over on the first day of the stay which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our 10 day trip. She communicated daily, asked questions when she had them and left the house in perfect order. We will definitely use her in the future!

Zoe was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter, and I can't recommend her highly enough! She is thorough, detail-oriented, dependable, and incredibly trustworthy. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and takes her responsibilities seriously. She cared for our dog and two cats for five days, managing medications, meals, walks, playtime, and all of their daily routines with great attention to detail. She was also incredibly respectful of our home and we returned to everything just as we left it. What impressed us most was the patience and kindness she showed our dog, Masie, who is very fearful and slow to trust new people. Zoe took the time to earn that trust at our dog's pace, and now they're the best of friends. Seeing that transformation gave us so much confidence that our pets were not only well cared for but genuinely happy while we were away. Zoe is flexible, reliable, and communicates well, making the entire experience stress-free. We came home to happy, healthy pets and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We will gladly book Zoe again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Zoe!

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!

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!
