Need Experienced? I got you!

Pet care experience

When I was 6, i started my experience in the equine industry. I train horses, and rehabilitated my own Thoroughbred horse to learn to trust and accept kind touch again. Currently, I own 3 dogs and have trained 2 of them to be my own Service Animals. I compete with the American Kennel Club regularly in obedience and rally and am moving to agility and Fast CAT. I can train puppies and have experience with special needs dogs, and dogs with behavioral issues such as nervousness. I have taken care of others dogs since i was 12. I worked in a doggy daycare and boarding facility for about a year, and am knowledgeable in dog behavior.

Zoe is extremely responsible, and an excellent communicator. She has taken care of our very high maintenance pup a couple of times, and couldn’t be happier!

Zoe did a wonderful job with our German Shepherd and puppy! She was on time and a great communicator! Wonderful way with animals and would 10/10 have her back!

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet as if they were my own! They will get as much (or as little, depending on the dog!) playtime as they need. I’m willing to do some enrichment exercises to keep their brains happy, and i’m more than happy to do some training with them at your home if you so wish. At the end of the night we will have a snuggle fest while we watch some of my favorite shows! (or theirs, for that matter)

Information Zoe M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is reactive or dog aggressive ahead of time, so i know what to expect should something arise along a walk. Also, if your dog is nervous, please let me know as well. I would like to work with a behavioral issue instead of sending the dog into a “culture shock” with me, as it’s only fair to them.

A typical day

We will have lots of time to play fetch, tug of war, or catch! After that’s done, I usually like to further stimulate the dog by doing some enrichment exercises such as a Snuffle Mat, Puzzle Toys, or give a frozen stuffer treat (if you so wish). I also like to do some dog training throughout the course of the day to keep the dog engaged and happy. I believe that an enriched dog is a happy dog!! I found it to work wonders with my high-energy Lab mix, he LOVES this routine, and i’m sure your dog will too. NOTE- I am BY NO MEANS A professional Trainer!! I am only willing to train a dog if they need some skills brushing up! If your dog doesn’t like this sort of stuff, i’m more than willing to go and take nice long walks around the neighborhood with them, maybe even take them for a small hike if the location is fitting. I believe that dogs deserve to have time to explore their surroundings as it stimulates the brain and keeps the dogs happy! My walks typically include “Sniffaris”, or letting the dog sniff as much as they want!! it’s important to allow the dog to smell their environments as it keeps their brains working and happy!

I currently work at home running a small business that sells dog collars and harnesses, as well as service dog vests. I’m home most of the time so your pup will have plenty of time to stretch, nap, play, and more! I am only out of the house for community college classes Tuesdays and Thursday, but the semester ends May 10th, 2022. After that, I’m open 7 days a week.
