Muttville foster alum–love seniors!
Pet care experience
Growing up with dogs (Pit Bulls, Miniature Dachsund, a Boxer, & more), I remain a dog loving person as an adult! I'm the default dog-sitter of my friends (frequently caring for a Bischon Frise & Australian Cattle Dog), & more recently, served as a foster home for senior dogs through Muttville (looking after a Mini Doberman Pinscher and a Shiba Inu - Basenji mix). You can also find me on Wag.
Reviews
Zoe is very warm and friendly and sends lots of photos and videos! It felt so good knowing my pup was being given lots of attention while I was away! Drop off and pickup were super smooth. Definitely will board with Zoe again and highly recommend her!
Was so nice that Zoe could watch Rex at the last minute thanks so much. He had a great time.
Zoe is awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and sent lots of pictures for me to keep up with Pinto’s time there. Very communicative and got a happy Pinto back :)
Zoe did a great job caring for our AussieDoodle who has separation anxiety. It was our first time boarding her, and we were not sure how our dog would respond. Zoe reassured us with her responsible manner and multiple daily photos/videos. She took Penny on lots of leashed walks and was also able to administer medication as needed. Her home is well situated for fearful dogs - she lives in a quiet gated community and takes only one dog at a time. We highly recommend Zoe!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, dogs are allowed on our furniture with exception to our bed. I have big floofy cushions that I leave throughout the house so dogs have lots of napping options. I let dogs sleep wherever they like (with exception to our bed) – for some dogs this has meant on top of a pile of blankets on a seat in our living room, for others this means on a floor cushion or bed directly next to our human bed. I am very accustomed to picky eaters (and even picky drinkers!), and am used to boiling chicken or salmon with some rice for the especially picky ones. I am experienced in administering oral medications to dogs, including through syringes. I will follow whatever rules you set for your home!
Home
Information Zoe P. would like to know about your pet
I carry treats on me in case they're needed and none are provided (Fruitables, Skinny Minis - Bison flavored), please let me know if your preference is for your dog to have no treats or specific treats only.
A typical day
I'm a hiker and green spaces and nearby parks are my north star on walks! If your dog likes to go for a little trot at a brisker pace I can jog/run with them on leash. I typically do not let dogs off-leash or into play areas with other dogs unless the pet parent provides explicit guidelines instructing me to do so, or well after I have gotten to know a dog.

Availability
I work remotely on East Coast hours, which means that if I'm pet sitting or boarding for you between the hours of 6 AM-2 PM, I will be on my laptop most of that time (and taking frequent play and walk breaks with your furry friend)!
