Availability
I'm currently a full-time dog trainer so I’m able to create my own schedule and am generally flexible. I sometimes attend dog shows or dog sport events and will always disclose when I’m unavailable, or can offer to take dogs in my care to these events with me for extra socialization.

Home
Information Zoë R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about your pet’s likes and dislikes as well as their typical daily routine. I’d like to be aware of any medical concerns or behavioral conditions as well.
A typical day
I like to ensure all dogs in my care maintain past training or generally practice good habits if I haven’t specifically worked with them prior. We have free play time outside, treadmill time, rest time, and decompression time in a crate. I can always add extra enrichment like playing fetch, making a peanut butter Kong, etc. for dogs who might need extra stimulation. I can accommodate special needs as well as add on services such as a bath, brush, nail trim, etc. My only policy/requirement is that all dogs are crate trained as I care for dogs full-time and often have dogs from different “households.” I never leave dogs who do not live together alone unsupervised for safety!

Experienced Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
Back in 2019, I got a job working at a kennel supervising dogs in daycare, caring for them individually when they boarded, administering medication, etc. Then In 2020, I began shadowing a dog trainer and have worked under multiple trainers since then acquiring skills to work with a wide variety of dogs and unique behavioral situations. In 2023 I decided to open my own business doing training, daycare, and boarding. :) Since I have experience with dog training, I like to draw on that experience with dogs I care for. When dogs stay with me for daycare or boarding I ensure I enforce good habits and generally expose them to new things such as treadmill training for exercise. I absolutely love dogs of all shapes and sizes but my heart breed is the Cane Corso! I currently compete in multiple different dog sports with both my Corso and rescue dogs such as AKC conformation, obedience, rally, barn hunt, scent work, FastCAT/lure coursing, etc! My only policy/requirement is that all dogs are crate trained as I care for dogs full-time and often have dogs from different “households.” I never leave dogs who do not live together alone unsupervised for safety!
Reviews
Zoe went over and above for me and my puppy. I received pictures daily, didn't request that. Having missed our flight home, she quickly offered to keep her overnight, which was a god send. I forgot to pack her tick/flea/heartworm pill and Zoe offered to go to my vets office to get one. She's a special person who genuinely loves animals and I 100% would recommend her for your furbabies!
Zoe was wonderful to work with and made communication easy throughout our dog’s stay. She also kept us updated by sending plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun he was having.
Zoe was great; the cats seemed to like her, and she was a big help giving medicine to a very difficult kitty.
Excellent boarder. Took great care of my dog.
