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.

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!

Zoe was great; the cats seemed to like her, and she was a big help giving medicine to a very difficult kitty.

Zoe has been wonderful and very patient. She sends a lot of updates and really cares for the animals she is taking care of.

Zoë was thorough, always kept me up to date and sent photos. My pup has epilepsy so I’m nervous anytime I’m not around him, I knew he was safe with Zoë. 10/10 recommend

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
