Pet care experience

Playful and responsible sitter!

I'm not a dog person. I'm an animal person! I have two senior kitties, a gecko, an anole, a hamster, and fish under my care. I love all sorts of cuddly and not so cuddly creatures! I've cared for family cats and dogs growing up and am looking forward to getting my own puppy next year! I've been a sitter for two years. I'm very comfortable caring for senior kitties and dogs. My own senior cat needed oral medication weekly since age 3 for a special condition. I've been solely responsible for feeding, exercising, bathing, and medicating cats since I was 12 and as someone in my mid 20s I make a mature and responsible sitter. I've also cared for medicating a spicy elderly cat with hiv that needed two daily medications, including pills, before their passing (6 months) RIP. So for pets that have special needs I'm very familiar with these procedures and am comfortable with them if necessary as long as we go over them in person first! I believe challenged pets deserve equal opportunity to be cared for and loved!  I cannot bathe cats that are fiesty when it comes to water. I also cannot trim any nails as I am not a professional groomer and accidents can cause infection. Safety is my number one priority!

Zoe took care of our girls and did an excellent job! She was on time and dependable! She was so kind and sent us lots of pictures. It made our vacation better knowing our girls were in good hands.

Zoe is very accomodating to scheduling and changes. She loves animals and tales time to walk and play with them. I would recommend Zoe to any animal owner who needs a sitter.

Zoe did a great job with my pups. She walk them, bathe them, gave my little old girl her eyedrops, kept in touch with me, sent me pictures, and made me feel very comfortable, knowing she was taking such good care of them. I had to leave them for an extended time as I was new to North Carolina, and in the process of getting situated in the home. I miss them horribly, but was comforted by the fact that she was taking such good care of them.

Schedule

AVAILABILITY I have a very flexible schedule as a freelance, work from home graphic designer. I can be available most any day from 5am-10pm, when given at least a day's notice, for sitting, drop ins, and walks. I promise to let any regular customers know as soon as I do of any vacation or emergency preventing regularly scheduled pet care so you have time to find a suitable replacement for your four-legged family member! As I work from home I'm available your pet's entire stay to keep them company and to keep an eye on them!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Zoe can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I'm happy to walk, feed, medicate, and generally care for all small and medium dog breeds, so long as they don't have a history of aggressive leash reactivity, leash fear, aggressive food guarding, or aggressive response to being given medication (I need to be shown how your dog is used to being given medicine and successful do so supervised before I can safely attempt to do so alone with your dog). Any allergies, medical conditions, or fears would be important to know as well as your preferred emergency vet's number just in case. I "know" cpr for cats and dogs but I've never been taught by a professional or certified in any way.
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.
