Pet care experience
Not only am I a dog lover, but my husband and I have 10+ years of experience owning multiple dogs and caring for others' dogs and other types of animals. We work from home full-time Monday through Friday, but are home most weekends and enjoy the company of furry four-legged friends! I have a 4 yr old 60lb male lab mix that gets along with other dogs, especially small dogs. He has some special needs and anxiety, so we also have a lot of experience dealing with unique dogs. During your dogs weekend/overnight stay, I will play with your dog, care for your dog, exercise with your dog, snuggle (unless of course you're pup prefers alone time) and much more! Let me know what your dog likes, and I'll do it! Also, please let me know if you have any particular instructions/restrictions and I will abide by your rules. You can reach me at any time, whether it's before, during, or after caring for your pet. I am extremely responsive and will always provide the customer service all pet parents deserve.
Reviews
Zoe is terrific! Phoebe just loves going to play with her and her dog Tux. Zoe makes the stay very comfortable for her doggie guest. Highly recommend!!
Zoe, is family to me and let me tell you one thing - she LOVES animals, particularly dogs, She has a huge heart and can't resist the temptation to love on a doggo when given the chance. She's incredibly caring and responsible. I'd trust my dog and even my own kid (if I had one) in her hands. She's mature, respectful, gentle, sweet and I HIGHLY recommend her. Your pups will love her!

I live in a secure condo with cameras both inside and outside of our unit. We have a 60lb lab mix who is our "guard dog" who acts as our alarm, although he would never hurt a fly.
Home
Information Zoe S. would like to know about your pet
Any particular medicines, routines, and behavioral issues would be great to know ahead of time (for example, how is your dog around strangers? other dogs? kids? etc.) I can do anything you request or that your dog needs. No ask is too big. I am here to help and put your mind at ease while you're away.
A typical day
On a weekday with work, we wake up, go out to potty (if a high-energy dog, this will be a long walk), and then come home to eat breakfast! After breakfast, we will play a little bit and then it's couch and chill time! Yes, your pooch is allowed on the furniture :). Around lunchtime, our dog, Tux, gets the longest walk of the day and comes home to a treat. Quick playtime and then couch and chill again! Dinner around 5:30pm. Two more potty breaks until bedtime. During the weekend, we stick to the food times and potty breaks to keep routine, but we tend to go outside and socialize much more! We also have a rooftop deck.

My husband and I currently both work from home with flexible schedules. We are easily able to step away for playtime and walks, which we do with our dog. He gets plenty of attention and potty breaks. During the weekend, we are fully available for walks, play, and more
