Life IS a walk in the park!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life and started my own pack by adopting two Australian Shepherds. We have since then added a Golden Retriever who is a slobbery ray of sunshine. What’s a home without a dog (or three)? Our fur babies don’t understand why we leave for work every day, so they wait for us and then burst with love and excitement when we come home. It’s why we love them, but sometimes that energy can be overwhelming after a long day of work or returning from a trip. A happy dog requires physical exercise and mental stimulation to achieve balance, so it’s not just about “letting the dog out” for me. Whether it’s a reoccurring walk or drop-ins while you’re on vacation, I will help your dog expel that excess energy through exercise like walks or playing fetch in the backyard. It is important to me to build trust through reliability and consistency, and you will see a difference in your dog. We can start with a meet-and-greet with your pup to discuss his or her needs, housekeeping (feeding, poop pickup, etc.) and your goals and scheduling. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I am comfortable handling different temperaments. I’d love to help you come home to a balanced pup who is happy to see you and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
Reviews
Zoe took great care of our cats. She let us know how things were going every day giving us peace of mind that they were in good hands.
Zoe was wonderful with our pup!
Zoe is fantastic! She takes care of our four complicated kitties and reports each day, and even includes pictures. 😄
I have used Rover for 5 years. I have never really had very good luck, until I met Zoe! I have two dogs that are in the gifted program at school. They are just perfect angel's and are so easy to work with. Ok that’s not true at all, but Zoe was exceptional working with my min pincher who can be a handful. I know that my two are a handful, but she was excellent with them! I have already booked her again. If you need someone Trustworthy and reliable Zoe is the person you must call! Thank you Zoe Your the best Adam ,Frankie, and Charlie
About Zoe S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable with working with dogs of any age, from puppies to senior dogs. I understand that some dogs are not as comfortable to have someone in their home, so I come prepared with lots of treats. In addition to walks, I am happy to feed, change potty pads, refill water bowls, or crate the dog(s) upon instruction. I also work with cats and can clean litter boxes.
Information Zoe S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog's temperaments and of any triggers. Knowing certain key words or phrases (e.g. "walk," "potty," "outside") to get their attention is helpful. Also please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions so I can choose treats wisely.
A typical day
I will walk wherever your dog is most comfortable. This can be in the neighborhood, the Monon trail, parks, etc. I can also work on teaching your dog tricks; my dogs know shake, high five, sit, lay down, sit up, stand up, roll over, and spin. I also have an 18ft leash if your dog wants to play short-range fetch while on a leash. The backyard is also a great place for exercise, and I love throwing a ball or frisbee.

Availability
I dedicate my schedule for Rover, so my prime time for walks and check-ins is during the mornings to late afternoons during the week and on weekends.
