The Fetch

Your pet enjoys an overnight in his or her own home with one of our zen pet sitters, (most times this is your zen dog walker so your pet already knows and loves them) this includes a walk upon arrival usually by 5/5:30 pm to mimic a standard work day, your pet sitter will feed your dog dinner then another walk to relieve themselves after dinner.

The evening will consist of playtime or snuggle time depending on your pets personality. A before bed potty break then a good nights sleep. In the morning your pet sitter will feed your dog and your dog will go on another 15-20 minute walk. Included in this overnight is pet clean up, of course always refreshing water bowls, turning patio lights on and off as needed, bringing in mail if requested and basically any other tasks your pet sitter can assist with while giving your pet the best care possible!

Overnight stay with your pet plus a morning, mid day and dinner time walk and before bed potty
I loooove zen pet! I booked with them pretty last minute and they were quick to see if they had someone who could come do a home visit with my dogs while I was out of town for the day. Denise was in touch with me the entire time she was looking for a sitter, keeping me updated. She then found me Kelly, who came to meet my dogs and she was taking notes of anything I was asking her to do for my dogs and she was making sure she she had everything right. My dogs loved her right away! The day I was out of town I got a notification on the zen pet website and a text message with pictures of my girls. They looked so happy. I’ll definitely be using Zen Pet in the future!
