About Zara Clarke
Being retired means my day belongs to whoever is staying. Company all day, several outings rather than two rushed ones, and someone in the house overnight. I have the patience for a dog who needs a few days to come out of its shell, because there is nothing I need to rush off to.
What I offer in Columbus is house sitting at your place and doggy day care. I take dogs only. I stick to dogs under 15 lb, because that is what my home and my handling suit. The availability shown on this profile is kept up to date, and I would rather turn a booking down than take one I cannot do properly. There is always a quiet room available if a pet needs to be somewhere on its own for a while, and I will use it rather than force company on an animal that does not want it.
The first evening is deliberately quiet — settle in, short walk, early night. After that we fall into your pet's normal shape of day, which is usually all it takes for them to relax. Expect regular photos and an honest note on how the day went — including the days that were a bit off, because those are the ones you most need to know about.
Before any booking I ask for a meet-and-greet so your pet can size me up on neutral ground and you can ask whatever you need to. I take your vet's details, your emergency contact and any consent I might need to act on, and I keep all of it to hand. Do ask me anything before you book. I would far rather answer ten questions now than have either of us find out we are mismatched later.
