I can't say enough wonderful things about Zoé. She is simply the best dog sitter you could wish for! Right from the start, she showed an incredible understanding of dogs and is so loving and knowledgeable in how she cares for my furry friend. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just cuddling – my dog always feels completely at ease with her. You can tell immediately that she not only loves dogs but also truly understands what they need. She has a deep understanding of their behavior and ensures they feel safe and happy. It's so reassuring to know that my dog is in the best hands when I can't be there. What’s particularly impressive is how reliable and professional Zoé. is. She’s always punctual, keeps me updated regularly with photos and messages, and attends to all of my dog’s individual needs. She even recognized some of his little quirks and knows exactly how to handle them. And my dog Piet, as a former street dog, is anything but easy. Zoé handles even the difficult moments with understanding and calm. She is always looking for the best ways to make things as easy as possible for Piet in a world that often makes him nervous and anxious. I couldn't ask for better care for my dog, and I'm so grateful that we found Zoé. She is truly a dog person, and I can only highly recommend her to everyone!

About me

25 years experience

Trustworthy Sitter & Dog Trainer student

Dear Dog Owner,

I'm Zoé, a dog enthusiast with 25 years of experience in caring for dogs, currently studying to be a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant. Upon my studies and having owned two dogs myself and looked after many others, I understand the unique joy and responsibility of being a dog owner.

While my beloved Staffordshire terrier, my furry companion for 12 years, is no longer with me, my passion for dogs continues. Although I'm not ready to bring a new dog into my life just yet, I find immense joy in spending time with dogs and I offer valuable training insights to fellow dog owners upon request for free, as a part of my services.

My approach to dog care is both firm and playful. I believe that consistency, positive reinforcement, and discipline are essential, complemented by a good dose of movement, cuddles, and play. Whether your dog is a cuddly Staffordshire terrier, a friendly Labrador, a playful golden retriever, an indefatigable pointer, or any other mid-size or large breed, I'm here to provide the care and guidance they need, following your usual routines.

While I specialize in working with very strong, muscular breeds (I don't like to call them fighting dogs), I recognize that all dogs share similar needs and require the same consistency. I consider myself more than just a dog sitter—I'm here to assist you in improving your dog's behavior through my current understanding of dog training, psychology, and behavior.

❗ IMPORTANT ❗

🐶 Please introduce your dog when you're contacting me for the first time.
👋 A meet & greet is necessary before the confirmation of the first booking. This is important for you in order to get to know me, important for your dog that I earn their trust before being alone with me, and important for me to ask questions and take notes about your daily routine, your dog's past, and their behavior.
🚗 As I own a car, I offer pick-up and drop-off services upon request, for an extra fee.
🏠 I live alone in a 3-room apartment on the 4th floor, with an elevator. Dogs are allowed in all the 3 rooms.
💼 As I am currently in the process of a career change transitioning to a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant career from the Sales & Marketing field after a burnout, I am unemployed at the moment, with a focus on studying and gaining more experience with dogs. Therefore I am usually at home and I have a lot of time and motivation to bond with your dog.
📷 I send photos regularly and I write a summary of your dog's stay and my experience with them.
✨ Grooming services are available upon request, for an extra fee.
📄 Please prepare your dog's documentation before our appointment. I never needed them, but it is always safer to have them in case of emergency.
☝️ To ensure that each dog receives my full attention, I only take on one dog at a time, except for dogs that live in the same household.

If you share my beliefs in the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, and if you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and educated dog sitter, I'd be delighted to meet you and your furry friend.

Thank you for reading my introduction, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.

Warm regards,
Zoé
