Zoe – Downtown

Hi! My name is Zoe. I’m from Brooklyn where I currently still live. In 2019, I

graduated from college with a film degree. After attending school in Boston, I

returned to New York, and since then have worked a variety of different positions,

including being a dog-walker and pet-sitter.

Growing up, my family always had cats, so from a young age I knew how to take

care of them and developed a deep love for them as well as other animals. My

sister and I also began to offer to watch the dogs in our apartment building when

our neighbors were away. Since 2022, I have been a dog-walker and pet-sitter on

Rover, where I’ve taken care of a range of dogs—big, small, outgoing, sensitive,

etc. I feel that I’ve interacted with so many different personalities! Additionally, I

spend some weekends walking dogs at my local animal rescue and volunteering

at the Brooklyn Cat Cafe.

On Rover, I developed strong relationships with dog-owners, and have continued

to see and watch their dogs from time to time over the past 3 years, which

became one of my favorite things about the job. Because I can’t have my own

dog (currently), being able to spend time with these dogs brought a lot of joy in

my life. I can’t wait to continue meeting more dogs through RuffCity!
