History
Established in 2006.
Hi! My name is Jen and I own ZooKeepers Pet Sitting. My family and I moved to southern Harnett County 10 years ago. Shortly after the move, I needed a pet sitter for our Zoo. I found that no service from Fayetteville would travel here to care for my pets. There wasn't a service based here either. So, with a little prodding from my husband, I created ZooKeepers Pet Sitting.
We started as a "one woman show". Just me seeing the pets that needed me. Quickly, it became apparent that I needed help. After 10 years of serving my clients, we have grown to 9 of us. Since I have a very capable staff, we can care for pets every day of the year.
Meet the Business Owner: Jen S.
I started ZooKeepers Pet Sitting to fill the need for pet care in my community. Having had no luck finding a pet sitter for my own pets, it was very evident one was needed.
I have had pets for over 40 years. In addition to dogs and cats, I have had snakes, turtles, fish, birds, rats, mice and even a raccoon. I am one of those "dog people", a person who works very well with dogs out of an instinct for it.
During the course of running my business, I have gained invaluable experience with normal and unusual pets. From learning to care for diabetic and renal failure cats, to keeping dogs with separation anxiety from "eating the house", my experience has grown. I have learned the care of a number of unique pets, from pot bellied pigs, to cotton top tamarinds, to even an emu!
