Meet Aurora Zárate
Pet Lover, Animal Whisperer,
Your Pet’s New Paw Pal & Snuggle Buddy
Hi, I’m Aurora! As the owner of Teefs Pet Sitting, my mission is to treat your pets like my own – with love, patience, and care. With years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and iguanas, I’ve built a reputation for being reliable, attentive, and, most importantly, someone your pets adore.
The name “Teefs” comes from my deep love for the little things that make our pets unique – like their adorable teeth (or teefs)! Whether it’s a goofy grin, a happy bark, or a content purr, I’m here to ensure those teefs stay happy and healthy while you’re away.
I have over five years of professional pet-sitting experience, and I’ve shared my life with dogs, cats, and turtles throughout my entire adult life. I’m pet CPR and first aid certified, and I’m always eager to learn more to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve volunteered for rescues in various roles, including fostering, transporting, and administrative support.
One of my fur babies, Prize, is a testament to the love and care I give to every animal I meet. Someone broke his front legs when he was just five months old, and although they healed incorrectly, he has a specific temperament that requires a specialized routine and care. Prize is a reminder that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention to live their best life.
As a lifelong animal lover, I know how hard it can be to travel or get away because you’re not sure who you can trust to take care of your babies. I’ve been there! That’s why I’m committed to providing a level of care that gives you complete peace of mind, so you can focus on your trip knowing your pets are in loving hands.
Let’s work together to keep your pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
