BEGUM
DOG LOVER & DESIGNER
Begum has been a dedicated dog lover since childhood. Her passion for dogs motivated her to start several dog services, including dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding. This journey eventually led her to join the Zendog team. Currently, she focuses on ensuring that dogs receive proper care, that the pet services operate smoothly, and that the social media channels and website for retail and services function efficiently. Aussies are her spirit animal.
IRINA
PET PROFESSIONAL
Irina is an avid hiker and has a passion for animals. She always had pets at home: dogs, cats, birds. She owned two bull terriers for more than ten years and enjoyed different outdoor activities with them, such as skiing, rollerblading and of course walking. Irina also has extensive experience of looking after friends’ and neighbors’ pets: pets/house overnight sitting, feeding, puppy visits, brushing, and even giving a pet massage!
Irina is happy to take dogs to walk and play in a safe, friendly environment to reduce the stress of being alone for many hours and a lack of exercise. Every dog is special and she treats them as her own sending pictures to owners for their peace of mind. Dogs are members of our families and Irina treats them with endless love.
An avid animal lover Francesca grew up surrounded by the affection of her first dog Magic, a sweet Fox Terrier. During the last few years, she has been taking care of Bruce, her smart Jack Russell Terrier and Silvestro, her dear seventeen-year-old cat friend. She is Italian and from the very moment she arrived in the city, Francesca went straight looking for new pet friends. She loves walking and she is always ready for discovering new beautiful parks where she can stroll with her friends.
