Care that your dogs & cats deserve
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs, cats and parrots for over 30 years. They are my own and the beloved pets of my community. I have studied animal behavior and conservation at the Zoological Society of London and the Royal College of Veterinary Sciences. I have deep love and care for all animals and believe that owners and the people caring for the animal must have a very positive attitude towards everything they say and do with their furry or feathered friends. We should arrange a meet and greet to talk about your and your pet's and needs and expectations, as well as for all to get comfortable with each other. Some dogs require a carer, like myself, with very good experience dealing with animals who have special needs, such as diet, age-related issues, bone and joint problems, post-Covid anxiety due to owners spending more time out of the house, puppy behavior, stress and anxiety issues and certain other behavioral problems. I can take your loved one on walks, do house sitting, make in-house visits, and focus on playtime or other activities that dogs and cats enjoy, all focused on learning or maintaining their good habits and while working with them in a positive method to stop any bad habits.
Reviews
A totally reliable person that truly loves dogs, cats, birds, etc. He knows his stuff and is able to figure out what my dogs want by looking at their eyes and how they behave. My two labradoodles adore him. I highly recommend Zach for any type of pet you have. He takes care of them like they are his own.
An amazing person knew exactly how to deal with my boxer puppy and two older cats. He asks all the right questions and is on time and a nice person all around who really enjoys what he is doing!
Zach is great with animals! He’s caring, compassionate, and educated in animal behavior. I have a small dog who would get anxious sometimes and Zack knew exactly how to shift his behavior and make him feel more at ease. I’m so grateful that my dog loves being around him and I totally trust him with my little guy. Zack’s love for animals is quite apparent. Highly recommend!!!
Great guy that really knows his stuff when it comes to taking care of our two dogs and an older cat. He only uses positive words and is constantly looking at their reactions that our family never noticed about our two 5- and 8-year-old Labs. They have become more active and lost some of the "Holiday weight" slowly in a nice way. Even our 10 year old cat approaches him when he arrives! usually she is scared of strangers.
