Availability
As someone who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and check-ins during breaks or between work tasks. I also enjoy setting aside time in the mornings and evenings for more quality interactions, like feeding, cuddles, or even short training sessions. My remote setup means I'm available for quick updates and care whenever needed, making it easy to accommodate last-minute requests or provide continuous support for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring they have access to their favorite toys, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of opportunities for play and exercise. I maintain a routine similar to their own, so they feel at ease. I have a fenced in yard so there is plenty of opportunity for exercise/play time. If I’m sitting in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s usual schedule—whether that’s feeding, walks, or special care routines. I always ensure their environment stays familiar, reducing stress and keeping them as comfortable as possible. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize routine, love, and attention to keep pets feeling secure and happy.
Information Christian Z. would like to know about your pet
Before watching a pet, it's important to know: Dietary Needs: Feeding schedule, food restrictions, and treat preferences. Medical Information: Any medications, allergies, or health concerns. Behavior & Temperament: How they react to strangers, other animals, and new environments. Exercise Routine: Energy level and preferred activities. House Rules: Allowed areas, furniture rules, and any training commands they follow. Emergency Contacts: Vet information and owner’s preferred contact method. This helps ensure the pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in my care!
A typical day
When watching pets, I engage in fun activities tailored to their needs and energy levels. Some activities include: Outdoor Play: Playing fetch, going for walks, or running in a safe area. Interactive Games: Hide-and-seek, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to stimulate their minds. Training & Tricks: Teaching new commands or reinforcing good behavior with treats and praise. Cuddle & Relaxation Time: Providing belly rubs, brushing their fur, or just lounging together. Socialization: If appropriate, arranging playdates with other friendly pets. I ensure each pet has a fun and enriching experience while keeping them safe and happy!

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is my personalized approach to each pet's needs. I’m experienced in caring for both puppies and senior pets, with a special focus on gentle training and providing tailored care. Whether it’s administering medications to older pets or simply giving extra attention to pets with special requirements, I ensure every pet feels loved and safe while you're away. I also take the time to keep pets active, mentally engaged, and comfortable in their familiar environment, so they don’t feel stressed during your absence.
Reviews
So happy to have Christian available to help with my dogs whether for a walk or drop in. Highly recommend!
Christian kindly accepted our last minute request over this past weekend and our pups were in good hands while we were away for the day. We highly recommend Christian!
Our dog who is older and not fold of people she doesn't know. I was expecting my dog to be thrilled to see me after eight days but that was not the case. Christian must have handled her very well. Thank you!
Christian was great with our dog Paulie. He came when asked, stayed with Paulie as needed, and sent us updates to share how well our dog was doing when we were away. I recommend him to anyone looking for someone to help watch their dog or pet. Thanks Christian!
