Safety, trust & environment

I have two dogs of my own. I feed/provide medication to them regularly (might go without saying) and I love to cuddle up with them on the floor and play with their toys with them. I’m very affectionate and will give your pets lots of attention and love.

Information Zach D. would like to know about your pet

I want to know any silly quirks or funny habits your adorable animals may have, and where their food, meds, leash, and toys are! Or anything else you can think of!

A typical day

My day is based around their preferences, and I’ll give them the care they need with lots of playtime! There will be plenty of fun and exercise every day!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs of my own since I was able to walk and talk. I work hard and play harder with our furry friends! I am a fast learner, and can assist with training pups or taking care of senior dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I was able to learn from him how to care for your pets.

Zach was wonderful staying in our home with our pets. He even took my 2 cats to the vet when they unexpectedly needed care. I highly recommend him and I hope to book him again

Zach took great care of our house and pets again! We're always thankful when he can house and pet sit for us. We appreciate the attention Zach gives our furry family members and trust that they're in the best hands!

Zach was quite simply AMAZING! He took excellent care of our circus and our house for 6 days. Our usually neurotic and standoffish hound loved him from the minute he walked in the door. Zach has a natural connection with animals that was very evident. 10/10…would recommend!
