I'm wonderful with both dogs and cats, and I can guarantee you won't find someone more passionate or excited aboht meeting your furry family member than me! I'm a seasoned pet care professional with extensive experience in private pet sitting and full-time work in pet boarding and long term care. I have a profound love for animals and a commitment to their well-being, I've spent years developing a keen understanding of various pets' needs and behaviors.

Currently working full-time in a reputable local pet boarding facility, I excel in providing a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for all pets. At work my responsibilities range from routine feeding and grooming to specialized care for pets with unique needs, medical and behaivoral.

Not only that, but you can rest easy knowing you'll be working with someone whose not just on this app as a side gig- you'll have someone who does exactly this type of work every day professionally.

10 out of 10. Did a great job. Sent pictures every day and anytime I asked. My pets took to him very quickly. Kind, professional, responsible and responsive.

Zach is the best pet sitter I've ever hired! My kitty cats love him! One of the best decisions I've ever made. Hire with confidence!

Great guy! Loved getting to know him, and so did my husband and kids. Especially my dog though! Zach is likely our go to pet sitter for life now!

Well of course every pet is different, and as such there will always be little differences. I make a strong effort to monitor exactly what my cats are eating, how much and often they eat, weight, make sure they get plenty of exercise and socilzation, and take them for consistent vet visits. I can guarantee you the same degree of attention, caring and love with your pets. While working the animals I'm caring for they are my #1 priority.

Information Zach H. would like to know about your pet

I tend to ask about the pets likes and dislikes, favorite toys, if there's a local dog park, if they're a run outside past me risk, if there's special ways they enjoy being pet, if there's any health or behavioral issues (and the care they need) favored routes for walks, where they like to sleep, if any part of the house is off limits..those are the general things that come to mind for me right now. As much as I can learn about the pet, their habits and health, and general temperament.

A typical day

Some of my favorite days! I tend to wake up and spend some time socializing with them assuming things like food and water, bathroom time, and if nessecary any medicine/vitamins/etc. My usual plan is to follow that up with a really good walk and/or a nice visit to a dog park to run around and maybe play fetch or something (always assuming the dog and everybody else's are all getting along fine). We'll try for bathroom time again on the way home for rest and lunch! More bathroom time, socializing inside, a brisk night walk and a pre bed bathroom break to end the day. Obviously pets and situations can vary but I would say average healthy dog will have a day similar as I described. Walks, love and affection, play, food and water, bathroom time and rest.
