I live very close to Forest Hill Park, and spend lots of time there and the Buttermilk trail with and without dogs to walk. If you live elsewhere, I'll be exploring the green spaces near you with your dogs, and treating your personal space like the guest I am.

Information Zach K. would like to know about your pet

I like to have contact information for vets and local animal hospitals you trust. I also need to know about any medical conditions, reactivity to other animals and/or people, and what THEY like to get out of their walk-time.

A typical day

I spend lots of time outdoors, walking and exploring green spaces, whether I have a dog with me or not! Some dogs need even more exercise, and I am willing to throw the ball until your dog gives up and lays down.

More Energetic than your Canine

Pet care experience

I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets for many years now. I thoroughly enjoy their company, and they seem to enjoy mine as well. I am very energetic and love spending time outside. As a carer for dogs, I believe strongly that they should get a ton of out door exercise. If you choose me as a care provider, you can be assured that they will be very active during their time with me, and location and temperament permitting, will have plenty of fresh air and green space to enjoy.

Zach was a fantastic dog sitter. He took serious consideration of my dogs wants and needs and implemented them. The fact that he works from home gave me such peace of mind knowing that my dog would have companionship for the majority of the day. And when Zach says he loves being outside and active with dogs, he means it! I think my pup got more exercise with Zach than I've given her in years lol. Will be keeping him bookmarked for future sitting needs. Thanks, Zach!

Zach really helped me out last minute watching my pup. He was very communicative and took great care of Champ. Highly recommend!

Zack kept us informed and sent pics of all the hikes they went on. Sadie seemed happy and tired and made a new friend!

Super kind, responsive, and consistent! He had such patience with my fearful dog and put me at ease with his communication and great care-taking! I can tell he loves dogs. His walks have also done wonders for my dog’s energy, (which seemed never ending), I can already see a difference! She’s definitely more fulfilled and happy, making it clear he does a great job exercising her. 10/10, definitely would recommend!
