Pawsitively impacting canine lives

Dogs are my whole life. I have over 15 years experience fostering and rehabilitating dogs for local rescues.

I use modern positive reinforcement dog training/teaching techniques. I speak dog. Owner of Pawsitive Impact LLC

Zach was fantastic taking care of Lego over the 4th of July weekend. He sent daily photos and was super easy to communicate with and met with us prior to our booking. Will definitely be using him again for future dog sitting.

Dog Walking • Jul 03, 2025

Excellent service for 2 years now. I was very fortunate to find Zach to walk my older German Shepherd once daily up until her recent passing. Very gentle, good communication, and my dog adored him. Paid close attention to my pet’s changing needs as she aged. I highly recommend Zach.

Zach has been such a wonderful and consistent walker for our dog! I could tell right away that he just gets dogs and they love him. I know my dog is thrilled when he is there and he has even helped us use a more gentle and positive approach to training him on a leash. Thank you Zach!

I would highly recommend Zach . I have a energetic Shepperd who is just learning her commands Zach worked with her on her training, and she came home wore out and happy ! I will be using him again in the future

Zach is a dog trainer and works with a local animal rescue with training their behavior dogs. He is a very calm and patient man and all animals love him. I recently hired him to work with one of my unruly pitbulls and he had made huge difference in my dogs behavior. I would highly recommend Zach to work with any animal.

I run a large dog and cat rescue in the Omaha area and have worked with a lot of trainers, walkers, pet sitters, etc over the years and can tell you that Zach is one of the BEST! He does training for our rescue and has fostered before in the past. He is extremely dog savvy, honest, reliable and uses an all positive reinforcement/relationship based approach. Our dogs love his gentle mannerisms which allows him to build trust with even the most fearful dogs. I cannot say enough good things about Zach! I highly recommend him for any dog related services!

Schedule

I am self employed and I am available all throughout the day. Caring for pets is my daily priority. Also my girlfriend works from home m-f and we are homebodies, so your pup will rarely be home alone. My preferred hours for walks are between 8am - 6pm

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own. For my boarding clients, your dog will have their own room so they can be away from my dogs and cats if needed. I have a dog room in my basement I use for boarding. In the dog room we have couches and a TV to help your dog feel right at home. I only take one one boarding client at at time to ensure your dog will get the most of of their time with me. I treat every dog I meet as if they are my own and I do every thing I can in order to help them be happy and comfortable.

A typical day

I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all dogs. I have a variety of enrichment activities, games and puzzles, as well as some basic agility equipment and a large park down the street from my house we can walk and run around at.
