Pet care experience
Go-to guy on quality pet care
Hello Wonderful pet parents of WNY! My name is Zach, I am a nomadic soul with a love for animals. Be them furry, feathered, or scaly, I enjoy caring for all animals. I love to spend my time outside, exploring parks around the area, preferably finding peaceful places. Taking a dog or two (or ten) is my favorite way to do this. I am ready and willing to get your dogs out and about. I understand that each animal has specific needs and I strive to meet these goals. Dietary, exercise, separation anxiety, medical, I give my full attention to the animals in my care. While housesitting, I am a one-man cleaning crew. I thoroughly enjoy cleaning, doing dishes, vacuuming, just about anything that keeps me a busy-body. When you trust your home to me, you have complete peace of mind. And coming home to a well-kept space is always a good thing. From simple drop-ins and 15 minutes walks to multi-week housesits, I am your go-to guy for quality care.

Safety, trust & environment
In order to provide the best care possible, I place a strong emphasis on making a positive initial meeting, both with pets and their parents. After that, I do all I can to learn the ins and outs of each pet. Every animal is unique in disposition and personality, and so I treat each stay uniquely. Above all, I maintain regular communication between owners and myself. Each night I am sitting, I send a photo and a brief message checking it.
Ratings and reviews
Zach is awesome, such a good sitter and treats my dog like his own. This is the second time I’ve had him pet sit, and with short notice he was still available and happy to help. Highly recommend!
Zach went above and beyond while staying with my dog for 5 days. He was in constant contact with me, was friendly with my neighbors, sent pictures daily, and even weeded my yard and watered my garden. I would absolutely recommend Zach for pet sitting, he’s great!
Zach is thoughtful, kind, communicative and so caring with the dogs they barely knew we were gone. Fantastic with the dogs, and the house was well tended. Lucky us. You won't go wrong. He makes us want to leave town again!
Zach is reliable and is great about communicating. He takes great care of Devi, my 9 month old puppy. He is very patient with her and has even helped her with her leash manners. I highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker.
Zach was amazing with our 2 labs. He was very attentive and communicative and easy to work with. He took great care of our boys and reached out to ask questions when one of our dogs seemed to not be doing well.
Zach went above and beyond taking care of my pets. It was so nice to fully trust someone to watch my house and he was amazing with the pets! Highly recommend!
