A well walked dog is a happy dog.
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Zach. I'm a former dog and cat owner who has a hole in his heart and would love the opportunity to look after that special friend in your life. I was raised in a household that included two outdoor cats, two horses, a German Shephard, hamsters, ferrets (so many, many ferrets) and a parakeet (one of the cats got to that one.) You can be assured that your furry friends will get plenty of love, playtime and happy memories when they are hanging out with me, so feel free to inquire as to my availability and I'd love to arrange a quick meet and greet. My pricing options are flexible, so let me know your situation and I'm sure we can reach a reasonable rate with minimal fuss. Rovers explanation on service rates is actually kind of confusing (i.e. "per dog per day" and "additional dogs") so like I said, I'm flexible in this area. Look forward to hearing from you, Zachary Thorpe
Reviews
Zach was great with our two pups! Very communicative and sent great pictures during their stay.
Awesome sauce!
Thanks again Zach for walking Harvey! Hope you'll be able to walk/watch him again sometime soon!
Recently, Zach was our house sitter for over a week during the holidays. Our dogs, Finn and Jackson, took to him immediately and it quickly became clear that Zach was a great fit. Upon return, we were welcomed by two happy dogs sporting cute, matching bandannas and a house in perfect, and possibly cleaner, condition. He definitely went above and beyond our expectations. We certainly would recommend Zach to our friends and plan on using him in the future. THANKS ZACH!
About Zach T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Depending on your dogs personality they are welcome to free reign on my home (5 spacious rooms, two enclosed porched for fresh air and sunshine. I also have a habit of playing with pets a few times every hour and I usually walk them every couple hours to keep them stimulated.
Home
Information Zach T. would like to know about your pet
Allergies, dietary restrictions (i.e. unauthorized snacks), disciplinary notes, history of past owners, behavioral triggers(does he/she play well with other dogs, afraid of men/women), anxiety issues, etc... Would like to know if a crate/cage and chew toys be provided, as well as what chew toys can NOT be given to the guest dog(deer antlers, synthetic ropes, etc...). Dogs definitely get separation anxiety and will want to chew on something, so guidance from the owner would be appreciated.
A typical day
Playing, chasing, tickling. The usual stuff dogs like! I especially love walking dogs as it's a great excuse to move around and explore! You're pup can expect four walks a weekday and six on weekends as I hate seeing a bored dog doing that thing where they plop down and loudly sigh ? Let me know if your special puo has any restrictions or anxiety invoking areas and I'll be sure to make it a outdoor time as fun and healthy as possible!

Availability
I work a 9-5 but only live 10 minutes away, so lunchtime walks are guaranteed! I hate the idea of anything going over 5 hours without a bathroom break 😂
