There is nobody else I would trust more with my pets and my home than Zach. He is as honest and genuinely caring as they come. His work as a veterinary technician also gives me peace of mind, knowing that if anything should come up medically, Zach is totally equipped to handle it. It is not easy caring for 4 big dogs (3 Mastiffs and a Rottweiler), but Zach makes it seem effortless, and they love him. I would unequivocally recommend him.

Zach is more than a dog or pet sitter. He has critical expertise about animal health that was acquired through years of work as a vet tech. We would have never been able to travel knowing that our senior dog was not in such great hands. Zach provided us with constant updates and tended to issues that a regular pet sitter isn't trained for. I can't describe in words how beneficial it is to have someone there who you can trust with such confidence. We can't thank Zack enough for his caring and his professionalism.

You will simply not find a more experienced, reliable, and dependable animal caregiver. Zach will not only care for them, but his extensive experience, training, and skills gained with many years as a veterinary technician will assure you that your pets are in very safe hands. As if that would not be enough, it is Zach's understanding of your close relationship with your pets and your pets' individual needs that makes him one of a kind. I give him the highest of all recommendation.
