I currently live with 3 cats and when I’m not out and about or studying I’m playing and cuddling with them. We have a huge amount of toys that fill up our place and our kitties love sleeping in their toy box to hoard all their toys. We always have tons of extras in case our cats are feeling fickle and want something different. I have a lot of experience taking dogs out on runs and we’re planning to get a dog of our own soon too.

Safety, trust & environment

If you write out detailed instructions of your pets routine, I’ll follow them to the letter. I let pets on all the furniture in my house, and do very thorough vacuuming between stays so that there’s never a mess. I like to have dogs walked at least 3 long walks a day, and a few bathroom breaks as well. I like to make sure that pets never feel abandoned or lonely, and reassure them that there will always be someone around if they need help or want anything.

Information Zach Z. would like to know about your pet

What they’re like? Their energy level? What’re their favorite toys? What’s their favorite treat? Do they have any allergies? What bad behaviors should I look out for? Any training I should do while you’re gone?

A typical day

There’s quite a few dog parks around me, and I’d be happy to send videos of your pups playing around there everyday during their stay. There’s 2 parks, and I like to go on a bigger loop, around 2 miles long for dog walks if the pups are able. I go run in Scalzi park every day, so if your dog loves exercise I can work them until they’re tired and happy.

My home was a zoo

Pet care experience

Since I was a child my home has had about 5 animals in it at a time, mostly fosters. I started feeding all of them when I was about 7 years old, before school and after it. My dog Luna really liked running so this past summer I indulged her and jogged with her every single day. Right now my family home has 3 cats, Bowie, prince, baby, and 2 dogs Luna and Bella and I’m still their favorite person in the whole world. I’m currently between jobs while studying for actuarial exams and would love to assist pet parents any way I could.

Took great care of Rheia, tortoise, chickens and the house while I was away for an extended weekend. Would absolutely reach out again when I need someone to take care of the crew.

Zach is just outright a great person! Sent pics and videos of our 7 month old puppy and let me know what was happening with him at all times. It takes a special person to deal with Border Collie puppy energy:) Thanks Zach!
