Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & Reliable Dog Walker/Sitter
I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, cats, and reptiles. Growing up in a home full of pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a curious gecko, I truly love all animals and take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, and their safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

Safety, trust & environment
While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I live in a very dog-friendly area with several parks nearby that I regularly visit with my own dog. I love being outdoors and make it a priority to give dogs plenty of time outside for exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. I also have a spacious SUV that’s perfect for safely transporting dogs to local hiking trails and nature spots throughout Fairfield and neighboring towns.
Ratings and reviews
Zachary took great care of my cat and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He was responsible, attentive, and treated her like his own. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver.

Schedule
I’m available full-time for pet care, with a flexible schedule that allows me to be there when you and your pets need me most—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. As a current dog owner and an active individual, I naturally incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my daily routine. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, and staying on the move, which means your pup will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Alongside my love for animals, I work as a artist, which gives me the flexibility to manage my time well and be fully present for the pets in my care. I understand the value of trust and reliability—both in real estate and in pet care—and I bring that same level of professionalism and dedication to every pet I look after. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and activity tailored to their needs.
