Dog Dad and Animal Lover

I love animals. I am the proud papa of an adult male golden doodle who is the sweetest, well-tempered dog. We recently lost our other golden dood whom we raised since he was a puppy, and now my current boy (and I) could use some company. Whether your dog(s) are in need of a daily walk, a place to stay for an afternoon, or a weekend get-away, we would be happy to have your pup and accommodate whatever needs, no matter how unique, you may have to keep them safe and happy. My wife and I are dog lovers who live in a dog-safe home with the spacious yard. Our dog is very great with other dogs. He's never been aggressive and would happily have a walking buddy/ playmate. With us, you can rest assured that your dog will be safe and happy in our care. We realize how important pets are and cherish making as many new animals friends as possible. Big or small, cuddly or energetic, old or young, friendly or feisty, I will care for your furball as if they're my own, no matter their temperament, age, personality, size, or specialized needs. Please reach out to me if you have questions. I hope to meet you and your furry family.

My dogs absolutely LOVE when they get to see Zachary! His love and dedication to animals is apparent and he will do anything he can to keep the pets that he visits happy and healthy!

My dogs love Zach. He's always got a smile for them, a greeting and a welcoming touch. They listen to his voice, and wag their tails. They are happy to be with him because he shares his happiness to be with them. They respect his commands. They come home well exercised and ready to relax after their adventure. He knows their distinct personalities. He has dogs of his own. He is always full of energy, and tells me stories of what they did on their walk. I trust him and like him as a person. He is always so friendly. I highly recommend him.

Zach is great with dogs! He treats his own dogs like a part of his family and loves nothing more than playing with them or just hanging out with them. Zach is a kid at heart and dogs love him!

Zach has watched my dogs, Bristo and Baker many times in the past few years. I can always count on his dependability and my dogs are always excited to see him come back. My biggest struggle with Zach is finding another dog sitter if he is already booked.

Zach has been a dog lover his whole life and it shows. He can’t pass a dog without saying hi to them and asking to pet them. At Zach’s house, his dogs are a beloved part of the family. He loves to play with them and take them for walks and hikes.

Schedule

I'm available walk, hang out with, or walk your dog(s) any time, any day of the week. In a typical day, I'll walk my own dog twice, sometimes visit the park, or play in the backyard. I can accommodate/house your pet however you need, any given day or overnight stays. If your dog is okay around other dogs, we can be as flexible as you need to fit you and your pet's schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is the sweetest you'll ever meet and he absolutely love other dogs. He is a 7 year-old neutered male goldendoodle, non-aggressive and has never been dominant or territorial. When we go out, he is obedient yet energetic. When at home, he loves relaxing and taking naps. He is friendly with all dogs: big dogs, little dogs, males, females, puppies old timers, and all other dogs in between. We live in a home with a fenced grassy yard and a doggie door. We keep our house very tidy and puppy proofed so they can't get into stuff when they're feeling curious. We also have an unused large crate that your pup is welcome to use if that's what they use at home. I'm nearly always home, and always keep a close eye on them.

Pets

A typical day

If your dog is the energetic type, I like to go on walks and let them run around the large off-leash park nearby. If your dog is low energy, no problem. We can spend cozy time inside or lay in the grass in the back yard.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I'm happy to accommodate and switch things up for your dog's sake. I'm comfortable giving medications, and following any feeding/crating/ sleeping routines you have for them, no matter how specific. Also let me know about any rules, do's and don'ts, or how you'd like me to check in during your dog's time in my care.
