Pet care experience
I have had dogs for all my life, from little terriers to 130lbs+ Mastiff rescues. I love being able to make a great connection with a dog, walk around with them feeling comfortable, and then playing so they sleep well though the night. I lead an active lifestyle, and am not above taking excited pups for a little jog to get some of that energy out! I like to understand each dog’s personality and each pet parent’s rules and style so I can offer the best service and experience for pets and their humans. As a dog parent myself, I understand how nervous it can be leaving your furry friends in the care of someone else. I always stay in regular communication, and try and take some Instagram worthy photos.
Reviews
Zack has been the primary caretaker of our 130 lb. Mastiff mix for the past year or so. He has been able to take a rescue dog who was severely abused and had some behavioral issues into a trusting and loving dog who is great with people. He also takes care of my roommate's dog who was similarly rescued and suffered some behavioral issues with people. Zack was able to gain the dog's trust quickly. I highly recommend Zack for any and all pet care needs.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Establishing trust is most important. All animals have their own personality and you need to take things at their speed. Not forcing, but encouraging animals to explore out of their comfort zone is going to make them happier in the long run.

Information Zachary A. would like to know about your pet
General personality. A shy dog and an excited dog require different approachs. If the dog has a history of aggressive behavior is good to know. Aggressive behavior doesn't scare me as our dog is a rescue and had issues to work through herself.
A typical day
I love taking dogs to parks or local plaza. The bosque is always nice if it is not too hot. I also love taking my dog out in the neighborhood just to sit and relax, watch the world around her
