Pet care experience

Dog Sitter - All Sizes Welcome!

I have taken care of pets for over 20 years. During my life I have cared for 5 different dogs and 8 different cats. I also grew up taking care of and raising hamsters, rats, degus (like small chinchillas), birds, and fish. We currently have a very large (110 lbs.) fur baby named Pablo. He is loved and taken care of with multiple walks a day and is on a complicated prescription medicine regimen. We also have two rescued formerly feral cats, Patches and Snickers. They enjoy hanging out in our basement and outside in our "catio."

Safety, trust & environment

I am organized with a high attention to detail. Whatever instructions or requirements your pet may have, I am confident I can follow them precisely. We have used several sitters for our own pets and I really understand the importance of following a sitting and care plan for an animal.

Zachary was fantastic! He completed drop in stops for our cat while we were out of town. He sent great updates and pictures during his drop ins. Next time we need a sitter for our cat, we will book with Zachary again.

Dog Walking • Sep 26, 2025

Zachary's first walk with Jagger was a success! He had excellent communication and kept me updated with pics. It was clear my dog had a wonderful time because he was in a great mood when I got home. Highly recommended.

Zachary was great! He completed drop in stops for our two pups and cat when we needed to be away for a short period of time and was unable to take them. He was attentive and sent prompt and thorough updates. Will book with Zachary again if needed! He was also very friendly!

Zack is a true dog lover, and a great dog handler and caretaker. He has been around dogs all of his life and is very experienced in all aspects of dog care including leash walking and exercising. He can support dogs of any size, age and personality. You and your dog will enjoy working with Zack!

We have known Zack for many years, and we would recommend him to anyone who wants a responsible, warm, and genuine person to take care of their pup! He is great with our lab, Bailey…she gets so excited when we tell her Zachary is coming! Your dog will love Zack too!

Dogs over 1 year old
Zachary can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I have a medically complicated dog (special diet, eye issues, allergies, multiple surgeries, etc.) so I know the importance of caring for your pets in a way that is attentive to their needs. Whatever they may need, I will be able to follow their plan. I love working with dogs of all sizes, but if your dog is especially large, as a bigger, stronger person, I will have no problem taking care of them, handling them, and walking them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
