About Zachary G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take great care to create a calm, gentle, attentive environment that feels safe and familiar for animals. I pay close attention to their routines, signals, and comfort zones. I am someone who insists on clarity. I understand the importance that instructions are clearly understood and for you to feel the comfort of that while you’re away. I communicate clearly, efficiently, and effectively. It takes a real trust to leave your animals and your home in someone else's hands, and I take that responsibility with utmost seriousness—treating your space and your companion with the respect they both deserve.

Pet care experience
Animals have always trusted me, and I take that seriously. I've cared for pets in all stages of life—whether it’s a high-energy pup needing structure or an older cat who just wants safe and spacious company. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament and needs, and I’m often told I bring a calming presence. Friends and family have relied on me for years to step in when they’re away, knowing their pets—and their homes—will be treated with care and respect.

Reviews
Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!
I was faced with a very difficult situation just a couple of days before Zack began his stay with the dogs. I had a flood in the kitchen and the HOA insisted on Disaster Mitigation, which was horribly unsettling, disruptive and noisy. My entire kitchen was and still is, 4 weeks later, turned upside down and inside out, and for most of the tie he had no cooking facilities or laundry. Zack dealt with this very calmly, took it completely in his stride. Because he was so calm the dogs were calm too, despite all the upset on top of my absence. I did everything I could to make the situation easier for him but I left for a 24 day trip to Europe and had only very limited wifi for most of the time.
Zack has been a very close friend of mine for a long time. He’s very mindful and gentle with animals. He has helped with watching my dog Hobbs several times and I feel very comfortable with him on duty. Hobbs does too! Please consider Zack for all your pet needs!!!
Zack is one of the most responsible and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. I have two dogs he loves hanging out with, and they absolutely love him right back. He’s patient, attentive, and truly enjoys spending time with pets. Whether it’s going on long walks, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving extra attention and affection, Zack always goes the extra mile. I would completely trust him to care for my own dogs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet caregiver.
