Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Owner & Sitter
I have been around dogs for most of my life. My family got our first dog when I was two years old, a high energy pit bull mix who taught me how to keep up with active dogs and provide plenty of exercise and engagement. When I was twelve and then again when I was thirteen, we adopted a second and third dog both of which had much more relaxed personalities. Growing up with these two pups helped me learn how to care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends on numerous occasions. My experience ranges from caring for dogs during extended family vacations to stopping by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while owners are away for the day. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I am experienced with basic puppy training, administering medications, maintaining routines, and adapting care to each dog's individual personality and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I wholeheartedly recommend Zach as a pet caregiver. As a dog owner himself, caring for two dogs of his own, he brings genuine love and experience to every animal in his care. He has watched my dog on multiple occasions, and each time I’ve left feeling completely at ease knowing my pup was in great hands. Zach is responsible, attentive, and truly treats the pets he cares for as his own. Any pet would be lucky to have him!
I've trusted Zach to care for my dog, Koala, for years, and I truly cannot recommend him enough. We have been friends since childhood, and whenever I need someone to let Koala out during the day or care for her while my family is away, Zach is always my first call. Koala absolutely adores him and gets more excited to see him than just about anyone else. He is so sweet with her and is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. Whether they are rolling around in the grass, going on backyard adventures, or just hanging out together, he has a natural connection with dogs. I have been encouraging him to join Rover for years because I knew he would be amazing at it. Any pet would be lucky to have Zach caring for them, and I can confidently say he will treat your dog like one of his own.

Schedule
I currently work three nights per week as an EMT, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule and allows me to be available throughout most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or extended companionship while you are away, I am happy to accommodate their needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals. My home is stocked with toys, treats, fresh water, and comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and feel at home. I always follow owners' instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate use, and any other aspects of their pet's routine to help ensure a safe and stress free experience. For drop in visits and care in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I am happy to clean up after pets, refresh water bowls, provide meals, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency can be for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
