Pet care experience

Happy Animal Lover

I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I

Zachary is an exceptional sitter! From the moment we reached out, he was responsive, pleasant and kind. He took the time to ask all the right questions, making us feel confident our dog was in good hands. He went above and beyond by taking Maeby on long walks, engaging her with playtime, and ensuring she received love and attention. Zachary clearly cares about the animals he watches, 10/10 highly recommend

Zach has a huge heart for animals, especially dogs. He understands the importance of pack mentality and can handle dogs with strong personalities. He is communicative, reliable and respectful.

I have known Zachary Heidemann all of his life and if he were still local to me he would be my first call to watch my animals. Hands down. He loves animals, animals love him. He seems to have been born with a natural way with the animals. Especially dogs and cats. Zachary is dependable and kind and honest and trustworthy. If you are lucky enough to have him care for your animals then you will find yourself worry free while they are in his care. Sheila Arrildt

Schedule

I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.
