Lifetime dog lover and foster dad
Pet care experience
I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I raised a puppy when I was 14, and in the last year have fostered 3 different dogs. Neighbors, friends and coworkers have grown to rely on me to walk or board their dogs in a jam, and I'd love to open up my services to the wider community. I have a crate if needed, and tons of toys for your dog to play with.
Reviews
Zachary was professional and wanted to understand my dog Leo to take care of him.
Zach was a lovely sitter! I felt that he cared about my dog Pebbles the same way I would. Communication was impeccable not to mention Zach was also fun to talk to! Zach kept my updated every day and Pebbles seemed to be so comfortable in Zachs home. Zach checked in to make sure Pebbles had everything she needed so she can truly thrive. 10/10!! Will book Zach whenever I'm leaving town again 🙌🏾 Thanks so much for caring for Pebbles Zach!
Zachary was great! He did a meet and greet and asked good questions to understand my dog’s needs. I felt good leaving my dog with him—he demonstrated a good understanding of Chihuahuas and made mine felt comfortable quickly. He has a warm and trusting demeanor, look forward to booking him again in the future!
Zachary was a great walker for our dog Finley. He was extremely communicative, sent pictures of our dog and we felt like he was in great hands. Would highly recommend!
About Zachary H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The dogs safety and comfort is my number one priority. Making sure that the dog feels safe and comfortable with specific areas of my home to hang out in, either with or without a crate, and giving them plenty of space as I see fit. And of course, giving them lots of attention and pets when we both feel comfortable with one another. **Note that there may be additional charges for last minute requests, or requests for dogs that may have specific needs.
Home
Information Zachary H. would like to know about your pet
Basic information about your dogs temperament is important. Do they get along with other dogs they pass on walks, or are they a bit jumpier? Do they prefer being in a crate when home, or do they just tolerate it, or hate it altogether? What do I need to know about your dogs diet, including any allergies? Do they have a favorite type of toy (puzzle, rope, plushy, etc)?
A typical day
A typical day with me would consist of lots of walks, lots of pets, and lots of treats (as long as mom or dad allow it). I usually start the morning off with a basic walk around the block (about 10 mins), with a much longer walk at lunch time. I'll usually go to either Astoria Park or a smaller park depending on the dog. After lunch is usually downtime, either snoozing on the couch or sunbathing on my protected, private balcony. After a sunset walk is usually dinnertime followed by enrichment time, which could be a lickpad with peanut butter, a favorite toy or something homemade. We'll do one short walk before bed.

Availability
I work from home and thus have plenty of availability to take your dog for walks including to the park. I usually start my day off with a morning walk, followed by one at around lunch time, one after work, and one before bedtime.
