Pet care experience
I grew up with big dogs, but I rescued a lil yorkie-tzu puppy off the street and we were together 14 years! I'm comfortable with all breeds, all ages and I'm taking my dog care experience and education to the next level.
Reviews
I’ve always known Zachary to have at least one dog, if not more; at least one cat, if not more...Zachary grew up in an active, animal-loving, animal-saving household so it was no question who to call when it came time for help with my own animals. I am very picky about who I entrust my furry family members to whilst I am on holiday or stuck at work. Zachary is professional, courteous and responsive. He takes our dogs on walks and hikes, they come home tired and happy. I sometimes think they don’t want to come home at all—they’d rather stay with Zachary!

Within a few weeks I will have finished renovating my new home in beacon, and I plan to expand into longer term boarding. I am caring for my big, awkwardly adorable shepard mix Lemmy. He's a little loud and overbearing, as shepards tend to be, so he would stay at home and introductions to new dogs will only be made with their people's consent. He's genuinely harmless, but I wouldn't want to stress anyone out. I love nature as much as dogs do, I may be open to longer adventures to the park or trails, for a light hike if possible. When I am in a client's home, I work respectfully and professionally. I managed kitchens for a decade, so I'm a bit of a clean freak. I'm basically looking forward to finding a launchpad for a career in dog care. Can't wait to meet you and your dog!
Information Zachary K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if there are any behavioral quirks I should be aware of, such as leash aggression, feeding habits, and their behavior around other dogs and/or children. Personally, I'm comfortable with almost any dog but preparedness and knowledge is key here! BONUS discounts for 30-60 min walks, if you are a Croton-on-Hudson resident. All dogs are good dogs!
A typical day
I like to explore the local scenery as much as possible. I will inquire about activities that your dog is comfortable with, and pick the best option within our time restraints.

Availability
I'm available Saturday & Sunday anytime of day, but my weekdays are a little less predictable. Most Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are available, however. My projected availability will be updated daily, to the best of my ability.
