Pet care fits perfectly into my life right now. I’m currently in a transitional phase as I work on launching my own business in the area, which means my schedule is wide open and very flexible. This gives me the time, energy, and presence to fully focus on your pet’s needs—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just quality time and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending my days with dogs, and being available during this chapter of my life makes it even more meaningful.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s perfect for hosting furry guests. There’s a large open field right behind my building where dogs can play, stretch their legs, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. My complex also has an animal bathing station, which makes it easy to keep pups clean and comfortable after outdoor fun. Inside, my home is cozy, safe, and welcoming—set up with your pet’s comfort in mind. Plus, there are often friendly neighborhood dogs around, so if your dog enjoys socializing, they’ll have plenty of playmates (always with your permission, of course!). Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, and care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs.

Your Dog’s New Best Friend!!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s truly a part of who I am. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child, and they’ve always been family to me. My own dog, Milo, is my heart. The bond we share reminds me every day how deeply I love and understand dogs of all kinds. Whether it’s playing with a high-energy pup, comforting a senior dog, or simply being present and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, I bring patience, love, and intuition to every moment. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they’re souls, companions, and constant reminders of unconditional love. I care for every dog as if they were my own, and it shows in the little things: the extra belly rubs, the mindful walks, and the calm presence I offer when they miss home.

Zachary was great! Very responsive, accommodating and easy to coordinate with. I am usually a little more proactive with checking in on Delilah when I'm out of town, and I really appreciated Zachary reaching out to me with videos and photos of her having a blast while I was busy. Bonus that he has a huge yard right next to his place as well so she could get plenty of exercise!

Zachary was so attentive to my anxious boy and helped him feel comfortable right away. He sent regular pictures and videos so I could see how much fun he was having! His dog Milo was so sweet and welcoming to my Mylo, and they became fast friends! Zachary is very responsive and a great communicator! Will definitely book again!
