Zachary is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter! Observant, thoughtful, and ridiculously kind to people and pets! We know Huckleberry is safe, loved, and cared for when he is with Zachary. The price is beyond reasonable for the quality of care and attention that Huckleberry receives. I would recommend Zachary to anyone looking for dog care with a high quality sitter!

The twins had a great time! From daily pictures at the park to them sleeping all day when coming home, I can tell they had a blast. Thank you for watching them!

Our dog clearly had a great time loved making new friends and going to the park. Zach sent lots of pictures while we were away and communicated often thank you Zach and your family!

I was quite concerned about leaving Pumpkin at someone’s home, but Zack was so nice and welcoming that Pumpkin felt right at home from the moment she came out of the car. He took such good care of her, plus the daily trips to the dog park was a nice added bonus. We will be using Zack again, for sure.

Maxine has a ton of dog toys, and she is forever playing with them. Throwing the toys for them to retrieve and other games. In the yard and on the way to the car, the dogs will be on a leash.

Pets

A typical day

Getting up, Max will throw toys to the dogs to retrieve or have them try to pull them out of her hand. We have so MANY toys! If we drive somewhere, the dogs are coming with us. The first run might be at the Waterman Dog Park, which is only five minutes from our house. For the second outing, we might go to Blackstone Park or hiking trails behind Lincoln School. In the winter, we take the dogs to the beach, and they love it. We make sure they drink water after a run. The dogs sleep where they like to sleep, either on the bed with Max or on the dog beds.
