Zach provided daily updates with lots of pictures, took my dog to the park and she seemed to be having a great time. I highly recommend him.

Zachary is very caring and kept us well informed during our dogs stay with him. He took Della to the park each day, which greatly pleased us and Della lol

Zachery went above and beyond to take care of my dog Sophie. I will definitely go to him again next time I go away on vacation.

Zachary was wonderful taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. He sent lots of photos and updates, and checked in about how much our dog was eating. Would recommend and will be returning!

Safety, trust & environment

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.
