Information Zachary O. would like to know about your pet

We want to know what your dog's favorite activities are and what s/he is like with other dogs and in the car. Does the dog need any medications or have any allergies?

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.

I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. My daughter, Max, is in college and loves at home. Together we take the dogs to dog parks and other adventures. We both love paying attention to and playing with the dogs.

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.
