Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important your pet is to you, which is why I prioritize trust and reliability above all else. Please let me know how your dog reacts to other people and dogs to help me tailor my care to their needs.

Information Zachary R. would like to know about your pet

Definitely the basics like food, water, sleep, treats, tricks, personality, energy levels, etc but also if there’s any behavior I should be aware of (especially while out of the house).

A typical day

On top of playing with toys, lots of pets, and going on long walks, please let me know which tricks/commands they know and I will make sure to run through them throughout the day! I want to make sure they’re getting enough attention to keep them happy while you’re gone.

Pet care experience

Not only did I grow up with 2 dogs, I’ve also been the go to guy to take care of my friends and families pets while they’re away (both cats and dogs). I have experience with senior and injured pets and am happy to cater to the specific needs of your pets. I'm here to ensure your pets get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve to stay happy and healthy! I also love taking pictures and will make sure to snap a few good ones of your pet!

Zach has been fantastic with our dogs, Bo and Millie. He’s dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention at the dog park. They always come home happy, tired, and well cared for. It’s clear he loves what he does, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. I highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog walker!

I had a wonderful experience with Zachary! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt updated on how Stewart was doing. As the owner of a senior dog with mobility challenges, it's not easy leaving him in someone else's care, but I felt completely at ease. He was incredibly patient, attentive, and compassionate with Stewart, making sure all of his special needs were taken care of. It was clear that he genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone, especially if you have a senior or special-needs dog who needs a little extra love and attention!

Zachary has been great taking care of my 3-legged dog Lola! She requires a lot of medication and just a bit more attentiveness to her leg and he has always taken great care of her and is extremely responsive
