Hello! This is my full time Job! I specialize in single family boarding, which means I only host dogs from one household at a time. Whether you're traveling with one dog or several, your pets will have the entire home and yard to themselves with no unfamiliar dogs, unless you ask, I have families with goldens always looking for play mates that I can invite. This creates a calm, safe, low stress environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Dog boarding fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full time and intentionally structure my schedule around the dogs in my care. I'm very detail oriented and definitely Type A, so I don't believe dogs should be left alone for long periods, that's just my personal policy. Your pets will receive constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, enrichment, plenty of affection, and individualized attention throughout the day. I have over 10 years of professional experience caring for dogs and have built my business almost entirely through word of mouth. Because of that, I've had the privilege of caring for more than 200 returning client families without ever needing a platform like Rover. I'm excited to now be part of the Rover community and provide the same level of care that has earned the trust of so many loyal clients. If you're looking for a peaceful, personalized boarding experience where your dogs are treated like family, I'd love the opportunity to care for them and make them feel right at home.

A typical day

I treat every pet like they're on their own little vacation. Depending on their personality and energy level, we'll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment toys, and lots of attention. For more active dogs, I love playing in the yard, going on walks, and keeping them engaged with games like hide-and-seek or treat puzzles. For more relaxed pets, I'm happy to spend time cuddling, giving belly rubs, and providing a calm, comfortable environment. Safety and comfort always come first, so every activity is tailored to your pet's age, energy level, and any special instructions you provide. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see all the fun they're having while you're away!

Pet care experience

I've loved and cared for dogs for over 12 years and treat every pet like family. I provide a safe, clean, loving home with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and regular updates for owners. Since I work hard to keep pets comfortable and maintain their routines, you can have peace of mind knowing your dog will receive reliable, attentive care while you're away. My home provides plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax and play. I keep a clean, calm environment and focus on making each dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I only accept dogs I can give plenty of individual attention.

He’s the man, I love my dog like crazy and he’s made me feel super comfortable leaving my baby with him. Update pics, a bunch of love and attention like it’s his own dog! Highly highly recommend, book and don’t worry one bit!

Zachary was absolutely wonderful with my little puppy! 🐶❤️ He was so patient and caring with him, and I could tell my puppy was comfortable and happy when I picked him up. I really appreciated that he was able to accommodate me last minute and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Zach was so wonderful with our pup! He communicated well, sent us adorable videos of her, and gave her a ton of attention. We could tell how happy our dog was in his home and look forward to future visits.

I can be pretty picky about who I leave my dog with, and Zachary exceeded my expectations. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Pickup and drop off were easy, and my dog came home relaxed and happy, which says everything. It’s clear he treats the dogs like they’re his own. I’ll definitely be using Zachary again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.
