Availability
I currently work doing pizza delivery around 30+ hours a week. I can come home once or twice a shift between deliveries, but Id say that your pet needs to be comfortable being alone for at **LEAST** 4 hours at any given time. I've already had issues with a clients dog not handling my schedule well and damaging property as a result -- so I need to be clear on this. I am not home 24/7, but I can try my best. I also prefer a minimum 2 day notice for requests. You can still attempt to request boarding if its last minute, I get it, life happens. But I cannot guarantee a confirmation on anything less than 2 days.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard and currently no other animals or people in my home. I can provide a safe and comfortable living space for a dog. I do not mind if they are on my furniture or if they want to sleep in my bed at night. Disclaimer: If I do not feel comfortable with a booking, I do reserve the right to deny a request for any reason.

Information Zachary S. would like to know about your pet
The main things I need to know ahead of time is if they are potty trained and if you would provide any toys/leash/etc. I live alone and have no pets, so there are no concerns with aggressive or territorial behavior. I just want to make sure they'll do their business in my backyard to avoid any carpet stains (I do have a shampooer, accidents happen) and if youll provide toys, as I dont have any. As for walks, I would be more than happy to as long as you provide their leash/harness.
A typical day
I can play both sides of the coin. Im down to either play fetch and tug of war all day, or just crash on the couch and pet'em for 2 hours straight. I love trying to communicate to them with body language and see what they're thinking. I also take them for a few 15 minute walks daily as the neighborhood is quite nice.

Gentle Giant looking to walk dogs
Pet care experience
I grew up with pets my whole life - ferrets, fish, cats, and primarily bigger dog breeds (cocker spaniels and Labradors). I'm the kind of person who will show up to a party and hang out with your dog instead of the people for 3 hours. It is a given that I love animals, and ever since I moved from my family after covid, I am not able to have a long-term pet in my living situation. I do sometimes take care of my neighbors cat, however I'd like to spend more time with dogs as they are my favorite.
Reviews
Zach was great! I really appreciate he receives one client per booking, that was helpful for my anxious dog. They loved being couch potatoes and going to the outside to play and hunt invisible animals. My dogs felt at home really fast! Also he was willing to learn a couple of commands in Spanish to communicate with my mexican dogs ❤️.
Zachary was wonderful with my girls! And very flexible with pick up and drop off times which was great! Thank you! Will definitely rebook
Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!
Our Senior baby was very comfortable with Zach. He walked into the house without any trepidation. We
