Safety, trust & environment

Im pretty much always with my cat back home as he has a very needy personality. I brush him once a week, clean his box, and feed him 2 times a day. With huskies in the past I’d take them for runs one or two at a time, and feed them all individually.

Information Zachary S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any special needs or wants for your dog. If you have a high energy dog that you want to go on runs let me know so I can be sure to bring a dog running belt. With cats let me know if hey get anxious when you are away so I can look for any stress hair balls that they may have left around. Let me know areas that small animals may hide or relax so I can be sure to find them, and if they are darters.

A typical day

If you have a dog I can play fetch with them, I can give them pets and treats. I don’t mind at all taking them for bathroom breaks on a leash or taking them on runs around the area you live. For cats I can bring cat nip if you like, and I can play with them using toys or even a shoe lace since that’s my cats favorite toy.

Grew up in the barn yard.

Pet care experience

I grew up with at least 5 pets in the house, cats and dogs, with various energy levels. I use to take care of Alaskans sled dogs as a job, so I’m looking to get back into looking after pets. I’m familiar with high energy dogs, and wouldn’t mind taking them for runs if needed or desired.

Zach was very easy to communicate with and gave me updates every day. My dog seemed happy and healthy in his updates which eased my mind.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Zachary and his help! During our recent trip to Europe, we had two sitters for our trip, Zachary one week and our friend the second week. After an emergency with our friend, Zachary agreed to come back for the full second week on very short notice. He saved our trip by giving us peace of mind while we were away trying to navigate the situation. Our dogs were very well taken care of and the house was very clean! He was very responsive, he sent us photos and updates regularly. I could tell how deeply he cared for our pets just in the way he would speak and ask questions. He is our go to sitter now! Thank you Zachary!
