Safety, trust & environment

I have years of dog walking and sitting experience. I'm comfortable with the full array of harnesses and leashes and have supervised countless play dates at dog parks if that's something your pup is into. I've always kept a great line of communication with pet owners so they know their loved ones are safe and most importantly - they know exactly what happened on their little guy's walk. Personally, I have two cats at home and I give them their little medicines so I am comfortable providing that service to your pet if needed.

Information Zachary S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there's any special needs I should know for your pup. I have some experience administering medicine as well as working with dogs that can have some leash aggression or a little high energy. Always happy to follow any specific guidelines you have.

A typical day

Love getting the chance to get some extra exercise along with your dog! Love going to visit a park when possible or just strolling through the neighborhood at their pace. Also happy to spend some time playing with their favorite toy when desired, and of course make sure I leave them with fresh water!

Pet care experience

I've been dog walking and sitting for four years in both New York and Los Angeles. I've worked with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes all over the city. I'm experienced in dog play groups and hikes. I've also administered medicine when needed. I grew up around pooches as small as Pomeranians and as big as Great Danes. I've done it all and can't wait to keep the good times rolling with your pup!
