Zach is wonderful! Kind and easy to work with, highly communicative. He and is dog Cardi took great care of Lily while we were gone. I could especially tell because she was notably even keeled when we picked her up. Certainly recommend.

Fantastic! Zach was respectful, attentive, and welcoming to my dog. Drop off/pick up was incredibly simple and I could tell my dog enjoyed his stay!

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule and typically am in office Tuesday and Wednesday. All other days I am home. I take my dog out at least a few times during the day and once before bed. I walk around 15k-20k steps a day so walks are definitely in store.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to enforce rules you all have set with your dog. Happy to crate or uncrate at night. My dog is very sweet and is a typical Golden.

Pets

A typical day

In the office Tuesday and Wednesday but walks before and after work. Attention and lots of pets and play with walks throughout the day on days I am not in the office. I try to ensure my priority is on your pet when I am watching them so I only leave for short periods of time for quick errands if needed.
