Zachary was absolutely perfect with my dog! He was incredibly responsive and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and made sure she was comfortable and happy. Communication was excellent from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone. One thing that really stood out happened after her stay. We walked by Zachary apartment building, and my dog immediately recognized it and seemed like she wanted to go back. It was obvious she felt safe, comfortable, and enjoyed her time there. Thank you Zachary!

I was nervous leaving my dog with a new dog sitter for multiple days, but Zach put my mind at ease! He was attentive with updates and photos (I never had to ask - he just did it!). Zach's dog, Archie, is also super sweet and your dog will love having a built in bestie. Will be trusting Zach again in the future!

Zach and his wife were so kind and communicative with us while they kept our Sisi for almost a week. This was the first time I have ever left her and I could instantly tell she was in good hands. They handled her quirks and diva behavior very well!

Zachary was a big help to us in providing care for our dog for our wedding weekend and was really flexible in drop off/pick up times, which was really helpful during that time! Sounds like Rocket also had fun playing with their dog Archie again too :)

Zach is the best! Sent pics when we were away to let me know he was doing great. Would highly recommend!

Dexter had a positive experience and returned home happy after staying with Zach and Valerie for nearly two weeks. Based on our experience Zach and Valerie are reliable and caring pet sitters, and I would recommend them for anyone needing pet sitting services in the future.

I have a sixth sense now for any dog shenanigans, and I’ve dealt with puppy behavior. If there are any concerns ahead of time please just let us know and we can most likely figure out something that’ll work.
