Pet care experience

I spent the last winter caring for 50 dogs in a dogsledding kennel, and mushing with them up in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. With a heart that pumps for 10,000+ feet of elevation and all things animal, there isn’t a dog I can’t wear out. Expect lots of hiking and any games your best bud likes to play. Other than that I fostered my own dog for 2 years before working as a deckhand on a fleet National Geographic expedition ships. Also grew up with two kitties, so I love and understand the feline fluffies as well.

Zack is excellent with dogs and all pets. He is kind and attentive to the needs of animals and I trust him completely with my pets. He has always been a great dad to his fur babies, making sure to always make his pets' well-being his top priority. I can't recommend him enough!

Zack has a ton of positive energy and he LOVES animals. He’s super playful with the active ones and gentle with the quiet ones. He’s a fun, smart, trustworthy guy.

Zack is a fantastic caregiver for furry friends everywhere! He has not only watched my dog on multiple occasions, he has taught her tricks and helped her to be more calm around my 2 young daughters. He exemplifies the very best of ethical and loving care. He goes above and beyond to connect with the animals in his charge. I highly recommend Zack for any pet that needs extra attention and affection!

Zack has been a good friend of mine for ten years. Zack is the most caring soul I have ever met. He would give you the coat off his back if you simple asked. Zack will be a great rover becuase he has a true love of all animals. From taking in a friends dog when she no longer could to working on multiple National Geographic voyages helping capture the worlds most beautiful animals to guiding a full team of sled dogs down in Colorado. Zack hung out with my dog, Riggins, while we were in Colorado and you could tell that he treats all dogs as if they were his own. Riggins was so sad when we had to say goodbye to Zack, to the point he didn't want to leave his side. Zack is also an outdoorsman, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise while hiking, exploring, and playing. I would trust Zack to take care of Riggins any time. This is due to the fact that I know he would not only have a blast, but make a life long friend just like I have.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as family. I honestly hold animals in higher regard than humans in most instances. I live in the apartment above the shop I work in, mainly wooden ship based construction. The area has a large yard and a quiet community for walks, but I largely intend to spend most of my time with your best bud outside, in the wild.
