Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Student Near Airport Available for Dog Sitting
I provide professional care for pets, backed by three years of experience as a veterinary assistant and trained in managing stress and ensuring safety. I have 1.5 years of dog sitting experience, including walking a mildly aggressive dog safely. I live with three veterinary students, so supervision is constant. I handle large breeds confidently, including Cane Corso experience. I drive, so pick up, drop off, and emergency vet visits are always available, and I am happy to travel to the city as well. You will receive daily photos or videos so you stay informed and reassured.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommended. Diamond had injuries in her spine few weeks before our holiday and we are worried so much about it. But Zack has been amazing and understands her needs. She has been pampered with lots of love, cuddles and care. Zack treated Diamond as his own.I would like to say a big thank you to Zack because of you we can enjoy our holiday without any stress.
Zack looked after Dylan for 10 days and honestly went above and beyond. He kept in touch with me every single day with updates and photos, which made such a difference — I always felt completely reassured that Dylan was happy and settled. When Dylan came home he was super relaxed, calm, and clearly very comfortable in Zack’s care. It genuinely felt like he’d had a proper home‑away‑from‑home experience. Dylan has quite a few quirks and can be a very strong dog who gets nervous in new situations, but Zack handled everything with real experience and confidence. He understood Dylan’s personality straight away and gave him the patience, structure, and calm environment he needs. It’s not easy to find someone who can manage a dog like Dylan so well, and I’m incredibly grateful. We can’t wait to book with Zack again — highly recommended.
Theo had the best time with Zack once again. His first long weekend away (which we were kind of nervous about!) but he was absolutely settled. Even made himself a new best friend with the neighbour's dog - a pleasant surprise for us! Couldn't recommend Zack enough and already planning for the next one :)
We feel like Merlin is in the safest hands with Zack. He keeps him happy, walked and entertained for the whole time he's there, and we get an incredible amount of updates and pictures (even video!) to let us know that our boy is happy. Zack even did a great pick up and drop off service for us which we were super grateful for. Always happy to book with Zack!
Star from start to finish. Zack handled our very energetic whippet puppy Merlin like it was no big deal. Taking him on walks and running him ragged to the point Merlin was happily settled by the evenings. Received loads of updates throughout Merlin's stay. We will definitely be coming back!
We were so pleased to find Zak, and him and Theo really seemed to get on right from the initial meeting. The consistent photos and messages we received from Zak while we were away really put us at ease, knowing that Theo was enjoying himself - spending most of his time snoozing from the sounds of it! We'll definitely be booking Theo in to stay with Zak again soon :)

Schedule
I plan my study schedule around feeding, walks, medication, and monitoring. Living with three veterinary students means pets are rarely alone and always observed. I schedule walks at consistent times, manage behaviour calmly, and provide daily photo or video updates. I also keep my car available for transport or urgent veterinary visits when needed. If my schedule cannot meet your pet’s needs, I do not accept the booking because your pet’s welfare comes first.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide structured but relaxed care, tailored to your pet and your home rules. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for short, supervised outdoor breaks. Indoors, pets move freely and can rest on furniture or my bed if they are toilet trained. I monitor behaviour, appetite, and comfort throughout the day and adjust care based on stress or health changes.
A typical day
Activities depend on your pet’s age, health, and behaviour. I provide structured walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation daily. For dogs, this includes leash walks, controlled exposure for reactive dogs, fetch, scent games, and basic training reinforcement. At home, calm interaction, lots of cuddles, and rest periods to prevent overstimulation. I adjust intensity based on fitness and medical needs, always prioritising safety and welfare. If your dog gets all dirty after play, I will bathe and brush them!!
