I don’t discriminate between dogs!
Pet care experience
I have an abundance of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds (from miniature 3lb Yorkies to 225lb Great Danes). I grew up taking care of over 40 dogs, even up to 7 at one time! I am currently a volunteer dog foster parent for sick and injured dog through PAWS Chicago. So I am no stranger to caring for dogs. I was even a Veterinarian Technician for a few years during my undergrad studies. Where I learned animal first aid, how to start an IV, intubation and other various animal safety protocols (which hopefully I’ll never have to use). My services include generalized hospitality, walking your dogs, feeding your dogs, bathing them if needed, soending genuine time getting to know them and care for them, home visits/overnight stays or boarding them at my apartment. I am the only occupant in my spacious apartment and I am not a smoker. I am available all week/weekend. Personally, I am 27yrs and have just finished my Master’s degree in Biomedical Science. I am a very active individual, usually working out 6 times a week. Therefore, taking your dogs an a walk/run would a hobby of mine. I can’t wait to meet your dogs!
Reviews
Zack was fantastic to communicate with from beginning to end. First in foremost, I had to unexpectedly go out of town and was able to book him the day before. He was willing to FaceTime me as unfortunately there wasn’t enough time for a meet and greet. Zack sent me photos and regular updates throughout the entire week which I personally loved. My boys seem so much happier after being with him than they did when we boarded them at a previous place and I can tell they were well cared for ? When I arrived back in town, I was locked out of my house. When I messaged Zack to let him know he instantly offered to bring my dogs to me. I’m about 30 to 40 minutes away from him so not super close. I can’t even put into words how much I appreciated him going above and beyond to do that for me, especially with the stress of trying to coordinate with a locksmith to get into my home. Zack THANK YOU so much!!
Zack is a very caring and loving person who will always provide a safe and fun environment for dogs. Whether on walks or just dog sitting, he will give very satisfactory results.
Zack is a genuinely caring and conscientious person who loves animals. He is completely reliable and trustworthy and always goes the extra mile to ensure our dogs are well taken care of. I would recommend him with no reservations to anyone in need of assistance with their pets.
Zack was available at the last minute, picked up and dropped off when he said he would, and sent us pictures of our dog while under his care. Thanks Zack!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for my pets in my home and/or my clients’ home on a regimented schedule. As agreed upon by the pet parents’ and myself. That includes food, water and bathroom times. I’ve cared for very young puppies before who need to go out throughout the night. So I am no stranger when it comes to losing a little sleep to make sure your pets are perfectly happy!
Home
Information Zack P. would like to know about your pet
Meal schedule, how long in between bowel movements and how long between potty breaks. It’s important to know if the dog has any allergies, certain medications any specific commands to the dog. If they are allowed on furniture or not (we don’t want to confuse the dog).
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs both mentally and physically. Dogs’ need both physical and mental exercise (especially puppies) to be at their absolute happiest. This includes walks, runs, tug of war, brain games (like find the food under the bowl, learning new commands {or course if allowed by the owners} and other brain games).
