Pet care is my sole focus and source of income. Caring for your family and animals is my priority above everything else life has to offer. I have several clients every day as well as my own pets. My home has three pet rooms for your friend to stay if they need complete separation, as well as multiple safely fenced yard spaces. Additionally, our outdoor kennel is a safe space for livestock guardian dogs who may not want to come inside. We are able to care for almost any kind of animal, except for maybe a giraffe! 🦒

Information Zakary S. would like to know about your pet

Pets must be clean and free of internal and external parasites. Dogs over 6 months must be vaccinated for rabies. Please let me know if your pet/s have any special care needs or medications so we can discuss a care plan.

A typical day

Each day's routine depends on who is staying. Active pets receive tons of outdoor play as long as the weather is nice, and lower key pets usually get taken for off-leash pack walks on the fenced-in property. Meal, medication, and bed times are scheduled by the owner.

Pet care experience

I have been a pet care professional for over 15 years. As a veterinary technician, I helped treat pets under general practice, as well as cared for pets and families experiencing hospice. As a professional Dog Trainer, I have trained many successful service dogs for disabled handlers, taught owners important handling and relationship skills, and helped them achieve not only titles in sports, but also helped modify problem behaviors to help keep pets in their homes.

Zakary was amazing! I can tell they care deeply for animals. The daily pictures and updates were very appreciated. I’m not sure if Yoda wanted to leave when I came to pick her up 😂 she had a blast! Thanks so much!

Zakary was a wonderful dog sitter. They communicated before my stay as well as during my stay. They took amazing photos of my dogs. They have a wonderful yard in the front of the house with obstacles for your dogs in a very safe gated area. I would absolutely use them again during my next trip in Gainesville. Oh, and they gave my dogs, home-cooked chicken and rice with my permission.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
