Pet care experience
My experience with pet care regarding dogs comes mostly from my own personal dogs, but I have had some work with dog breeders needing assistance taking care of their pups and administering medicine and of course giving them lots of love! I am a pharmacy tech as have been over four years now and I do have a great knowledge and understanding of the importance of pharmaceutical drugs and how they should be administered. With having that background knowledge I do also know how important and even critical it is to provide timely care and attend to a strict schedule especially with dogs that have maintenance meds or time critical meds. I’m currently a full time hospital employee, however I am available everyday after 3pm and on weekends. I’m definitely open to any inquiries and am happy to do whatever I can to be flexible and available. Currently my husband and I own a house with a large fenced in backyard. The siding of the fence that runs along the road has privacy fencing and the other sides run adjacent to our neighbors with chain link fencing. We are on a corner in a quiet neighborhood. My husband and I work different days so we have almost full availability to help in any way we can! I have three dogs who are loving and are always excited to interact with other dogs. They range from six months to almost three years old so they are still pretty young and energetic. They also love to just nap and cuddle so we will always welcome the extra cuddly loving pups! If your dog(s) have special dietary needs we are happy to accommodate! I also love to go on runs so if you’ve got a pup that loves to go for long runs we can make that happen. In our neighborhood several neighbors have dogs and the environment is very dog friendly, it is also a low traffic area nestled very quietly in a section of subdivisions with plenty of places to go on walks or run a few hills. If you normally keep your dogs away from other dogs we can also accommodate those needs as well with no problem whatsoever. All of our dogs are up to date on their vaccinations and have never had any critical health problems or inabilities. We also have hardwood floors throughout our entire house which should alleviate any concern of cleanliness and not to mention fleas.
Reviews
Zakia and Brandon both have great love and compassion for animals, but most especially dogs. They have 3 of their own, and treat them like their own children. I would let them watch our small dog at any time they are available.
Zakia loves animals, especially dogs. She cares for her own three as if they were her children. With that kind of care, love and dedication, Zakia will love caring for your pets as well.
I am Zakia’s husband. I’ve helped her care for multiple dogs on multiple occasions. She loves dogs more then she loves me. She enjoys playing with our dogs often, as well as other dogs we come across. She’s particular with their food, making sure not to over feed them. Our dogs get so much attention and love, and when we have other dogs over, they receive just as much love. She uses a belt leash to jog with our dogs. Anything that you can do with a dog, she loves it and would do it all the time if she could.
There are many reasons why Zakia would be a loving dog caregiver, she absolutely loves animals, and animals love her. My two dogs are always so excited to see her because she is great with them, she takes pictures with them, gives them treats while also making sure they follow the rules, as well as going on walks/runs with them. Zakia loves to run and is always looking to go on runs with dogs. She currently has 3 dogs of her own, one a larger breed, one a medium breed, and one smaller breed and she loves them all! Not only does Zakia love dogs, she loves any pet in general. I have a pet turtle and Zakia took such good care of him while I went on 2 week trip and whenever I need another pet sitter, I will for sure be taking my pets to Zakia!

Information Zakia & Brandon M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any and all specifics about the dog so that I can provide the best care possible. This may include medication schedules, schedules for bathroom breaks if needed per stricter obedience preferences or training means, how he/she/both interact with other dogs including dogs with higher energy, disabilities if available, dietary needs or restrictions, current vaccination records or crucial health information, special needs, and of course any pertinent information that the owner feels is necessary. I have no breed restrictions or limitations all dogs are welcome here!
A typical day
There is lots of activities to enjoy during a stay with us! Ranging from walking at the park, playing outside, interacting with other dogs, for dogs who need to use up some extra energy moderate to long runs, frisbee, and of course some naps and cuddles at the end of a super fun day!
