Pet care experience

Animal Lover & FT Animal Caretaker

I am a full time animal caretaker, I only currently offer sitting regularly (although I do sometimes accept walk requests!) I typically offer 24/7 service when sitting so your pets will not be alone. :) I have had pets my entire life, from dogs to cats, snakes, fish, ferrets. I adore animals and will treat any pet in my care as if they were family and take great care of them. I have a Catahoula back where I am from in NC (his name is Clark) with my two grandmas, who provides them the most love possible. It would be a delight to take care of a part of your family. I am a full time pet caretaker, your pets will be the primary focus of my time and my schedule works around my bookings always. I thoroughly follow the instructions of the home/pet owner. Both your home and pets will be in safe, dependable hands in your absence. They will have plenty of food, water, potty breaks & love.

Zakkery is a wonderful dog sitter. I've used him a few times and he always shows up on time, communication is great, and he leaves the house clean. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Zakk was amazing! They took such great care of our dog and kept us in the loop with the cutest updates and photos. It was such a relief knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of while we were away. Plus, we came home to a super tidy house — huge bonus! We’d absolutely have Zakk watch our dog again 😊

I've used Zakkery a few times and he's always great. Daily photo updates were received, and the house is always clean when I get home. Highly recommend!

Zakkery was absolutely fantastic! They demonstrated exceptional professionalism, ensuring our home was well-maintained and our dog received the best care. The house was spotless upon our return, and our dog was clearly happy and well-cared for. Their attention to detail and caring nature made us feel at ease while we were away. We highly recommend Zakkery and would definitely book them again!”

Zakkery was great with my young dog. He provided good communication and followed all the instructions provided. Also left the house very clean. I would definitely use him again!

I have an elderly yorkie poo rescue pup. I do not trust her with many people because she suffered abuse when she was younger. She also requires more patience in her older age as she has accidents again, is losing her hearing and vision, and has many oral medications to take throughout the day. She also does not like everyone, but seemed at ease with Zakkery right away. This is my second time using Zakkery and he has done an amazing job both times. He stays overnight with her and provides frequent updates and photos. He is patient and caring with her. In addition to that, I do not ask/expect him to do things like take out the trash or do the dishes, but he does them anyways. I will happily use him again and am really grateful for his help!

It is important to know if your pet has any aggressive tendencies towards either people or other animals. If they have separation anxiety. If they require any medications throughout the day. What a typical day is like for y'all and where they like to sleep.
