Lucky Dog Mindset for your Dog
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On • Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality • Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit • Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air • Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day.
Reviews
Zane did an amazing job watching my Goldendoodle. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I got regular updates, and my pup came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
Zane is wonderful with our aging Black Lab. He is gentle and takes the time to play with Bodie before his walk. He brings him special treats and gives him a good brushing when finished with his walk. Zane has told me that he has taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds most of his life. They seem to know that he can be trusted to care for them and are excited to see him when he visits. I recommend Zane, without hesitation, as your dog walker and care giver. He is very responsible and will give your dog all of his attention and make sure they have a fun experience.
Zane was amazing with our Golden retriever Bunker! He was responsive, reliable, and clearly has a great connection with dogs. Bunker came home happy, relaxed , and well looked after. We'll definitely be booking with Zane again! Thank You Darrin Cassidy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zane has been incredible with our Goldendoodle! So easy to work with. He’s patient, kind, and clearly experienced with energetic, smart pups. Our dog looks forward to every walk and always comes back well-exercised and happy. We love the updates and feel totally at ease knowing our pup is in such good hands. Highly recommend!
About Zane W.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.
Information Zane W. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn as much as I can ahead of time so I can give your pet the best care possible. It’s helpful to know: Their daily routine (feeding times, potty breaks, walk schedule) Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications Behavioral traits (shy, anxious, energetic, friendly with other dogs, etc.) What comforts them or triggers stress Commands they know and any training preferences How they do on walks and around new people or animals Favorite toys, treats, or activities The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and right at home!
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of playtime, fresh air, and one-on-one attention. I love starting the day with a nice walk to get some energy out, followed by breakfast and a little relaxing time. Throughout the day, I like to mix in interactive play (fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys), backyard time if it’s available, and plenty of cuddles or chill time if the pup prefers that. I keep things based on each dog’s energy and personality—some love running around, others just want belly rubs and company. In the evenings, we’ll wind down with another walk and some quiet time. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained the whole time they’re with me.

Availability
Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week.
