Zico (and his wife) are wonderful people who clearly love dogs. Zico took great care of our dog Poppy. Poppy is nervous around other dogs and Zico made sure the walks were more quiet, ideal for Poppy. Zico also shared photos and regular updates. Highly recommend!

Zico and Shwe were absolutely incredible with Jack and Bentley. They went above and beyond to make both boys feel completely comfortable and cared for. From the updates to the extra attention, it was clear they treated them like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters — truly outstanding care.

Zico did a wonderful job caring for my two Labs, Argo and Albus! He was attentive, engaged, and clearly passionate about giving them the best care. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such loving and responsible hands. Highly recommend!

i’ve never met a man more in love with dogs or a natural with them. zico is truly a dog whisperer of all kinds. he will spot a furry friend miles away, and points out every single one we walk past on our walks around greenlake, seward park, or on the burke gilman trail. his sister is also dog obsessed and works at an animal shelter, so it must be a genetic thing. zico’s helped take care of all my furry friends while i’ve been at work, as well as many of our friends when they’ve been out of town.
