Zack's Pack : Wags & Walks - Longwood, FL

Rates start as low as $12. 10+ years pet experience. Reviews & pics: https://www.rover.com/sit/zachaa42930 I've always loved dogs & cats. When I learned from my sister that it was actually easy (with Rover) to do dog walking & pet sitting as a job, it seemed too good to be true. So often, people complain about hating their jobs, and eventually growing to dislike their lives in general, because of

it. So if I can do something I love, while making a living and helping people and their pets, it seems a no-brainer, to me. I have two dogs of my own and and have walked them every day for about 10 years now. Sky, my husky, is a bit older (about 13) and was morbidly obese about a year or so ago due to another family member overfeeding her for years (they're family dogs). But, after I took over her feeding & started upping her walking, her health and energy have vastly improved. Here's a video of her playing with our black lab, Rue (a year ago, she had trouble just standing up). https://youtu.be/OoWdZLZey8w

I also helped raise a kitten once, years ago. If you're new to Rover, use the below code to get $20 off your first booking with me. Promo Code: ZACHAA42930

I have a part-time job where I choose my own schedule, so I'm very flexible. I'm open to help pretty much any day of the week, and from any time between 11am to 10pm. I'm also willing to do short or long walks. Slow or fast pace (for exercise). I'm even willing to walk up to 2-3 hours, if desired. Be aware though, that I charge a fee for time/gas if you're more than 2 miles from me. The amount depends on how far you are. I'm located near Dunhill Dr, Longwood, FL 32750

When meeting new dogs, I tend to let them smell my hand first, while addressing them by name and speaking in a high pitched voice. Then petting / scratching, when it seems like they're cool with me. Most dogs I've met seem to take a liking to me fairly quickly. In regards to walking specifically, I tend to let them smell around as much as they want, so they get the most enjoyment out of it. And when other dogs come around, I tend to tighten up on the leash a bit and maintain distance, just in case. Dogs are often unpredictable when encountering other dogs, and I don't want either side to get hurt. I also carry an airhorn during walks, just in case another dog comes charging at us.
