Another heartwarming post for us to make! 💗

Georgia (right), a 6-year-old Airedale Terrier has been boarding with us since the end of July through ATRA - Airedale Terrier Rescue & Adoption, while she searches for a new home. Her previously owner regularly boarded her with us so it was only right to keep her with familiar faces and scenery, until the perfect family came along for her!🐾

Check it out ➡️ she found that family! 😍

Congratulations on your forever home, Georgia! We are so happy for you and wish you a lifetime of happiness with mom and dad and Airedale sister— Amanda, Mark and Arwen! 🥳

Happy Tails to you, Georgia! 🐶

‼️ Updates/Reminders from the ZPS Grooming Salon! ‼️

🛁 At this time, we will no longer be accepting new clients for grooming appointments. You may still add a bath, nail trim or spa day (haircut not included) on when you board your pups, or they come to doggy daycare.

✂️ Our four very talented and hardworking groomers are booked out several weeks. If you are a regular client, please make certain you are rescheduling at your appointment. We highly recommend that everyone books an entire year of grooming appointments, if at all possible. We have had several that have done this and LOVE it! 🤩

🚨 If you are a current client and are calling in to book an appointment with one of our groomers, expect longer wait times to get in.

🧼 If you are more than 15 minutes late to your scheduled grooming appointment, you will be charged a $10 ‘late fee’. Our groomers work on very tight schedules and being timely is crucial for their schedules.

🫧 If you pick up 2 hours or more after reception calls you that your pet is ready, you will also be charged a $10 ‘day stay’ fee.

🐾 If your pet’s coat condition is in rough shape, please expect the cost to be higher due to the time allowed to groom your pet, and/or the amount of product needing to be used on your pet.

⏰ Cancelations less than 24 hours from the day of groom will be charged 50% of the groom price. Our groomers are paid by commission and this allows us to be able to fill that gap in their schedule.

Thank you for your understanding! We appreciate your loyal customers and are so thankful to serve the Roanoke and surrounding areas! Thank you so much for making us succeed! 🙏🏼 😊

We would like to wish Sarah a very “Happy Birthday” today! 🥳🎂

Sarah is our dog trainer at ZPS, and has been a great addition to our team! Sarah has hosted adult and puppy classes, given many private lessons and has helped so many clients with their pups! In addition to helping us build our training program at ZPS, she has also helped our doggy daycare program become a better place as well by aiding us in training our dogs to behave and socialize better!

Sarah says “I love working at ZPS because I get to meet so many different dogs and their families. It’s rewarding to take on a client and see them and their dog ‘get it’ after trying so hard to learn something new. It’s rewarding to make a positive impact in how someone lives with their pup. I also enjoy all of my friendly coworkers! Outside of ZPS, I like to spend time with my family and dogs. We enjoy hiking, swimming in our pool, and going to dog events. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn herding with my border collies!”
Sarah also enjoys hitting up Starbucks for a delicious iced caramel macchiato!



Sarah shares her home with her husband, Matt, her two children, five dogs and two cats! 🐾

Please join us in wishing Sarah a very Happy Birthday! 🎉

“Reunited and it feels SO GOOD!” 🎶 🥰

For over two months (65 days to be exact,) Charlie has been boarding with us while his 96-year-old mom has been ill, in and out of the hospital and rehab home. She has made it home and is doing so much better, and today, Charlie was able to go home and be with his mom this morning! We will sure miss him, but seeing that little 13-year-old guy jump over three feet high into his mom’s lap on the car, made us so happy!

Just look at the bond that these two have! 🥺🫶🏼

We wish you the absolute best in your health and life, Donna and Charlie! 🐾 🤍

Over the past six years, we have had the pleasure of spending our doggy daycare days with a very very sweet, caring pretty, vocal and hairy husky/hound/shepherd mix, named Calli. 🥰 🐾

Calli came to daycare 2-3 days per week year-round and anyone who came to ZPS knew she was here by her greeting of barks! She wasn’t your typical high-strung, energetic and active daycare pup. In the afternoons she was often curled up asleep in the corner of the yard or lying near the tunnel making sure only her favorites entered. 😉

Over the last year, Calli has been suffering from seizures and in the last couple of months, they progressed. On top of that, she developed severe congestive heart failure and unfortunately in the last week or so, it has caused her pain and discomfort. Her mom selflessly made the decision to let her cross over the rainbow bridge on Monday. She spent the morning at ZPS— spending time with her “gang” in the play yard, lying in a luxury suite (her favorite lunch spot) and cuddling with the staff and getting lots of love and kisses. Losing one of our clients is such a hard loss for all of our staff, and it seems even harder when they have been with us every week for years. 🫶🏼❤️

Fly High, Calli! You were part of our family at ZPS and will forever hold a spot in our heart. We will think of you daily and don’t worry, we will take good care of your momma. We told her she has to visit us often! 🪽🌈

We hosted our second annual “Parking Lot Party” for our amazing and hardworking staff and their families last evening! 🎲 ⛳️ 🤩

Salsa Grille food truck serving their delicious Mexican food, Whip & Chill food truck serving their amazing ice cream, floats and shaved ice, team building and yard games, and more. We also gave out funny superlative awards to our staff, introduced new members of our team, said our “goodbyes” to those heading to college this fall, and handed out gifts for those celebrating 1 year with ZPS. We also showered one of our kennel managers for their upcoming parenthood! We are so beyond excited for Johanna and her husband Logan who will be adding their first “two-legged” child to their home in November. A baby boy! 💙🥳

We had the best night together and missed those who were not able to attend. A big thank you to Jenna for working so hard planning this evening for our employees and their families to enjoy! These amazing people love your dogs dearly! 🫶🏼

We are blessed with such a wonderful and fun team. They deserve this evening and so much more! We are going to miss those that are leaving soon. We love each and every one of you! 🥹❤️ — Zach & Jenna

On Monday morning, five Huntington North High School students and members of the National Honor Society came out to do community service hours at ZPS. They cleaned kennels and floors, let dogs out to potty and played with and helped monitor our doggy daycare dogs! 😊🐾

Thank you to Georgia, Abby, Cady, Hailey and Madison for your help. It was so nice to have you here for the morning, and congratulations on your continued educational success! 🏆💡📝

We truly have the best clients who have become family! 🫶🏼

We absolutely love the beautiful and professional architecture of our facility, but we have kept thinking that the front of our building needed a little “something!” Well two years and two months after opening our new facility, we finally did it! 🐾

Thank you Kraig with Signs Etc for bringing our vision to life once again! Your work truly does not go unnoticed! 👏🏼

We would like to wish Hunter a “Happy Birthday” today! 🥳🎂

Hunter is a seasonal kennel and doggy daycare attendant here at ZPS and has been with us since August of 2022! Hunter has a very fabulous and outgoing personality and ALWAYS has a smile on his face. He has an extremely hard work ethic, and is always using his time wisely while making his coworkers laugh! 😊

Hunter says:

“There are so many great things about working at Zach’s Pet Services it is hard to just choose one. Each person, customer and co-worker, are so amazing! Every dog that we get to take care of has its own unique personality that can always put a smile on my face! I am so grateful I have the opportunity to work at such an amazing place and be trusted to take care of each furry friend!

When not playing fetch with the dogs, I LOVE to play pickleball, hammock, and be outdoors! I am a current student at Kansas State University studying pre-veterinary medicine in hopes of being a mixed animal veterinarian, and possibly even ZPS’ first veterinarian”!

We always look forward to having Hunter back for school breaks and the summer and wish him the best in all he does! Thank you for all you do at ZPS! 🐾 💪🏼

Hunter also got to celebrate his birthday with a birthday today— one of our doggy daycare dogs, Piper the Jack Russell, turned 8 today! 🐶🫶🏼
