My pup is a rescue dog! I had to work extra hard for her not to be afraid the minute she met Zane she was so happy plus we had seen them walking and she just wanted to go with Zane and Lisa! I am so blessed my pup has a great tine, has a few boyfriends lol and is so taken care of by Zane and Lisa. By the way thank you Lisa for stopping to tell me how to reach you all that day! And everyone at work are so amazed and we can’t wait to see the photos!

Zane took our crazy Covid puppy (not well socialized due to the pandemic) and has worked with him on leash aggression, alpha behavior, safety concerns for our family and even a feeding schedule. Zane is definitely the alpha in the pack and all the dogs respect and obey him. We are so excited to be working with Zane and have hope for our crazy puppy that he will grow into a well socialized dog. The hikes are amazing and it is so helpful that a 5 mile hike with a pack, make our puppy a tired and happy dog when he comes home. Thank you Zane!

I am ashamed if I haven't yet written a review for Zane. Zane has been walking and working with our German Shepherd, Indy, for YEARS now (maybe going on 4 or 5?!) since our dog was a puppy -- and has been with us even through a house move. Zane is a dog whisperer and is so wonderful with Indy and his entire pack. We trust him completely and he is, in fact, the only person Indy is submissive with. Indy is so happy to hear Zane come for pick up and is pooped after a long day out. From day one, Indy responded so positively with Zane and we were floored. He sends us adorable photos of all the hikes they go on. He also comes to the house for pick up and drop off which is super convenient. We've used him many times to even board Indy at his house when we used to go on trips. We can't recommend Zane and Lisa enough. If you're in the East Bay Area and are lucky enough to be a part of his pack -- you truly are gaining new family members!

Zane is a gifted dog care professional. He is so much more than a dog walker or sitter. He intuitively understands the needs of the dogs under his watchful eye. He loves his work and it shows in the affection he showers on the pups in his pack. My dog was a skittish and shy German shepherd rescue when she started walking with Zane. Thanks to his calm and caring methods, she is now a calm and strong dog who has benefitted greatly from Zane's support. I would highly endorse Zane's for his great work. Each dog is special to him and he takes the time to understand your dog's needs. If you are lucky enough to decide to enlist his services, you and your dog will be greatly rewarded.

Zane has been the greatest dog walker, trainer and boarder for our dog, Rita for nearly 3 years. I love the convenience of having Zane pick her up and bring her home so I don't miss a minute of work and she comes home nice and tired from a great hike. Rita has learned so much from riding in the car and hiking with the pack which has made her a happier dog and a much more enjoyable part of our family. You know what they say, "A tired dog is a well behaved dog"! We are so thankful to have his service and would highly recommend using Z Animal Lover for dog boarding in his home, dog walking, pet sitting, and hiking adventures!

Zane was recommended to me by my friend and co-worker about 4 years ago. I was so pleased I made the call! He met my Labrador retriever puppy prior to her joining the walking pack to get a feel for who she is, her demeanor and how she interacted with other dogs. I appreciated that effort and caution he used instead of blindly introducing her to the pack. Zane has always been responsive, courteous, punctual and professional. He is a genuinely nice and happy man! I can tell he truly cares about our dog and she is always thrilled to see him. He takes the pack out for the better part of the day on walks and hikes in the area and really exercises them. I have never experienced a problem arising from their activity or interaction and I trust Zane like a family member. He has also "boarded" her a handful of times when we have gone out of town, and I know she is in very kind, competent hands. It amazes me how the pack listens and responds to him during his outings and picture lineups. Zane always sends updates and pictures when he walks or boards her, which is a really nice touch to the excellent service he already provides. I would hire Zane ten times over!

I’ve been using Lisa and Zane’s INCREDIBLE services for over two years now and I can honestly say it’s the best gift you can give your pup! They treat my fur baby Madison like a member of their family and are two of the kindest people alive. Anytime I have been in a pinch for work or travel they welcome her in! Between the photos of her that I can cherish forever, training, socialization with all sizes of doggies, and getting a tired pup back at the end of the day it’s a total win! It’s a 15 out of 10 from me!

Zane has been walking Rex since he was 9 months! It has been the best thing for him and has helped him calm down and also be better at socializing with other dogs and humans. I’m thankful that I have Zane to take Rex out especially when I work! Would highly recommend Zane to anyone! He’s the dog whisperer! (But really how do you get all those dogs to sit at once?)

Zane is a trustworthy, enthusiastic, kind guy. He is a natural with dogs. When he takes care of our white lab he takes her for long walks with other dogs and always sends us a picture to let us know how everything's going.
