Walks Every Day, and A Friend

Pet care experience

My name is Matt, I'm a teacher in Denver, I'm looking for some opportunities to make a little extra money and get my dog Lulu some new friends at the same time. I make sure to take the dogs I care for on a walk everyday and to the dog park each day on the weekends. I took care of my old dog Harley since she was 12 weeks old. In January of 2019 she lost her battle with cancer. She was my first dog and putting her down was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. In May of 2020 I was introduced to Lulu. Lulu is a beautiful blue nose pit bull. She is the most loving dog I've ever had, she is like many other pit bulls in that she is more, she is more playful, more energetic, and more loving. I live in a small house with a huge yard. I am a firm believer in daily walks, during the summer and during my breaks I try my best to do 2 a day. During the weekends Lulu and I go to the dog park Saturday and Sunday. I am also a very new father, and before my daughter was born Lulu was the most important thing in the world to me, now its my daughter. Because of her I've become more selective about the pups I sit and watch. I've been dog and house sitting for the past 8 years. I love it, it's a great way to get Lulu to meet other pups and for me to earn a little extra income.

Matt, once again showed why I would recommend him to watch dogs at his home or your own. He took wonderful care of Ruby and provide frequent and specific updates during my time away. He also left my house in great shape and is a welcome guest while dog sitting. Matt is easy going and was available throughout the booking process and stay. I can't say enough great things about him and value him as a trusted dog-sitter. Go Matt!

Information Matt P. would like to know about your pet

I have no problem house sitting for little dogs, but I've noticed that little dogs tend to get my dog Harley on edge unless they've met and had time to get to know each other.

A typical day

Daily Walks, Lots of play in the yard, Weekend dog park adventures. combing, lots of love, and a friend that will keep your pup entertained for days.

Availability

I'm a teacher so I am out of the house until about 430, 1st thing I do when I get home is take the pups for a walk. If Lulu needs more time outside then I let her out. Walking everyday is how I really connect with Lulu but I also play with her in different ways. Her favorite game is tug but fetch and wrestling are high on her list as well.
