About: Hello there my name is Zeke, and I have been caring for dogs my entire life! I love dogs, and any opportunity I have to spend time with them brings me so much fulfillment! I have experience with dogs of all types of backgrounds. Size, behavior, medical conditions, etc, it does not matter to me. I believe each and every pet deserves a chance to get the most out of their life, and ultimately hope my small appearance in your pet's life will leave a positive and meaningful impact!

I pride myself of adapting to any situation and thinking outside the box the ensure that it’s both safe and fun!

I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality, so I always follow your instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime preferences, or special needs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Personally, I have an off-the-track racehorse, a boxer, and an English bulldog. Misunderstood animals and bully breeds have a special place in my heart. I currently work evenings, so I have flexibility during the days for any walk or drop-in needs. Recurring visits are welcomed, as I know how important an established routine is for our furry friends. I would leave my dogs home when assisting with walks or drop-in visits to accommodate any special needs or personality quirks. I’m very comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I have experience with animal first aid, as well as medication administration for critters of all sizes. Please don’t hesitate with any questions!

“Matt is truly the best! I recently hired Matt to care for my 2 dogs (Golden Doodle and Duck Tolling Retriever) and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, professional, and most importantly, my pets were in great hands. I love the fact that I never had to worry while on vacation. Matt walked the dogs daily and spent adequate time with them each day. I came home to some happy dogs! It's clear that he truly cares about animals and I highly recommend him.”
