About: Hi, my name is Bre. I lost my fur baby last year, her name was Dyna. She was my pride and joy. She is where I get most of my experience with dogs. I rescued her when she was two and trained her from then on. She lived an amazing 14 years and was such a lover. I love all dogs and am always excited to make new friends. I have dog sat for puppies, for full grow dogs and also cats. I am also willing to work with multiple animals as well. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with you to find a time to hang out with your precious animal! I will treat your animals as if they were my own. Hope to meet you and your furry friend soon. Thank you very much I currently work full-time as a special education teacher and am getting my masters in Autism. I would most likely be available in the evenings/weekends! I will treat the animals as if they were my own and respect owners rules and routines they have created for their animals. I want to make sure the animals feel safe around me and can trust me.
About: I've been loving and caring for animals since I could walk! I have experience with cats, kittens, puppies and dogs from small to large and love going for walks, adventures and playtime! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to adore your pets! I am available for boarding Sundays and Wednesday-Thursday. I am available for other services such as drop-ins and dog walking every day before 2pm. Please contact me for flexibility or for interest in availability after 8pm on weekdays! I currently do not have any pets in my home however it is pet friendly! For boarding services, I have both an unfenced yard with trails for dog walking and a fenced in dog park within my apartment complex. My home is also cat-friendly! Whether your cat wants to gaze out the window, cuddle, play, or have their own privacy, I can provide a cozy, stress free environment for your baby!
About: During the past year as freshman in college, I got certified at a humane society where I learned how to effectively walk and care for pets. I am currently on track to go to vet school in three years as I major in biology on the pre-vet track and plan to shadow veterinarians this summer. I am a conscientious student athlete on the deans list. As a college soccer player, I am driven and always ready to take on a challenge! I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I am currently player summer soccer in the evenings of Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9 as well as games on Saturdays. Otherwise I am very open throughout the week! At home we have an electric fence for our dog and no crate. However, from pet setting for someone previously who’s dog does use a crate, I am familiar with and will be able to get your pet into a crate if needed. My dog is also getting old and needs some special care such as soaking his food for his sensitive teeth or helping him jump up onto beds. I am able to adapt to any accommodations needed.

Madaline C.
“I have known Mattie for about 3 years and she has watched my 2 dogs on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend Mattie to care for anyone's pets. She is a loving, responsible and caring person. My dogs love to see Mattie. She leaves my home in perfect condition and I know they are in good hands so that I feel comfortable taking trips without my fur babies. I have an Australian Shepherd mix that can be a handful and Mattie does so good with him. I also have a King Charles Cavalier that demands attention and lots of cuddles! I am so happy that Mattie can do both for each personality. I would trust her with my babies any day!!”
