“I’m so grateful I found Matt with such short notice, he was so kind with his quick response I was able to meet Beatrice and get to know her before he walked her today. He sent me the best pictures, I could tell she was so happy! You can tell that he is just a dog person and just loves being around them. I will definitely use Matt in the future!”

About: Your dog will be treated like a family member. I am a caring, loving person with a dog of my own. Dogs hold a special place in my heart as they give you unconditional love. I work from home full-time so I can easily walk the dog as often as needed and can take care and play with them during the day. I have a big fenced back yard for your dog to walk around. I also have a small 10 lb Shorkie to keep your fur baby company.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter when I was 13 because I couldn’t get enough time with animals. Fast forward to today and I enjoy doing it in my free time! I am an athlete with USRowing who trains in the mornings and afternoons and have free time for drop ins in the middle of the day and around my practice schedule! I am willing to stop by as much as needed or stay over with your pet, whatever you’re comfortable with. I am able to be around most of the day on weekends, I fill follow whatever routine you and your pet is most comfortable with.

About: I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all kinds and sizes. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, cuddling them, and bathing them if needed! I'm currently work from home Mondays and Fridays so I can be super flexible those two days. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work in the office so morning and evening hours are preferred but some weeks throughout the summer I can also be flexible as my schedule is a lot lighter. Weekends are also flexible! I'm open to caring for your dog however you would like me to care for them in the environment that they are most comfortable! I enjoy getting exercise so I would be more than happy to walk your dog or play in the yard if you have a fenced in yard.


About: I had a dog my whole life until he recently passed away. I would routinely take him for walks and feed him among other things. I also have dog sat for friends in the past. I am comfortable with all dogs of all sizes. I am free almost every weekday. Weekends are also available but there will be times when I am not free. Typically afternoons work best for me but mornings can also work. I will treat every pet with the utmost care. I will be sure to meet their needs and do whatever the owner asks me to do. I will go above and beyond the duties of my job and create a great environment for the pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs as well as friends dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve dealt with reactive/skiddish dogs and have won them all over. I work from home. Any help needed anytime I can certainly find time for as long as I’m not training my own dogs. Reach out! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to sniff and roam. At clients homes, I can walk/mentally tire out their dogs and have them fed for when their owners come home.
