I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog.

About: I have watched over my neighbors, friends, and my own dogs since I was in middle school. I have taken care of friendly, aggressive, energetic, low-energy, social, and anxiety-prone dogs in the past, and I believe that I can take care of your dog as well as I take care of my own. I have also taken care of puppies, not house-trained dogs, and older dogs that need to be taken out more frequently. I am a recent graduate from Fairfield University and am available to care for your pets any day of the week, but would prefer Monday-Friday.

I love animals with everything and treat every animal as if they were my own. Cats care: I will/can spend a lotted amount of time. I will stay at the house for up to 1-2 hours depending on how many visits you want. Am and/or PM. They will get plenty of play time, or alone time depending on preference. Cat litter will be scooped 1-2 times a day (depending on you, amount of cats or if needs) Dogs care: Same as above minus the litter. However they will get the lotted amount of walks depending on again you and puppers needs! They will get plenty of playtime as well. Can do some basic training if requested. Rodents: I have basic knowledge of some rodent care as I have had 2 hamster in the past. Will brush up if rodent care is needed and will follow any care instructions by you! Boarding! I apologize in advance but I only board cats. I do have cats of my own but your cat(s) will have their own room and will not have contact with mine. I have a morning to afternoon job. I can visit pet in the morning if needed. Will be able to spend much more time after work. I promise that in the morning they will be well cared for and get the proper care regardless! There will just be extra, extra loving in the afternoon. I have 4 cats at home. 2 are mine and 2 are foster. They get free roam of the house.

Matthew was fantastic with our high anxiety dog. She takes time to warm up to new people and he had plenty of patience until she was ready to go on a walk with her. Anna is afraid of everything outside and he handled it like a professional and gave her the time she needed to get over her feats.
