Pet care experience
I worked at a large doggy daycare facility from October 2014 until January 2017, except for a time from Oct. 2015-Feb. 2016, when I worked at a smaller-scale facility in Atlanta specializing in dogs with special needs (neurosis, physical/mental disabilities, aggression, etc.). I'm K9 CPR certified, and pride myself on being able to match any dog's energy level. I'm especially good at helping dogs who are overly shy or aggressive; they tend to come out of their shell around me for some reason. My own dog, a boxer/heeler mix named Babadook, is a bundle of energy, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I have no bias against any specific breed or size of dog, but I do tend to have a soft spot for large breeds (great danes, newfoundlands, mastiffs, etc.). All said, I can't really say I've ever met a dog that I didn't get along with on some level.
Reviews
I am the front desk manager at a dog day care and boarding facility, and had the pleasure of working very closely with James. James is one of the best dog caregivers I've ever come across. I worked with him for two years, and continued to be impressed with his love and patience towards the dogs. He was so sweet towards them, many would cry if they weren't in his yard. We had dogs that would literally jump for joy when seeing him every day when arriving to camp. He would help the new dogs come out of their shell if they were shy, and form incredible bonds with the dogs that regularly came to camp. Parents would even ask if Matt was there because they knew how much their dog loved him. I was consistently impressed with his knowledge of each of the dogs and the relationships he formed. He was always the first to notice if a dog's behavior was out of the ordinary, and would try to fix the situation if needed. His care and patience towards animals is something that can't be taught. I would highly recommend James to be a dog caregiver.

Information James B. would like to know about your pet
All I really need to know is a brief rundown of a dog's temperament. Things like: is it okay to bring them around other dogs (dog parks, hiking trails, etc), do they have any specific triggers for aggression, that kinda stuff.
A typical day
Walks, hikes, swimming; as long as it's okay with my client, I'll do whatever is necessary to ensure their dog has a fun (and safe) time!
