Mateo can care for
Availability
My schedule is incredibly flexible! I don't have a standard 9-to-5 job right now, so I can easily adapt to whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I'm fully available for dog walks and drop-in visits all day long--whether your dog needs an early morning walk, midday potty break or a high-energy evening run.

About Mateo S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to drop-ins and walks, safety and trust are very important to me. I'll make sure to always follow your entry instructions to a T and double check that all doors, crates, and gates are secrued before I leave. On walks, I keep a firm grip on the leash and make sure to stay fully aware of our surroundings at all times! And thanks to my experience with bigger breeds, I know how to handle and control stronger dogs safely. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and make sure to provide detailed updates and photos!
Information Mateo S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet's unique personality traits, energy levels, quirks, medical needs, and behavioral habits both on and off a leash. I wish to provide the best care possible for your pet and ensure they are taken care off and happy.
A typical day
My walks and drop-in visits are all about fun, exercise, and giving your dog the attention they deserve. When I arrive, we'll head right out for an active walk to burn off some energy. For drop-in visits, I love playing games like fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around with them in general.

Loving Care for Big & Small Pups!
Pet care experience
I have loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a little boy! For the past 10 years, friends and family have trusted me to care for, walk, and watch over their pets. Back home in the Philippines, my family has a pack of 7 dogs, including two large Dobermans and five native breeds. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable and confident handling bigger, stronger dogs. I love staying active and running around, so I am always excited to take energetic pups on fun, high-energy walks. Whether your dog is big or small, I have the strength and experience to keep them safe and happy:)

Reviews
I booked rather last minute and thrilled that Mateo was able to accommodate m and my little beasties. He was incredibly communicative and checked in regularly. I felt so good knowing the beasties were in good hands. Will definitely try to work with him again!
Mateo was incredibly professional and the communication was great and we would definitely book again
Mateo was amazing! He was incredibly responsive when I needed a last-minute dog walker and made the whole process stress-free. He was respectful of both me and my home, communicated throughout the visit, and gave my dog plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I could tell my dog was in great hands. I’d absolutely hire Mateo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.
Mateo is an excellent dog walker! He is reliable, punctual, and clearly cared about Milo. I received updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
