Matt has been around dogs/animals since he was 2. He had a small lap dog growing up and then added another small lap dog at the age of 13. He always made sure the dogs were fed, had water and loved playing with them. Then he went away to college and his friends had two large dogs he lived with for the last 3 years in college. These dogs all loved him because they would always go to him for petting, walking, and just lying around with them. His oldest dog ended up with Congestive Heart Failure and he learned how to give her the pills she needed by introducing me to pill pockets in order to place her pills in. He is a kind and loving person and makes sure the animals were always taken care of. He loved taking walks with all of his animals, he loved them lying in bed at night, with him. He loved playing with them and ensuring they knew how much he loved them. He even took care of his animals when his parents would go out of town when he was younger and never had any issues with them. He would go to the vet visits and understand what the vet was saying and asked questions about his dogs. Matt was co valedictorian of his high school graduating class and the only student picked, in his engineering department at college, to earn top scholar award. he takes pride in whatever he sets his mind to do. Matt is a loving, caring , compassionate and outstanding young man. he knows how to really get dogs to warm up to him. even when he was young, he never backed away from any dog, small or large. He played with the golden lab next door to him and even would allow the dog to do whatever the dog wanted, within reason. I would definitely recommend Matt as a dog walker or dog sitter, you will not be disappointed knowing your fur baby would be fully taken care of and loved while you enjoy your time away from your family member. He will ensure your fur baby has all the love, playing time, walking time and just chilling out. Matt is the best dog care giver ever!! You definitely will not be disappointed but have the absolute knowing your fur baby will be taken care of while you are out.
