A Pawfect Pet Experience

Pet care experience

Aside from having four-legged family members since I was a child and caring for the pets of friends and extended family, I’ve volunteered at humane societies in the suburbs and the city, working specifically with dogs as they adjusted to their new environment at shelters and prepared to find their forever homes. I’ve received advanced training on puppies, senior pets, and behavioral issues through these volunteer opportunities. Further, I previously worked for a small dog walking business in the suburbs, growing my experience in providing quality service for the community by keeping pets and their people happy. I’m excited to learn all about your four-legged family member(s) and how I can get tails wagging! I work from home and have flexibility throughout the week/end. It would be great to figure out a care schedule with you so I can plan ahead. I adhere to instructions and ensure your pet is cared for with attention and exercise. I recognize the anxiety many pets will go through now that their people are returning to the workplace or going on extended trips; my goal is to build trust with you and your pet so we can ease this anxiety till you return home.

Matt is the best. He has been taking care of my dog for several years. He is very reliable. One time, when he was housesitting, my dog was attacked by a dog that was off leash. Matt handled the situation so well. He was able to get away from the other dog and took my dog to the vet. Highly recommend.

Matt has stayed with my dog several times. My dog is high energy and requires a lot of ball and play time. Matt rose to the occassion, spending hours outside even in the bitter cold! He gave my guy all the love and attention that I could hope for while I was gone. He is neat, tidy and considerate! I will definitely be using Matt in the future to help with my dog!

Georgie had so much fun with Matt!!! I loved seeing all the photos and she was so happy and tired when she got home. Matt was also super flexible when timing changed a bit. Will 100% be reaching out to Matt again!!

A typical day

I am new to the Hyde Park area so I’m looking forward to exploring all the best places for pooches in the community; on rainy days, I like to figure out which indoor games we can play to expend energy.
