Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my entire life, ranging from small to very large breeds. My father is a veterinarian, and I have been looking after dogs for friends and family as well as some of my fathers clients dogs, for close to 10 years now. I am currently in college, but I have a very open schedule during the week. During this time I will be able to walk your dog multiple times a day (morning, evening, and night). I have also looked after people's pets for multiple days/nights at a time. I enjoy hiking and scenic walks, and I currently live about two blocks away form the walkway over the Hudson. I am available days and weekends for the next couple of months while I am at school. I will take extremely good care of your dog and ensure he/she will be as happy as possible, and as safe as possible as well. I am willing to help accommodate to your dogs needs, and I look forward to meeting your dog!

Matt was amazing! We were so glad that I was able to find him on such short notice when going out of town. He is great with pets, was very friendly, fairly priced, responsible and responsive. He was willing to accommodate to any changes if needed and he paid great attention to my dog. He was extremely trustworthy and the fact that his dad is a veterinarian reassured me that my dog was in great hands. I would highly recommend using Matt for your dog sitting needs.

I have referred Matt to many of my clients for pet sitting services. I know that Matt is reliable and responsible. Luckily he has me, a veterinarian as his father, and he can always check in with me if there is a concern.

I have been using Matt's services for over a year now to watch my dog when we are out of town. Our dog loves him! We never worry about our dog when we are away because she is being cared for by Matt. He is kind and gentle and you can tell Matt genuinely loves dogs. My dog can be quite apprehensive with people outside of our immediate family and Matt took the time, before he actually took care of Kyra, to come over to get to know her! We trust Matt wholeheartedly with Kyra. He leaves us note on her daily activities, which is wonderful. Kyra is our baby and cannot say enough about the care and love Matt gives her when we are not there!
