Your best friend needs a new buddy!

Pet care experience

I will give your pooch all of the attention in the world! Nothing makes my day like seeing the face of an excited fluff getting some love and affection! Walks, playtime, cool down, and trust exercises abound will be part of your doggo or puppers daily routine. I grew up in a house with 3 dogs my whole life and I've been dog sitting and checking in on family and friends dogs for years, and have worked for and volunteered with numerous kennels and rescues to ensure you that I know proper training and handling with another family's pets. Bonus: My sister is a veterinarian assistant, so any potential medical needs are only a phone call way to a trusted professional! Doggo Love and peace!

Matt is a responsible indiviual that loves helping animals in whatever way he can. Matt loves all animals and would be great at being a dog sitter or for that matter even a foster parent for an animal that needs some TLC. I would highly recommed Matt.

Whenever I travel, Matt cares for my two cats and parrot and does a great job. Even my grumpy, antisocial cat lets Matt hold him now! He's helped care for a mastiff I was fostering as well as my sister's shih tzu so I feel comfortable recommending him for dogs of all sizes/

I’ve known Matt for 2 years and I know he’s got some serious love for dogs and would fit perfectly as a dog sitter! He’s super dependable, kind and caring and would do a wonderful job taking care of furry friends of all shapes and sizes.

Information Matt D. would like to know about your pet

Barking and squeaking habits are important to know of beforehand, as to give neighbors a proper warning of any extra noise that may be coming from a dog being taken care of.

A typical day

There is a dog park less than a mile from my house, where your dog will be able to freely run around in a contained area if you allow it. Various forms of catch, rope games, and racing games will be played. But mostly the interest of your dog will choose what gets done. Does he feel like just strolling side by side? OK! Does your dog have the energy of a thousand burning suns in him that needs to be unleashed? Then we'll run circles for an hour! Feeling lazy? A good belly rub on the couch will do the job!
