Zoologist to Care for Pets

Pet care experience

I grew up with dalmatians and labs. My passion is animals, so I volunteered at a zoo and received BS in Zoology (currently working towards master's in education at BHSU). Other pets I own/ have cared for include: cats, rabbits, ferrets, mice, birds, lizards, turtles, snakes, amphibians, tarantulas, millipedes, fish. I am currently a student teacher so I am available in the evenings, weekends, and on select weekdays (will update my schedule once the school semester starts). I have been a petsitter for many people (including my wife's mini menagerie before I married her) that have gone on vacation. I have experience with giving medication orally. I love playtime with any pet and I would love to spoil any pet, so let me know how!

Excellent job with our many dogs! He kept in contact with us while we were away,which I appreciated.

I've had Matt watch my cat twice in the last year, and never had an issues. He's always fed her in a timely manner, followed all my instructions perfectly, and I think my cat likes when he's there.

Matt is an excellent pet sitter! He has taken care of my pets over the years (and I have a lot of them) and I know they have been in good hands when I go on vacation. I have many exotics and he is quick to learn how to care for them. My animals have always been excited to see him, and that's really what matters. If my animals are comfortable with his care, then I am too! He is super knowledgeable about all animals. Highly recommend!
