Be Patient-Be Consistent-Have Fun.

Pet care experience

It's a given that I love dogs, or else I wouldn't be here. I grew up with a mini schnauzer and he was a ball of energy. The past year I've trained a mini long haired dachshund puppy to be bell trained (we know how stubborn they can be with house training) as well as tricks such as "Stand", "Roll Over" and "Place". I also take care of my roommate's 4 year old bulldog when they are busy. Needless to say I love high energy dogs because I have all the energy in the world, but I also love to hangout with calmer dogs too that would rather watch tv, like bull dogs. I am a fan of all breeds, shapes, and sizes. Puppies are a plus!

I recently had to do some work travel and found out that my regular sitter wouldn’t be available. With barely a week’s notice prior to my trip, I contacted Matt and he generously agreed to sit for Duncan, my 13-year old miniature pinscher. Matt did a meet and greet with us a few days later and Duncan absolutely loved him. I felt at ease leaving my pup in Matt’s care! During my trip, Matt did three house visits a day—he was timely, provided extremely thorough updates at each visit with photos, and everything went so smoothly. He even went so far as to hand wash all of Duncan’s food bowls for me! I have to also mention that Duncan has a serious medical condition for which he takes several medications at least twice a day—that can be a lot for a pet sitter to take on. Not for Matt— he got Duncan to take all of his pills and there were absolutely no medical issues while I was away. I will 100% be using Matt’s fantastic sitting services in the future and I HIGHLY recommend him to sit for your fur babies!!

Matt really helped us out with our dog Winston. We had to book a few walks on short notice- he was super accommodating and even came to meet Winston before hand. I particularly liked that he was very good about understanding Winston’s specific needs (dietary and lifestyle/play style). I think he does a great job and will definitely utilize his services in the future! Thanks again, Matt.

Information Matt G. would like to know about your pet

Before meeting them I would like to know their temperament, how they are with strangers, and of course if they are house trained. Also I would like to know the rules of the house for the dog so that I can be consistent with the rules the owner has placed. I don't discriminate against breeds, but If I had a choice, it would be a terrier type dog or one that simply loves to have fun and loves company.

A typical day

Depending on the age and breed, I would take long active walks, train them if they need it, be there for games with their toys and of course hangout and just spend time when they need companionship.
