Pet care experience

Dog lover that has great awareness!

Although I do NOT have any dogs of my own, I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. Used to watch my neighbors dogs growing up and also my siblings dogs. I am smart, respectful, and I go above and beyond. I’ll be sure to keep your animal safe and make sure they feel comfortable! I can also watch cats as I have experience with that as well.

Matt was fantastic with my 3-year-old German Shepherd! He gave her plenty of walks and attention and kept up with our feeding routines. She was very well behaved for him, so I know she was happy to be there. It was great to not have to worry about her during my trip!

Shout out to Matt for helping take care of our two dogs last minute. When we picked them up they seemed very happy and comfortable in his home. Would recommend.

Matthew is kind and friendly with pet. My boy seemed accepting his new friend pretty quickly. Thanks for watching Chewie!

I trust Matt with my large, working breed dogs! Matt has helped watch both of my foster Dobermans, and has been helping me with my 1-year-old, female German Shepherd since she was 3 months old. He has been patient, kind, and caring with all 3 girls and he sends the best photo/video updates! I highly recommend Matt.

Matt has been amazing with my dachshund, Millie Milkshake. Millie can be stubborn and decide to go on potty and or walk strikes. Matt has so much patience and goes above and beyond to make Millie feel comfortable. He even let Millie sleep in his own bed (with my permission of course)! We have also had Matt stay at our house to watch Millie. He’s clean, responsible, trustworthy, and absolutely adores dogs. I would highly recommend Matt.. so grateful we found him!

Safety, trust & environment

I am in an apartment but I have a spacious balcony where the animals can roam, or they can be inside if they want. There is also a dog park in my complex and a trail nearby that I can use for walks. In your home, I’ll always follow your notes and make sure nothing is out of the ordinary for your pet when I watch them!

A typical day

We will go on walks, play with toys, go on trails, hang out on my balcony, and go to the dog park if permitted by the owner.
