28 but feel like a puppy

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs since I was 13. I have a 3 year old white Labrador retriever that loves all dogs and will help tire out and stimulate your pup at daycare/boarding. I am a young energetic male that runs daily and can bring your dog if they enjoy running. I am retired Army Nurse of 6 years and currently in grad school for nurse Anesthesia. School keeps me in the books most of the day, but always need breaks every 1-2 hours which I play with my dog and would be individual play time for your pup. I have a nice sized fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I play fetch, can help teach tricks, walk endlessly, and can spoil you dogs if need be. Can do all the same in your home for drop ins or walks. Offer to wash your dog for fresh clean pickup

Matt is the best dog walker I've had. Not only did he walk my dog, he identified that my dog had a tick behind his ear and was able to remove it prior to the tick attaching to my dog. He's diligent with his work, not just with the dog, but with the owner as well. On numerous occasions he stepped up to the plate to watch my dog when I was in called into work at the last minute. Matt is a great dog sitter and I highly recommend him to other dog owners. Thank you Matt for all of your help from myself and my dog Corey!

Matt is absolutely awesome with our sometimes testy cocker spaniel. He has a way with dogs that none of our other pet sitters have had! We have ended up having Matt dogsit and housesit at our place in DC and our pup always seems to be sad when he leaves.

Matt is an incredible gentlemen that truly cares for the dogs he takes care of! He treats every dog like they are his own! His active lifestyle keeps the dogs active and gets them outside instead of being inside all day. It is also nice that he is available during the week while I am at work. He will get your dogs active and take great care of them!
