Dog lover & experience with animals

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life.

Matt watched our big boy and our two cats. He sent pics, updates, and did a great job cleaning up when he left. We appreciate how Matt made sure we were comfortable leaving our pets in his care. We will definitely ask Matt to again sit our pets when we're gone.

Matt did a fantastic job taking care of our three fur babies! He made sure my pup got all of his eye meds, took him for walks, and sent us pictures with updates on our fur babies. I definitely recommend and will be going to him again in the future!

I am a wildlife rehabber with my own domestic fur babies. Matt has baby sat all of my critters for years and very comfortable leaving them in his care. He has cared reptiles, amphibians, fish, bats, birds, dogs and cats that have been at my home. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone.

Matt is such a caring and responsible person. He is passionate about working with dogs and is very trustworthy. He provides each dog with the best care and is extremely reliable. I trust him with my dog and I recommend you utilize what he has to offer. You won’t be disappointed!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.

Information Matt R. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer to know if there are any specific needs, behaviors to watch for, or restrictions for your pet, so I may make their time with me as stress free and helpful for you and them. Any preferred toys, treats, or activities your dog would like is helpful for me to help them have as much fun as possible.

A typical day

I am a big outdoors fan, so walks are part of my daily routine whether around my neighborhood or going to a local state park or trail. My dogs and I often will visit Sensiba State Wildlife Area, Mountain Bay State Trail, and High Cliff State Park. Length varies from a mile or two to 7 or 8 miles, depending upon what your furry friend would be able to do.

The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally.
