Dog lover

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life. In highschool I would help out friends when they would go out of town and stay at their house to take care of their pets. I have years of experience walking dogs, particular larger breeds.

Wow, I never thought I would be able to find someone to love my dog as much as I do while I’m away. Matt spoiled and cared for my dog as if she was his own. Even took her on a few field trips, which is her favorite thing to do. Thank you Matt!!

Matt did a great job, was very attentive to my dogs and gave them his full attention and communicated what he was doing every step of the way, was very happy with the service he provided.

Matt was great with my dogs! I have a 5 year old spaniel and a 5 month old terrier puppy. I have only had the terrier puppy for 3 weeks, and he is very attached to me and gets upset when he is not with me. We drove 20 hours from upstate NY, rented an Airbnb, and a few hours later left the dogs in order to attend an event at UF. This was a lot for my two little dogs! Matt handled them beautifully! Matt arrived on time and stayed with my pups for 5 hours. He took them for a walk, and settled them for a much needed nap. He sent me pictures of my dogs, which was reassuring to me as I was worried about how they would react after traveling so far and being left in a strange home. Matt communicated with me while I was away and his care for my dogs allowed me to enjoy my event. I would hire him again if I was local. 10/10 thank you Matt!!!!! ⭐️

Was an amazing sitter with our boy Gavin. Most definitely would recommend him to anyone that has a dog that pulls and isn’t the friendliest with other dogs. He listened to all of our little routines for Gavin and provided over the top service with longer walks and more walks through out the day.
