Dog lover who is always available

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Matthew, and I have been watching/around dogs for over 10 years. Growing up I owned two golden retrievers, Bailey & Toby, and they were my best friends. Currently I live with my girlfriend in Dayville, CT with our amazing 12-year old dog named Star. She is such a loving girl and she is always looking for a friend to have around. We also just added a puppy to the family, Georgie who is 7 months old and an absolute bundle of joy. Right now I am free most of the time, so I am able to assist you whenever needed. I am so excited to have this opportunity and to be able to help people with their situation, and even more excited to be meeting all of your lovely animals. I have a wide knowledge of all breeds, so no matter the size or age I would love to take care of your dog. Have a great day and good luck!

He is very understanding and helped with emergency visit and giving medication. Was great comfort for someone who works far from home.
