Pet care experience

They call me "The Dog Whisperer!"

I was raised with both cats and dogs my whole life, and have had multiple animals since I was 2 years old. I love getting to know each animal and learning what keeps them smiling! Likewise, I believe in patience and trust with all animals! My ability to understand a dog's needs has led to my friends and family calling me "The Dog Whisperer". While I don't think it's that dramatic, I do have an ability to get along with all types of animals and all attitudes. I have lived and cared for animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds, and have enjoyed my time with them all!

Matt did a great job looking after Sasha when my husband and I were on vacation. We will happily have her board with him again.

I've known Matt for over 17 years and he has always been a big animal lover. He's a smart, responsible, and caring person that would be great for watching your pet!

Matt has always been fantastic with pets--we call him 'the dog whisperer.' He has a way about him that dogs just love. Even my grumpy min-pin found love at first sniff. I highly recommend him to any doggy parent looking for some help.

Schedule

I work remotely, so all I need is a laptop and I can work anywhere or anytime; giving me the flexibility to spend time with the animals and give them the care they deserve.
