Writer and dog-lover.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in East Texas. We always had at least three dogs and I always wanted to be the one taking care of them. When I moved to NYC at 19 I decided that dog-walking would be my job while I pursued writing. I worked as a walker/sitter for 3 years until I got a writing gig. However, I've realized that I deeply miss it and would love to start again.

Information Matt S. would like to know about your pet

All I would like to know before sitting a dog would be there tendencies towards other dogs and how often a potty break is normally needed.

A typical day

I love taking the dogs to Dog Parks if that is allowed by the owner. If not it's always fun to play around the house or just go out on a nice walk.
