Your dogs will be happy with me
Pet care experience
I have had a dog my entire life from the time I was a kid, ever since I can remember. I am skilled with dogs and I've taken dog training classes so I know what your dog is saying by reading his/her body language. I am good with puppies and older dogs and I can also manage a dog whose somewhat skiddish or scared by moving slow and taking time to let the dog trust me. I have two dogs of my own and I walk them daily on long walks, usually 1.5 hours in the oakland hills . Happy to bring your dogs along or happy to have them come stay with me at my house should you need it.
Reviews
My dog can be a challenge to care for, he's wary of new people and gets scared on walks pretty easily. But Matt was great with him, very patient and gentle! He brought one of his own dogs so mine had a buddy and I was very happy about that.
Matt was available last minute for boarding and took great care of my pup. Communication was good and pickup/drop off were easy.
Matt took great care of my dog, Koji. Koji is a very skittish and nervous rescue so finding a sitter for him has been difficult, but Matt provided expert and professional care. Communication was easy and he sent updates throughout my trip. Would definitely recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard with space for some running but most of the running takes place while out on long walks. I also have a good clean pet friendly home. I am great at following instructions when It comes to dog sitting or house sitting. I'm dependable and trustworthy and I know how to care for your dogs safely in any environment whether your house or having them at my house.

Availability
Pet care fits into my everyday schedule as I have 2 dogs of my own (they are socialized and good with other dogs). I would Say I spend about 1.5 hrs walking them per day total plus time for attention when hanging out at home. I work from home most days so it's easy to have the dogs here with me and they get plenty of attention and love.
