College Athlete, plenty of time

Pet care experience

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am only available until May 25. My family has had dogs since I was 8 and cats since 12. Have looked after family friends dogs and cats on many different occasions. I have workouts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 7-8:30am and practice Monday and Wednesday from 12:30-3. I have plenty of time and energy to take your dogs out to get the physical and mental exercise they need! I will have pet sitting experience for friends and family for just under 3 years, most of which is from house sitting. I will make sure I can do anything possible to make you and your furry pet feel comfortable!

Matt- thank you for being so wonderful with Oreo. Wishing you and Josie the best of luck with your move. Selfishly wish you were staying so we could rebook you in the future. I especially appreciate you loving my pup and letting her sleep and lay all over the two of you. I immediately felt at ease with having my dog with you after meeting you. Keep being a great person!

Matt is the best you can get when it comes to being a dog watcher. He is attentive, loving, and an all-around sweetheart! I could not recommend him more highly. He has watched my dog multiple times and I always return to such a happy pup. I am so grateful to have had him as a dog watcher.

Information Matt V. would like to know about your pet

Please try to let me know if your dog is special needs or needs extra medical attention. I don’t know much about special needs dogs but I would be very comfortable learning. I like to know about how comfortable your dogs are with other dogs and any information that can help me keep your dog happy and safe!

A typical day

I love walking the trail near my apartment in the afternoons and love going on hikes and adventures! I have plenty of friends that love to socialize with dogs around my campus.

Availability

I am a college student with no classes to take! I have plenty of time. I also am trading as an athlete for ice hockey, so I will usually train once in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Not gone for longer than an hour and a half each time.
