Pet care experience
I believe consistency is key to keeping my clients happy. I'm certified in Pet First Aid and CPR and have been providing a high standard of care for pups in Chicago since July, 2015. I continue to educate myself everyday and brainstorm different situations which could arise. You never know when an unleashed dog will approach you while you're out and about on a walk! I am trained and experienced to care for your dog, no matter what season it is 24/7. I also believe that great communication is key to having successful relationships with my clients. I'lll be sure to always keep you in the loop with your pups well being. Whether it be a text, facetime, skype, snapchat, instagram shout out... You tell me what you would prefer!
Reviews
Matt is way overqualified to take care of healthy golden but I am so glad I found him. He knows. Just how to relate to her and care for her. He could not have been better. He kept in touch. Sent pics and brought back a very happy healthy member of our family.
My husband went from being a stay-at-home dog dad (er, I mean business school student) to traveling for work four days a week, so it was a big adjustment for our (spoiled) pups. Within a couple days, Matt came over to meet the dogs and get us all set up for daily dog walks. Matt is WONDERFUL! My dogs adore him. He has been so reliable, consistent, and flexible. I have surprised him with house guests, additional dogs, time changes, and last minute cancellations and he is always so nice and easy going. He also trains my dogs which is an added bonus. I love the little notes and occasional pictures I get :) Scheduling is super easy. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone!
Matt cared for our (anxious) adult Standard Schnauzer twice in the past few months while we went out of town. Once for a longer over-night stay and once when we got into a travel pinch and he came to the rescue! Our Jackson is extremely nervous, but we came home and he was very calm. Matt even had to coordinate with a different family member because my husband and I were out of town and the transition from that family member to Matt was seamless. We were thousands of miles away and knew Jackson was in great hands. For the longer stay, Matt sent detailed daily reports both by text and we came home to a log about each of their walks and overnights. I hope Matt can care for Jackson again in the future!

Information Matthew A. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds. I do have a client form that I will have you fill out, just for my records. It will contain places to note information such as treat/food/med locations, home security, etc. This will be provided to you during our Meet & Greet (free consultation).
A typical day
I know of a fenced in park we can visit and there are also plenty of fun routes I know in my neighborhood. On walks, I can walk, jog or run with your pup - I will pay attention to what your pups want, even if it is just to stop and smell the flowers. :)
