Pet care experience

Experienced Animal Lover!

Howdy! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I absolutely love! Throughout my life, I've always had dogs and later worked full-time at a doggie daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. During that time, I completed training classes and emergency pet care courses, giving me the knowledge to respond confidently in both everyday situations and unexpected ones. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors who may need extra patience, medication management, mobility support, or a slower pace. If you’re interested, I can also provide one-on-one training sessions during your pup’s stay to reinforce good manners, basic commands, or specific goals you may have. When your pet is with me, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests you provide. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to ensure they’re feeling secure and well cared for at all times. I have a friendly, playful dog who loves making new friends, and two cats who have their own dedicated space to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. My home is structured, supervised, and pet-focused. Your pet will be treated as part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care throughout their stay. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member!

This was my first time using Matthew as a dog sitter, and I had a great experience! My dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I appreciated the updates while I was away, and I would definitely trust him to watch my dog again. Thank you so much!
