Work from home and hiking

Pet care experience

I had a small dog for the past 8 years and before that had a German Shepherd and an Airedale Terrier for 7 years before that. I have great parks and walking paths at my 1st floor condo, no stairs. There are several dog parks not far from my home which I enjoy going to. I am ten minutes to all the trails in south Boulder and I go there all the time. I have plenty of experience with older dogs and giving dogs their meds, shots, etc. I enjoy hiking and walks so they will always get excercise. I’ve also spent time doing dog training using non harmful and positive feedback methods. I am a compassionate person and your dog would be very welcome in my home.

Matthew did a fantastic job caring for our 6 year old, male, Tibetan Terrier, Frazier. Our pup came home clean, well fed and happy. Matt also took the time to give Frazier his probiotic each day as we had requested. The most amazing part was that it seemed Frazier didn't really want to leave Matt's care. That was a definite first and I guess that says it all from Frazier's side! While we were away, we enjoyed receiving numerous photos each day from Matt. They showed Frazier doing everything from taking walks to playing with toys to lounging about to sleeping. That pretty well sums up Frazier's life at home too. We would definitely recommend Matt as a truly caring and competent caretaker for the dog who wants to enjoy " a home away from home'. Thank you so much Matt from us and from Frazier. He is looking forward to his next visit with you! Sincerely, Karla Yates

Matt is great! My dog and cat love him. Matt is fun, responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy. My Great Dane is a senior and has a lot of medical needs. Matt is very patient with him and Bodie adores him, which gives us a lot of piece of mind. He's really all I could ask for in a pet sitter.

If your dog loves to go for walks, Matt's your guy. If your dog hates to go for walks, Matt's still your guy because he customized his backpack to fit his last (small) dog so he could carry the dog when she got tired. True story. He's also one of the only people my wife trusts with our (big, old) dog. Only one caveat in having Matt care for your dog: He lets dogs on the couch so your dog might come home a little spoiled.

Matt is a truly kind person and loves dogs. He has taken care of my dog Squirt on multiple occasions at his condo and she is happy to go to his place. He sends me updates and photos about their hikes and time hanging out together, and she always seems comfortable and content when I come to pick her up. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him.
