Pet care experience

Animals are my passion, my purpose

🐶🦜🐇Since the day that I was born I have always had multiple animals living in my home simultaneously - dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, lizards, rabbits, etc. - even up to 8 at one time. My mother and I have always been animals lovers, and my connection with animals can only be described as spiritual. My life purpose, nay - my destiny, here on earth, is in the caring for and protection of animals and nature. 🙋‍♂️🗣 🤳 Whilst trusted with watching your beloved pet, you can feel comfortable knowing that you will receive a profuse amount of updates, as well as pictures (perhaps too many 😊), as I want to make sure that you’re comfortable and confident that your pet is not only doing well, but thriving. I know from experience how challenging it can be to leave your furry friend with anyone, let alone a stranger. That is why I make it a priority to ensure that you are comfortable leaving your pet with me, and therefore can enjoy your time away from him or her without worrying about their wellbeing. 🦮👍Rest assured that your beloved pet is in the best hands possible. Even when not being paid, my first priority is to the safety of all animals, and I will often go out of my way, and sacrifice my time and energy to make sure that an animal (or any living creature) is safe, cared for and loved. ❤️😊 🐾 What is the most important element that I bring to the table? Love. Unconditional love; whether it be for humans or animals, I infuse all that I do with love. Love is the most important element to any relationship, whether it be with your family, your friends, the cashier at your nearest grocery store, or any animal that you come across. It is especially important with animals because animals do not think, they feel; they feel your energy, and such is the reason why I always aim to project a loving, confident presence; I not only want you to know that your beloved animal is in good hands, I also want your furry friend to feel comfortable and safe under my watch.

Matthew is great with my specially formulated boy Bronco. Between my pups exuberance towards anything squirrel like and his talent at interrogating strangers upon exiting my building, Matthew handles his quirks well. Matthew followed my instructions on where to walk him and not to walk him and fed him meals and treats as listed. I’ve had Matthew back twice now and I do believe Bronco is better on walks after his visits from Matthew. I plan on booking with him again.

Matty loves Matthew and I know I can trust him with my pup! He is a great communicator and ensures he is addressing all of Matty’s needs - highly recommend!

Stayed with my crew during a very scary thunderstorm with a power outage while I was traveling for work! Matt made sure all of my dogs (and cats!) felt safe.

😍😃🐨 As mentioned previously, I do feel, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I was put on this earth to work with animals in some capacity, so deciding to lend my services to Rover felt like a natural fit. It doesn’t feel like work to me and I sometimes cannot believe that I am getting paid to do what I love.

I would like to know about your dog's temperament. Is the dog loving & playful? A little bit stand offish? Does your dog like his/her belly rubbed? Are there certain things that your dog doesn't like? I would like to know about your dog's diet. Does your dog have a sensitive stomach? Is he/she allowed to enjoy treats? Is your dog allergic to anything or is there anything that your dog loves to eat? My dog loves bananas and pears! How well is your dog trained? Is he/she familiar with basic commands, such as sit, come, lay down? Regardless of your dog's temperament, dietary restrictions/needs and training, I would love to work with your dog. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, types, sizes, preferences, etc. You name it, and I've experienced it. What would you like to tell me that would make you feel the most comfortable trusting me with your beloved pet?
