Pet care experience

I had a dog for 14 years, a corgi, who I was the primary person in the house who took care of him. He also had diabetes for the last year of his life, so I gave him insulin through a needle twice a day. I enjoy taking care of dogs, and I have been missing it since my dog passed away last year, of old age at 14 years old. I am free all day, and would like to make extra money as I wait to find a job since I graduated from NYU from graduate school. I recently spent a week staying at my friends place in Brooklyn taking care of their dog and cat while they were away in the U.K. I walked their dog 2-3 times a day, and gave their dog medication for diabetes. I have given dogs baths, and can handle dogs with difficult temperaments.

Matthew has lived in a household with pets most of his life, including his dog Picasso who passed away at the age of 15 (got him as an 8 week old puppy). Picasso was his best friend and in the last 6 months of his life was diabetic. Matthew has experience giving insulin shots as well as making sure the pet feels safe and loved. I have no doubt he would be a perfect match to take care of anyone's pet.

Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs equally, from poodles to pitbulls.

A typical day

I like to walk dogs through parks and bike paths, and play fetch and tug-a-war with them. When staying inside, I like to spend most of the time petting the dog and having them next to me, as long as the dog wants.
