Pet care experience

Howdy, my name is Matt. I have been a lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, birds, and other critters. Professionally I worked at PetSmart for three years specializing in dog and cat products as well as customer service. One of my current jobs is working at Petco. I'm fairly new to pet sitting, however I love working with animals and I enjoy meeting new pets and their servants -- I mean owners (I'm partial to the term "friendbeast"). Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Retriever/Irish Setter mix that my parents took in as a stray when I was a baby. We were inseparable; everywhere I went, the dog went. She passed away when I was around 15. Since then I adopted another dog as well as two cats.

Matt is one of the most kind and intuitive dog sitters I have ever known. He has pet sit for me several times. Tragically, after he has spent time with my dogs, they would rather be with him than me! He has repeated exceeded our standards in providing safe, intelligent, fun dog care by taking them on 45 minute walks, and then writing us a memo so we know how their day was. We can come home from work and relax with 2 very happy, tired and well fed dogs. I wish I was a dog and could have Matt take me on a fun journey, give me a massage, treats and perpetually tell me nice things about myself. For now, I have to be content knowing that I can rely on him to provide even better care for my dogs than I do most days. I'm guilt free and Steve and Sake are living life large! I
