Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my number one priority. The main concerns in-town are vehicles, other animals, and foreign objects on the ground. I will care for your pet responsibly and with compassion. Every animal is unique and I will take the time to get to know your pet in order to be able to best meet their needs.

Obviously caring, punctual, excellent communication, and professional. Couldn't ask for better treatment of our pets while we were out of town.

Matt is reliable, attentive, and clearly invested in making sure my dog was happy and well-cared-for. He followed her routines to the letter, which gave me enormous peace of mind while I was out of town. I’d happily trust him with her again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a thoughtful, dependable dog walker!

I would like to know as much about your pet as possible ahead of time such as age, breed, temperament, mannerisms, special needs, and specific care instructions. This helps me prepare to provide the best care possible.
