Active young professional dog lover

Pet care experience

I've worked for a professional dog walking company during my masters degree and loved every minute of it. With this experience I stayed over night with the dogs at both my home and the client's home, walks and or runs, drop in visits and meet and greets. I currently have a dog, Dexter, who I rescued last year and is great with other dogs. He has been used many times to help socialize a lot of family, friends as well as neighborhood dogs. I am very easy going and flexible. I grew up playing soccer and all still very active playing sports. I enjoy reading, relaxing and anything that has to do with the outdoors. Education wise I studied art history and studio art at Michigan State University before I went on to get my Masters of Architecture from Lawrence Tech. I currently am an architect at a small firm here in Grand Rapids and just miss being around all the dogs I was around during school. I am professional, clean, detail oriented and always make it a priority to be on time and take care of my clients needs. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to be working with you soon. Have a wonderful day. -Matt

Matthew was such a great sitter. He came over to meet Chance before our vacation, asked questions on care instructions, and provided frequent, thoughtful updates throughout the weekend (pictures of Chance’s adventures included). I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter that will take great care of your fur baby and who also really enjoys spending time with dogs.

Matt was great! He came to meet Bear before we left on vacation and gave me updates throughout his stay. I will definitely use Matt again to care for my dog Bear.

Matt stayed at our house with our pit mix Henry, and the experience was so GOOD, that Henry was sad to see Matt and Dexter(his dog) go. My husband and i would highly recommend Matt to care for anyone's pet kid.
