Pet care experience

AKC Labradors to Frenchie owner

As a kid, I had the pleasure of raising labradors for my family. They were AKC registered, and we took care of at least five females and one stud dog at a time. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of owning a dachshund, a miniature schnauzer, and now a Frenchie. I have former experience rehabbing dogs and informally training dogs.

Matthew has been around dogs most of his life. Assisted in a family hobby kennel for about 10 years raising AKC Labradors. Has owned two dogs since leaving college and is an excellent caretaker. I have always known him to be a responsible person and would not hesitate to have him care for any animal I owned.

Schedule

Weekends mostly. I’m a single dad and so I’m pretty free to watch your dogs while you go out on weekend getaways. If scheduled, am open to extended stays.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood in rural Centralia. The city park is four blocks away and can give your dogs daily walking in a safe area.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking multiple walks in a day. I also enjoy playing fetch and tug of war games, outback in my fenced yard. A park close to where I live also gives me the opportunity to allow dogs to have the full lead if you have an extended leash.

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs. I’m willing to accommodate. I have given medications to dogs in the past.
