Aspiring To Be Dog's Best Friend
Pet care experience
From my childhood days of caring for my beloved dogs Shadow and Mittens (and Charlie the cat) to my current role as dog foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, I love caring for man's best friend. I am the guy at the party who would rather hang out with pets than people and in our circle of friends, I am the designated dog sitter and walker whenever the need arises.
Reviews
This is the 3rd stay Mona has had with Matt and we love how calm and happy she is when we pick her up. He takes excellent care of her!
Great to work with and my pup was well taken care of! He was very thorough at the meet amd greet; asked questions and showed me his home. Sent pictures everyday.
Matt was a fantastic sitter for our senior dog, Mona. He gave us daily updates and took excellent care of our sweet girl. We could tell how happy and comfortable she was. We appreciated his foster background and attention to detail, asking thoughtful questions to get to know her and her needs. We’re already in the process of booking Matt again!
Matthew did a great job of wearing my dog out. Had scheduled a 30 minute walk and he clocked 37 minutes and nearly a mile. Would hire again.

Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog's special needs, behaviors, and interests in advance -the more that I know about your pet, the better I can care for them!
A typical day
I think it's key to provide both physical and mental stimulation with things like games, puzzle toys, and long sniffy walks. Depending on your dog's interests and preferences, we can engage in physical play as well as mental challenges and training activities.

I work from home, so I have the flexibility during the week to drop in for visits and dog walking. My work schedule allows for me to adapt to what your schedule calls for.
