Dogs are family!

Pet care experience

I was raised in a family that cherished dogs, like family members; Mom had me take my husky-shepherd Charlie, to obedient school when I was 10 years old; I’ve been walking dogs for years, in a family setting years before I walked others’s dogs for money; I have experience with young dogs, many different breeds (Jack Russell Terriers, Schnauzers, German Shepherds, Poodles, Pugs and even French Bulldogs); I’ve had to administer medication, care for dogs with special needs: blindness and hearing impaired canines. To me my dog clients are like my nephews and nieces. It’s been a privilege to become a dog sitter, because I put 100 percent of my heart into the animals, that I look after; there is something truly uplifting about it!

My husband and I have known Matt for 7 years and he has been taking care of our two dogs multiple times a year as we travel the world. Matt is extremely trust worthy and has a real love for our pets. Matt is extremely helpful in administering my pets oral medication while we are gone and constantly staying on top of the changing in diets/meds as our pets age. Matt spends quality time with our pets; he physically lives at our home while we are gone; cooking, showering and sleeping there. This ensures that our pets are getting the same "family" time vs. someone just dropping in to feed and water them. I highly recommend Matt for anyone's pet needs.

Matt watches my 2 dogs every time I go out of town. One is older and needs daily medication and Matt has been great about these and other special needs. He truly cares for our pets like his own. Matt is entirely trustworthy and responsible with our pets, home and belongings.
