Lifelong animal lover and owner!

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by dogs since the age of 5. I've had three dogs: a shih-tzu, and two boxers. Let me tell you, after coming home from a long day of school, nothing made me happier than seeing my dogs charge at me for hugs and kisses as soon as I set foot in the house! Obviously, I have accrued much more responsibility with my pets as I've aged. I regularly feed, walk, and play with my pets. To say that I am comfortable around dogs would be an understatement! You can be completely relaxed and calmed knowing that your pets are in my care. I am also an honors student studying medicine at Hofstra University, Which requires large amounts of hard work and responsibility.

Matthew is a very mature and responsible young man. He has cared for my dog many times. He is kindhearted and very loving towards dogs. He is sensitive to their unique needs for playtime and also knows when its time for just snuggles. He is acutely aware of the different needs of a puppy or young dog as opposed to the senior dog. His love of animals shines through. I would highly recommend him!!

Safety, trust & environment

I will happily walk your pet, play with them for a while, feed them, hang out with them on the couch. I cannot board in my own home at the moment.

Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is high energy or more relaxed. I currently have a boxer who is always bouncing off the walls with energy, so I'd need to know what the dog's personality is like before I take care of them.

A typical day

I will take your dog all over the place! The walks can be lengthy, I don't have a problem with that. There is an awesome park very close to my home (not a dog park, just a park in general) so, if your house happens to be close enough to mine, I will take your dog there where he/she can run around as much as they like. There is practically unlimited space.

Availability

I currently have school all week, so I will be free at least one day each weekend to care for your pet. What will probably happen is I will bring my study materials over with me, care for your pet as needed, and when they are catching up on a nap, I'll hit the books. When they wake up, it'll be all playtime for them again until they decide to snooze again.
