Love dogs with all my heart

Pet care experience

I am an active person and love to take walks, what better way to stay active than to be joined by our furry four legged friends!? Will walk as far or near as your dog needs so that they receive the proper exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. No matter how big or small your pup is, I will be able to maintain a secure hold of them and maintain control if they get a little bit too excited when passing other people or dogs. I used to house and dog sit with my girlfriend in college and understand the level of attention and care your pet will need so that both the house and your dog will be in safe and secure hands. I grew up with an old English sheep dog, owned my own yellow lab, and recently I have dog sat and helped to take care of my brother’s pit bull/boxer mixed puppy. I know each and every dog requires it’s own special care and attention and am flexible to provide what your dog will need! When it comes to drop in visits I know that dogs can be lonely at home and often want someone to play with, cuddle up next to or be pet by and I enjoy spending time with dogs as much as they enjoy spending time with me! I love how excited they get when you walk in the door and their level of unconditional love is as pure and genuine as it gets. I want to help give dogs the attention they need so that they live a happy and healthy life because we all know how happy they can make us.

Matthew is our favorite sitter! He is super personable and so easy to work with! He is great at communicating and always making sure we are on the same page when it comes to schedules and our pup's specific needs. Matthew is very knowledgable and is able to not only care for Lucy well but also continue her training regimen. He is very responsible and loves to play and make sure Lucy gets all her energy out! Our Lucy is a strong pup and Matthew is able to walk her and redirect her with ease. Lucy is always so excited to see Matthew! You will not regret picking him as your sitter!

Matthew has a sincere care for dogs. He develops a strong bond with them and wants what is best. He is willing to do whatever it takes to meet their needs and goes above and beyond in his care for them! He has taken care of my puppy during multiple life stages and i know for certain this guy is who you want for any sort of dog walking/sitting!

Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet

A general run through of their temperament is always appreciated so I know what to look out for and be mindful of so that I can keep your dog happy and your dog and others safe! If they have any health concerns I need to know so that I can take the very best care for your dog that I can as their health and happiness is my number one priority. I am a tall man at 6’7” so if your dog doesn’t respond well to large people I may not be for your dog unfortunately but am always open to a meeting them to see if we will get along! I have no preference or restrictions on breeds but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart as I would consider myself a Great Dane in human form.

A typical day

All dogs are different and enjoy different things, whether they need a short walk around the neighborhood or a long walk to a local park I love to do both! They also all enjoy different mediums of playing so whether it’s fetch with a chuck-it, frisbee, tug of war or something else I want to play with them the way they love to play most!
