Pet care experience

Reliable and Caring pet lover

I have been walking and caring for pets for 2 years now, and it has been an awesome experience. I have been around pets my entire life and have always wanted a career that allowed me to meet and take care of different types of animals. I am reliable and honest which are important qualities when leaving your pet with someone. I will care for each pet like they are my own and will do whatever the owner needs to feel comfortable leaving there pet with me! I am 35 years old, live in Lewiston, ME. In addition to walking and caring for pets for the past 2 years, I have owned two different dogs over the past 15 years which further stamped my interest in developing a career involving animals!

Matt was very personable and my dogs both loved him! They took to him right away and he was knowledgeable on how to handle greeting and getting to know an anxious dog. Will definitely use him again! Thanks Matt!

We had Matt do a couple drop-ins over NYE for our dog Ruby, everything went smoothly. We were provided updates and he was very attentive of Ruby's needs. During the meet and greet you could tell he was comfortable with dogs and Ruby liked him. Would recommend.

Matthew was a great sitter for Lucy! During our trip, he would keep me informed about Lucy and how she was doing. He was great at replying back to my messages and would send me pictures when I requested since my wife missed her a lot. I could tell that Matthew was a great host to Lucy based on how she behaved when she came back home. When I've left her before at a pet store hotel, she always comes back stressed and doesn't eat for at least a few days. However, when Lucy came home, she was her usual happy self.
