Your Dog Will Love Lake Eola Walks

Pet care experience

I have always been a huge dog lover but never had an opportunity to have one for myself, due to work travels. I now have a job that allows me to stay in Orlando and I work one block from when I live, in downtown. Your dog will be treated like family with daily text photo updates (if you want), belly rubs, walks around Lake Eola, and all the couch time they want. I've been the "office pet sitter" for a while now and want to continue doing this until I feel ready to adopt one of my own! Growing up, I had two golden retrievers that I took care of daily and trained to do the fun tricks that everyone expects your dog to know. They were my best friends through school and even when I left to attend college at USF.

I encountered a time a few months back when I had to leave town last minute and all my friends were unavailable to watch my sweet pup. I was extremely stressed because he has some anxiety issues and I knew I couldn't just leave him with anyone. Matt was a co-worker of mine and I immediately thought of him. He has such a warm, welcoming, fun, and caring personality with an immense love for animals, I knew that if I trusted anyone with my dog it would be him. Although the request was very last minute, he accepted without hesitation and I even remember getting a text leading up to the day about how excited he was. I was still nervous because of his anxiety issues, but within minutes of Matt having him I knew I had nothing to worry about. He was sending me photo and text updates and Boo was living the life with Matt. Matt was spoiling him more than I ever did! I was so impressed with the amount of care he had for a dog that wasn't even his. Boo now has a forever friend (which is a big deal for BooBoo since he doesn't like most people.) Matt is truly the absolute best!

Matthew is one of the most loving, caring, compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has such an amazing spirit about him, and his love for animals is incredibly evident! Matthew is everything you would want in someone you are trusting with your dogs, plus so much more!

Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet

Although I've grown up with dogs, I haven't had one of my own for a while now. Preferably an older dog would be great, or one that does not have too much energy/anxiety for when I am away at work. I honestly love all dogs though and it will come down to the chemistry to see how we will get along!

A typical day

Since I live downtown, there are many little parks that we can enjoy! Lake Eola is massive and we will go on daily walks around there, but my community also has a small fenced in dog park as well. For weekend stays, I don't mind bringing your dog to Cocoa Beach for the day or play catch in the park. I have friends with dogs, and if yours is a social butterfly, I can bring them over for a fun day.
