Dog’s best friend! Excited to care!

Pet care experience

I only know a life with dogs, as I got my first as a child and haven’t lived without one ever since. Most recently, my wife and I had TWO 17 year old dogs (1 recently passed) which we raised since puppies. They each had their own medical challenges over the years, but we both have an extraordinary amount of patience and care for our fur babies and have kept them strong for their ages! We’re always asked what our secret is. We treat every animal like our own and you can have the peace of mind that your pets are receiving top notch, genuine attention. Additionally, I enjoy being outdoors and active, in any weather, and am happy to get those energetic dogs out plenty.

Matthew is an exceptional, all-weather dog walker. He is consistently punctual and reliable, regardless of the forecast. He walks Genie with true purpose, ensuring he gets the exercise he needs. He always returns home energized, alert, and happy. I highly recommend his services.
