Your dog(s) will feel right at home

Pet care experience

I am a student at the Medical University of South Carolina and have a schedule where I have classes online and in person so I am home a good bit. My girlfriend also helps with taking excellent care of your pup so they don’t ever spend much time alone. We love going for walks and our complex is very pet friendly with lots of room to explore. We’ve both grown up with dogs so taking care of them is no chore to us. We enjoy providing quality care for each and every unique pet.

Matt was so kind about a super early drop-off, and he worked with me throughout my trip. He dropped my dog and her crate off at home so professionally, and I appreciated the photos he sent. I plan to use him again. My dog loves to be around people and to snuggle, so with Matt's roommates, I know she had plenty of company and fun.

Matthew did a great job watching our pups. They came home happy and well-exercised, and we received lots of updates throughout. Will be using him again!

Matt is fantastic with dogs! My dog Oliver adores him and is always happy to play with Matt. He is very attentive when it comes to looking after pets, especially when he knows he’s watching someone else’s baby. He is always up to take Oliver for a walk when I don’t have time to help keep Ollie active. His playful spirit resonates well with the dogs as well as their owner. I would definitely recommend him to watch anyone’s fur baby!

Matt is my son...so I know that I might be just a little biased. However, he is truly a dog lover. We have had dogs since before he was born. He began helping to care for our first golden retriever as soon as he was old enough to do so...from providing food and water to walking and playing with her. We adopted our second golden when our first was starting to age. Matt loved them both so much! When it was time for each of them to pass over the rainbow bridge, Matt was heartbroken. After both our babies passed, our home felt empty. Matt & his brother begged for another dog. We finally found our next pup...a rescue black lab/jack russell mix. So very different from what we were used to, but she couldn't be loved more! Although Matt is now away at college, every time he comes home, our pup goes crazy for him! He loves spending time with her...whether it's playing in the yard, hiking on the trail, beach time, or just snuggling on the couch. He is a loving human "brother" and always threatens to take her back to college with him. However, he knows he cannot provide the time to devote to her between his clases and working part-time. Having the ability to care for other people's beloved dogs would would provide him the opportunity to spend time with dogs while away from home while providing both the owners and dogs with someone who truly would care for them as he would his own beloved pup! I hope you will consider hiring Matt to love and care for your dog!
