Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced local dog walker
Hi my name is Matt and I love to spend my extra time walking dogs! I've cared for dogs nearly 13 years now, and really enjoy making sure the dog is well cared for and receives ample exercise! I look forward to making sure your dog is treated like my own!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure that the client's house is locked at all times. The dog never leaves without a harness and leash. Updates are provided to the owner every step of the way if they are ok with this. I am willing to follow with any other specific safety requests by each owner!
Ratings and reviews
Matt is amazing. I have two dogs, and one can be a bit apprehensive of new people. He warmed up to Matt instantly. Matt instinctively knew to sit down and let my dog come to him when my dog was anxiously barking. My dog immediately stopped barking and went to Matt where he received love, affection, and confirmation that Matt was a safe person. They had a great walk. We'll explore using Matt for house sitting in the future as schedules permit.
Super responsive. Dog and house well looked after. Great overall experience
There is no one I would trust more with my dog than Matthew. He is a kind, caring, responsible and communicative individual who will make sure all your furry friend's needs are met. His love for any and all dogs is unwavering and he takes the time to get to know each one. Any dog would be lucky to gain a friend like Matthew.

- Especially the first time I walk a dog, it is important for me to know how the dog typically greets someone they have never met before. Please note that it will not scare me away if you say your 100+ lb dog likes to jump on new people as soon as I walk in out of excitement; rather, this is just something that I like to be mentally prepared for so that we can both stay safe. I also think it's important for me to know your preference of harness/collar (and any special instructions for putting them on, if applicable) and which leash you would like me to use (if applicable). Further, while I do my best to ensure that your dog will not interact with other dogs (unless otherwise instructed by you), it is also important to know how your dog reacts when they see other dogs. This is to keep everyone safe in the event that another unleashed dog runs up to your dog or similar event occurs. Otherwise, anything else you deem important for me to know is a priority. I am seasoned in reading and executing thorough instructions for any dog, and I am happy to do the same for yours.
