I love dogs

Pet care experience

I graduated high school in 1977 after that I moved to Germany and spent 14 years there working for a Chemical Company. I returned to the USA 1992 and have been self employed since I am now semi retired.I have always loved dogs and take care of my neighbors dog on a regular basis I really think this would be my dream job. My first dog was a Shepherd/Lab mix Roscoe an avid frisbee retriever. My second dog Max was a German Shepherd/Basset hound yes it's true he was 10" high 2 feet long Sepherd head and a big bushy tail. The latest dog I've cared for is a Katahula "Scarlett" was a rescue dog my neighbors adopted the wife had a back surgery right away and Scarlett stayed with us for 4 weeks. We took her for walks trips to the doggie park trained her to heal sit and stay we still walk her on a regular basis. I have a friend with a bad back and I often walk his Jack Russel.

Matt is a really lovable and trustworthy person. He shows our dog Scarlett so much love and attention. When I had back surgery he took her in for 5 days and walked her all the time and maybe she walked him. He is the only person we would have left her with. We drop her off when we have errands to run or doctor appointments in Sarasota.

Matt would be an awesome pet sitter to “any” size or breed of dogs. My Sugar (crazy Irish Setter) loved him more than my husband. She would get quite excited when she even heard his voice. Any body who would let a dog, when they met for the first time, lick him in the face is a true dog lover! I really miss her and miss Matt too. If I get another dog, he’d be my only source as a sitter when I go on vacation.

Matthew F is a great guy and loves animals! He has pet sit my Spike many times. Our dog is always happy and content when we get home from our trips away. I always know that Matthew will give him extra love and attention. He is a god send for anyone who needs pet care.
