Dog Lover Who Works From Home

Pet care experience

I love dogs. I grew up with dogs and often watch my parent's or sister's dogs when they are away from home. I work from home in health IT consulting and have the ability to watch dogs during the day. I enjoy taking dogs to the park and getting some exercise with them on a walk weather-permitting. Given my work schedule, I often have flexibility during the day to walk dogs as necessary too and given the attention they need to feel comfortable through play & exercise. I live in an apartment (owner-occupied) with plenty of space for small or mid-sized dogs. I do not have any other pets right now nor do I have any children. The apartment is pretty quiet and the neighborhood is a good place to work dogs with plenty of grassy areas and only neighborhood traffic. Overnight dog-sitting rates are on a 24-hour period. If your dog is dropped off in the morning, it means you will pick it up in the morning or possibly be charged an additional doggy daycare sitting rate as well.

Matt is so attentive and does a great job taking care of our pup (who has cancer and special needs). Matt goes above and beyond making our pup feel comfy and judging from our pups disposition after we pick him up, he has a great time with Matt. No signs of stress and separation anxiety. We are grateful for Matt’s help with our pup!

Matthew is very responsible and carrying person. My old dog got good service during my two weeks away.

Matthew was great with Duffy! He helped us out last minute when another sitter had to cancel. He took Duff on lots of walks and was very communicative during the stay. I would definitely recommend Matthew and reach out to him for future stays.

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know its daily routine including when it eats, how much water it drinks, when it needs to be let out including if it needs daily exercise, and if it has any special needs (e.g. medications). It would also be helpful to know how well it gets along with other dogs if I need to walk it or how friendly it is with strange people.

A typical day

I will walk the dog around my neighborhood. If the weather is nice, I would take the dog to East Goshen Park or one of the surrounding parks within 10 minutes that are dog-friendly. If the dog likes to be rubbed or play games, I would give it some attention as necessary in the morning or evening.
