House husband with fenced in yard.

Pet care experience

My family has fostered dogs and cats of all ages since I was a little fella. I personally have been a pet sitter off and on for many years. I have worked for several companies that provided boarding for pets. Vets offices and stand alone boarding facilities. I had the privilege of working for a wonderful gal in Detroit at her pet sitting company, which she runs out of her home. I performed various tasks including walking, playing, brushing, baths, administering medications, orally or through food. Occasionally I had clients with older pets who just needed to be checked on and to provide company. Aside from taking care of pets I was asked to complete various tasks for the owners themselves such as picking up their mail and watering plants, which I was more than happy to do. I have a little experience with injecting medications with a syringe, as I had an elderly cat with kidney issues who recently passed away at the age of 22.

Mathew did a fantastic job taking care of Maggie! She is shy at first, but he always wins her over in a day or two. He is so patient with her. Thank you, Mathew!!

Matthew is the best!! He was soo good with my two dogs that can be a handful at times!! Matt played and loved on my girls so much they continue to wait by the door for him weeks after he tended to them… I trust him completely with my girls and I will overwhelmingly refer him to all friends moving forward !

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

Dogs tend to act differently in a new environment, often in ways that you might say they have never exhibited before. Aggressiveness or marking inside. If your dog is prone to either of these on a good day they will not be a good fit with my dogs. Separation anxiety can cause severe issues as well so please be up front about any quirks your fur kid may have.

A typical day

My neighborhood is very large with many places to explore. We have multiple ponds and preservers with plenty of smells for dogs to enjoy. As well as a wooded bike path.
