*New* All NEW clients receive a free dog toy from BarkBox! :) Hey everyone! My name is Matthew and I am a New Yorker born and raised. I have been professionally taking care of dogs & cats for nearly six years now but have over 15 years of experience with them over all! I service a majority of the Bronx/Manhattan areas. As you can see by my reviews I ensure to give my clients the best service I can offer and strive to make absolutely sure that you will be as happy as your fur baby in my care. A little about myself: I am 29 years old and I graduated college back in 2015 with a degree in criminal justice and law however after graduating that field I realized I no longer had the passion for it, eventually I found this waiting for approval into the NYPD and ended up loving it. I was already an owner of an amazing dog named Midnight a Schipperke who I adopted in my college years so this just seemed like the right move for me. I already loved animals and have been around them literally my entire life. Owning Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Cockerspaniels, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu's and so many more including a few cats - even fish/birds haha! While your dog is under my care they will be walked as frequently as you ask of me to do so - whether its 2 or 4 times a day. Their feeding schedule will align with what you have set up for them and of course in between all of that they will get all the love and attention they need. If you have an elderly dog or a dog that has special needs no need to worry! I have experience in administering medications of all kinds, including diabetic shots, or eye drops for blindness, even medication like lotions/soaps for dry skin or potential allergens. This applies for any of my services whether it be a boarding, sitting or drop-in. Just let me know! I send photos/videos usually once a day, along with a brief description on how their stay is going each morning or night just so you are always kept in the loop. However if you feel like you don't need as many updates feel free to let me know! I know some are usually at work or busy in general so I don't want to interrupt your busy day! And as you might've noticed my photo-rate has actually gone down to 50%, that is because most of my clients currently are repeats and don't need photos as often, or not at all. But yeah! :) Please note cat boarding's are rarely accepted since cats are extremely territorial in most cases - this presents issues when other dogs are in the home so this is purely a safety precaution! However sittings, drop ins or any other services you may need I am always happy to help!
