Pet care experience

Student Doctor, Cincinnati Native

Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays. In terms of other experience, I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati preparing for a career in emergency medicine. I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.

Matt has been watching my dogs (9 and 5) for years when I’m out of town. He always makes sure they get nice long walks and I’ve never had to worry about their safety on his watch! Highly recommend.

Matt was extremely professional and caring towards my dog. He was patient, calm, attentive, and so loving towards him! I definitely recommend him to any dog owner needing a walker or sitter.

Schedule

I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January.
