Hi there! I'm Matthew, and I've been a devoted companion to dogs of various breeds and temperaments for over 10 years. My journey with dogs started from the moment I was born, sharing my home and heart with them for the first 18 years of my life. While the initial years were more about cohabitation, the last decade has been focused on understanding and caring for these wonderful beings deeply and professionally. I recognize the immense responsibility that comes with caring for a dog—ensuring they have sufficient playtime, go out when needed, and receive ample praise and affection. I also appreciate that dogs thrive on training; they relish having a job to do and I love guiding them through this. With a flexible work-from-home arrangement on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and a standard 9-5 schedule on the other weekdays, I'm able to provide your furry family members with the care, exercise, and attention they deserve throughout the week. My evenings and weekends are also dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and well-cared for. Whether you're on vacation or just need a helping hand, I'm here to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Why Choose Me: A Decade of Experience: I bring ten years of hands-on experience in dog care, offering peace of mind that your pet is in knowledgeable hands. Flexible Availability: My schedule allows me to be there for your dog during the crucial before and after-work hours, ensuring they never feel alone. Personalized Care: I pledge to follow your specific instructions meticulously, making sure your dog's routine and needs are met to your exact standards. Insured for Peace of Mind: I've invested in Pet Care Insurance to provide an additional layer of security and reassurance for you and your furry family member, ensuring the highest standards of care and responsibility.
