Hey... Matt here.... My journey started at 16 when my girlfriend at the time brought home a little white puppy... She was a Labrador Retriever and we ended up naming her Cali... I am privileged to have shared my time on this earth with Cali. We shared 12 years together... She provided unconditional love and was always there for me... She taught me how to slow down on the walks and to be in the present... To observe and appreciate my surroundings... She past away September 20th 2019... By the grace of god I had connected with some people here at the apartment building I live at and this lady Nancy which I would get groceries for (and set up Netflix cards and other things lol - she was a blessing) well she put me in contact with a lady named Angela... Angela's babysitter became unavailable and she asked me if I could fill in... I remember my first time looking after Ollie, he is a Border Collie and differs greatly from the personality of a yellow Labrador... he was so full of energy... I looked after him for 3 days... he was all over the place! lol... Well, each day we did 3 long walks and a lot of rope tugs and wrestling and finally he settled down.... I take him out when she is at work.... I like to update her with pictures of our adventures and now its part of the routine... Ollie loves the camera, he knows when I reach for my jacket pocket that it is picture time and that it usually comes with a treat lol.... Our relationship has really blossomed... I love the little guy and I guess it shows... I really care about Angela and her family too... She's become my extended family... Since then... she has talked about me at her work... and more people have joined our little family.... I also attend too two other guys... Vino more regularly he is golden Labradoodle... and sometimes we have a little guy named Rufus who joins us... It really works out great... they run after each other while we walk... They have fun and are exhausted by the end! I have loved animals since I was a little boy, and I am looking to do more of what I love... I would really love to be of service to other people....

Matt did an amazing job! Will definitely be requesting him in the future!
Matt has been walking my dog Rufus since last summer. He goes out of his way to make sure Rufus has a great walk and lots of fun! When Matt gets to the door, Rufus is instantly jumping and running in circles as he knows what seeing Matt means! A fun walk ahead, with other great dogs! Rufus tends to get a little messy in the summer. Matt always ensures that he comes home nice and clean! (Even if that means washing him down himself) Thanks so much for being so great to Rufus!
Matt is truly the best with dogs. My two labs absolutely adore him. I don’t trust many people to take care of my dogs but I can confidently say that when they are in Matt’s care I know that they are receiving the best. He gives them lots of love and attention and brings them on the most adventurous nature walks.
Matthew is the ultimate dog walker, sitter, stand in for you when you can't be there, and you're dog will love you for introducing them to Matthew. Matthew has a genuine connection with your pet, he really loves animals and has an infinity for them. Matthew is soft spoken, gentle, and 100% trustworthy! I've had Matt taking care of my Ollie since we brought him home almost 2 years ago. I do not hesitated at all in giving him a recommendation, and it comes from the heart!
Matthew was referred to me via a coworker due to an upcoming major surgery preventing me from properly exercising my high energy Goldendoodle, Vino. Since then, Matt has quickly become Vino's family and simply mentioning the name "Matt" sends Vino to the window happily awaiting his next adventure. I know my Vino is well looked after in Matt's capable hands as Matt demonstrates his love of nature via long exhausting walks through local trails. Matt has proved to be flexible, professional (love watching the videos and pictures he takes!) attentive, and accommodating (my 6 year old wanted to experience one of Vino's adventures and Matt without hesitation offered to bring her along!) It is obvious that Matt is in this business out of his genuine love for animals and he has a gift when it comes to caring for our "fur babies" . I don't hesitate to recommend his services. We are forever grateful for Matt and the services he provides.
Matt has to be one of the kindest souls out there. My Ollie (Border Collie/Australian Sheppard Mix) 1 year old loves him! Ollie has energy to burn and Matt never fails to take him out to explore our area off leash so that Ollie can expend some of his pent up energy and always returns him a better behaved pup for it! We love Matt, don't know what we'd do without him! He's super reliable and dependable, he's been taking care of Ollie since I adopted him and he's never let us down! Matt sends pictures and video of all their outings and has even gotten his brother to hop into a cold lake in May to teach Ollie to swim! Ollie is an outdoor dog through and through, I work 12 hour dayshifts, so getting him out and about is a priority!!
