Pet care experience
I have been working in doggie daycares and animal care facilities since 2017, and have a degree in zookeeping technology. I have a rich understanding for animal behavior and psychology, and have experience working will all breeds. I am qualified to work with almost any animal and am happy to be working in a career field I love. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!
Reviews
Matthew is a kind, caring and responsible person. He lived with me for over a year and did a fantastic job assisting with my pets. I am a disabled combat veteran and it’s hard for me sometimes to take care of my dogs. Matt was always there to help and was both kind and patient with our animals. His knowledge of canines and their mentalities is extensive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for assistance with their pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I have two friendly dogs of my own that love to play and make new friends. Your dogs would be sharing the space in our home with them. We have a yards where our dogs go out to play and get some sunshine, many toys that are readily available for our pets and night time crates that are only used when our dogs want some privacy in the night. (However, they typically like to sleep in our bed.) Your pets would live like our dogs while here with us, with the exception for any special requests form you. We have an extra room in our house that can be used to separate the animals if needed and provide a special safe space.
Home
Information Matthew J. would like to know about your pet
If the Dog has any sort of aggression towards people or animals, if the dog is a new rescue (You got the dog less than Three months ago...), any medications or allergies that the dog my have, or any other special attention or care that the dog may need. (Basically anything you feel is important to mention, is important to me.)
A typical day
I'm really big on enrichment! Animal enrichment are forms of special environmental stimulants that enhance the animals lives through interactive experiences. It's something Ive learned in the zookeeping field that I bring forth towards the pets that I care for. To break it down anything that is extra that enhances the dogs experience and stimulates the animal in both physical, and mental activities. (Going for a walk, puzzle feeders, training, burying treats in the yard for the dogs to find are all forms of enrichment!)
