Pet care experience

Animal lover to the core

Let me start by saying that there are two clique sayings that I live and believe whole-heartedly. 1. Pets are our children 2. Dogs are better than people I'm not one to skimp on details but it's my hopes that those two things encompass how I feel and act towards animals. I have two dogs ages 10 and 5 that are spoiled beyond words, but are also very well behaved. In addition to my pups, I often dog sit for friends. From small to giant, from puppies to senior dogs, I have the experience and love to care for your four legged child.

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone in a 4 bedroom house with a nice open floor plan(great for playing with ALL the dogs). The majority of the house is tiled so good for any accidents or mishaps. There are 6 dogs beds placed throughout as well as furniture covers so they're welcome on the couches. I have multiple 64 gallon totes full of dog toys from Barkbox and Kong subscription boxes. Finally, I use my Costco membership to stock up on all the dog treats.

Matthew is a very nice young man. He came and met Ruger prior to our need for him and visited for a while. He has two dogs of his own so I think he was a great new friend to find!

I cannot recommend Matthew as a pet caregiver enough. His genuine compassion towards animals, particularly dogs, is evident through his willingness to go above and beyond for anyone's pet. Having witnessed him interact with his own two pups, I would trust him to care for anyone's pet. There are few people that I trust to watch after my own dog, Paisley, but Matthew has watched her several times and she is always excited to see him. I have no doubt that Matthew will provide the best care and love to any pet that he would look after.

I’ve been lucky enough to call Matthew a friend for the past 20 years, and I can say with absolute certainty that he is a responsible and caring human being. The time and energy he spends on Ruby & Roxanne (his 2 beautiful dogs) is second to none. He cares for them better than any dog owner I’ve known, and they are lucky to have him! My wife and I have also asked Matthew to watch our own dogs while we vacationed, and the pictures and videos he sent reenforced our opinion that there is no one better. He spoiled them!

Matthew took really good care of my dog Remi when I went on vacation. I was extremely nervous to leave her but he updated me pictures the whole time. I really enjoyed how comfortable he me made both of us feel. Her favorite part was all the rubs given to her! Every time she see’s him her tail none stop wags, we appreciate him.

Flexibility is key! I am currently working from home part-time and have the ability to make my own schedule. That will allow me to take on the very important responsibilities of caring for multiple pets each and every day.
