Getting back onto Rover after moving here from Colorado... My wife (T) and I have been working with dogs, and other animals since 2017. I have an applied associates in zookeeping technology, and have managed professional dog kennels in the past. We both have a rich understanding for animal behavior, psychology, and animal training. We are experienced working will all breeds. I am qualified to work with almost any animal and love the work I do. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!
Qualifications
Ratings and 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.

Schedule
Pet care is important to me because our pets are members of our families. I work with dogs all day, everyday and try to give my clients the best, fun and active, well balanced lives possible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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. We have many toys that are readily available for our pets and night time crates that are only used when our dogs want some privacy. (However, they typically like to sleep in our bed.) Your pets would live like our dogs while here with us, with the exception of any special requests from 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.
Pets
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!)
