Pet care experience
Do you want your dog to live a longer, healthier, and happier life? That's exactly what I’m here to help with. I'm Matthew, a dedicated USMC veteran and passionate animal lover, and I specialize in providing high-quality pet care that goes beyond the basics. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve rescued three wonderful cats—Luna, Jack, and Pepper—from a heavy equipment yard, and turned them into loving, confident companions. My experience extends to dogs as well. I offer a unique approach that combines fitness, discipline, and plenty of love to ensure your dog thrives. **What I Offer:** 1. **Fitness-Focused Dog Walks:** I believe in enriching a dog's life through regular exercise. I provide daily walks and run sessions 2-3 times a week, tailored to your dog’s energy level and fitness needs. Let's get your dog on a fitness plan that not only keeps them active but also adds years to their life. 2. **Expert Care and Attention:** My mornings are filled with engaging activities—I take my cats on walks and have a special routine calling out to two beautiful black cats who have become a part of my daily life. I’ve successfully trained two large, previously aggressive dogs to be friendly around cats, demonstrating my ability to manage and care for pets with different temperaments. 3. **Holistic Approach:** Raised on a small farm, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—pygmy goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, and more. This experience has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, all of which I bring to my pet care services. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a vigorous run, or just some loving attention, I provide a balanced approach that meets their unique needs. **Why Choose Me?** - **Reliable and Trustworthy:** As a USMC veteran, I bring discipline, commitment, and a strong sense of duty to every task. Your pets are in safe, capable hands. - **Passion for Animals:** My lifelong love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. - **Customized Care Plans:** I tailor every walk and exercise session to fit your dog’s specific needs, ensuring they get the most out of every outing. **Ready to Enrich Your Dog’s Life?** Let's create a fitness plan that keeps your dog active, healthy, and excited for each day. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and has the skills to keep your pet happy and well-exercised, look no further. Contact me today to schedule a walk, and let’s give your dog the best life they deserve!
