Helping care for furry friends

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Matt! I’ve spent most of my life around dogs, and love every minute I get to spend around them. I grew up with a laid-back golden retriever, rescued a high-energy husky, and now have a senior sheltie. I’m used to all shapes and sizes, and can accommodate all energy levels. Among friends, I’m the go-to person for pet sitting if they have to leave town. I decided to give this a try because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m an active person, and would love to take your dog for a run with me (or a walk if that’s more their speed) No matter how big or small they are! Make your best friend’s day a little better by having me stop by!

Can’t say enough good things about our experience having Matt watch our puppy. Kept us updated and sent tons of photos so we knew how our little guy was doing. Would highly recommend!

Matthew is the best dog caregiver I know! He has been caring for my dog for a couple years now. She is now 11 years old and it is clear how much she enjoys his attention. Matt will walk her several times a day, feed her, play with her, brush her and sneak her treats. She absolutely loves him!

I lived with Matt and his previous dog for years, his patience knows no bounds, and his first priority was making sure his furry companion was always comfortable and safe. He has a big heart for dogs and animals in general, so understanding their needs comes intrinsicly to him. If substantial energy and excersize are required, he is ready to step up and give a pooch all the fun they want!

Information Matthew L. would like to know about your pet

Please give me a heads up on medical issues or phobias. Most breeds are ok. Prefer dogs that are not aggressive towards strangers (for my own safety.)

A typical day

I always try to get as many steps in a day as I can (Thanks Fitbit!), and it’s nice to have company for my walks and runs. I’m also good at fetch (more the throwing part), frisbee, soccer, and even know my way around a brush. I’m a big fan of Memorial Park, and the Buffalo Bayou trails for walks, but anywhere traffic can be avoided is great.
