Highlights
Pet care experience
"Guardian of the Animals"
I grew up in the country, where I had more dogs than neighbourhood friends. I have rescued countless numbers of animals in my day. My first job was animal control for shelby county when I was sixteen. Now I'm everybody's favorite dog Uncle. I've had numerous friends and family request I watch over their pets because they know they'll be in good hands. Just last year I lost my best friend, a 15 year old black lab named Todd Philip. Turns out he rescued me, now it's time to give back!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Plenty of room for laying around in my apartment, second story balcony for hanging outside. There is a big dog park less than 50 feet away from my door. Also there are 3 more dog parks that are at adjacent complexes that are easy to walk too. Less than five minutes walk to Percy Priest lake one of my favorite places to explore.
Ratings and reviews
Hi, As a hard working, pet loving guy, I would recommend Matthew for your pet and pet sitting needs. I've known him for most his life and I trust my pet's life with him. Very few people I would say that about since our cat IS our kid!
I've known Matthew since he was a small boy and he has always been surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs and fish. He's even been employed by a pet store. He has a true heart for animals, caring for them as if they were people. Animals respond to him with trust and obedience. You can truly trust your fur baby is in protective hands. Matthew's calm, rational disposition allows him to assess any situation that may arise with responsible decisions processes. Your pet, upon meeting, should be able to let you know immediately what Matthew's character is made of. You will have peace of mind with the animal whisperer.
My precious cat, Gullum, is 7 years old and unfortunately has type 1 diabetes. Matthew was easily taught on how to perform his glucose monitoring tests and providing insulin injections. He takes such good care of my precious boy; I would definitely recommend him to watch over your animals as well.
Matthew was phenomenal with the care he gave to our Isabel! He was timely, responsible, and we could tell that he has a true and genuine passion for animals. Would certainly use him again without hesitation.
We’ve used Matthew on several occasions to watch our Buckley. Buckley loves him! We received pics and updates multiple times a day while we were away. Matthew is a very active person and that helps so much for our pup bc we live in an apartment. Buckley loves to be outside and it’s a perk to have a sitter that loves the ourdoors as well.
Matthew is amazing with animals. He watched my my dog Zuez who is hard to manager,but he did great with him walking him, giving me updates, and tending to my dogs needs with him being an elderly dog. Will definitely be requesting Matthew’s services again!
