Pet care experience

I can be your Pet's Best New Friend

My lifelong passion for animals has shaped my journey, from early involvement in animal care programs to immersive experiences in animal zoos and hands-on teaching ventures. Through self-education and specialized training, I've acquired comprehensive knowledge in caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and even horses. My expertise extends specifically to canine care, with years of dedicated experience in dog training, socialization, medication administration, grooming, and overall well-being. Whether it's walking dogs of all sizes, ages, or special needs, I am committed to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to each furry friend's unique requirements. As a responsible and dependable dog and cat caretaker, I prioritize your pet's needs above all else. If you're seeking a caregiver who will shower your beloved dog or cat with love, attention, and exercise while you're away, please reach out to me. Together, let's ensure your furry family member receives the exceptional care they deserve.

Matthew was charismatic and responsive. He was very responsible, on time, and kept me updated on my dog's status every day. I would board my dog with him again.

We keep coming back to Matthew again and again. Both responsible and responsive, and it's clear from the photos he sends that our cats absolutely LOVE him. He consistently goes above and beyond, including "detailing our floors" by sweeping around the litter boxes to keep the floors fresh and smooth!

Schedule

Pet Care is a significant part of my weekly routine and includes: research on multiple dog breeds' (temperament, Dog Type, Friendliness level) In addition, I have the knowledge of what dogs should or should not consume, how they need to be groomed, and what activitiesare most stimulating to them, and how to increase their obedience level through training.

Walking sessions will include fun, stimulating, and sociable (upon permit) interactions. This includes seeing and safely interacting with new areas (dog-safe parks..etc. ) and Playing with your dog's favorite toys...I can even help the owner enforce training by practicing commands and working on dog socializing and training skills ( sit, stay come, heel, etc.)
