Pet care experience

Loving care in Como

I grew up with every animal you can think of, with experience training and raising dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and more. Care will be in my home, with my pets. My yard is fully fenced, and pets are never left outside unattended. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a full-time nanny, but with kids in school I am usually home overnight until 6:30a, then 9am-3p, and after 9p during the week. Weekends fluctuate, but I am ALWAYS able to come home to attend to the needs of the pets in my care without issues (the family I nanny for are HUGE pet lovers as well and understand). I can give any type of medication, am comfortable with medically fragile and senior pets, am open to really any kind of pet that I am able to accommodate.

Matthew has grown up caring for and loving pets. Has always had at least 2 or 3 pets of his own ranging from reptiles to farm animals and everythingnin between. He has extensive knowledge on the correct care for pets and is quick to learn if he doesn't know a specific species. He will make a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I would trust him with my pets over anyone else.

Matthew is a true lover of animals. For every pet he interacts with, he treats them with respect and the highest form of love. I would entrust my pets to Matt’s care any day. Definitely hire him!

Schedule

I have flexibility in my schedule to be able to accommodate your pet's needs. I work as a full-time nanny, but have a very flexible schedule and I am able to take time to go and attend to your pet's needs when needed. The family I work for are huge animal lovers, and completely understand if I need to take a pet out that is staying with me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with a privacy fence facing the street. My own dogs are crate trained, and I have gating in my home to separate them if needed/preferred. Your pet will stay in my bedroom while I am working, and will have LOTS of supervised time in my yard. I live in the very walkable Como neighborhood of St Paul, so shady walks are easily provided.

Pets

A typical day

We love to go for walks in the Como park system. For furry friends who are more timid, we play in the back yard and relax in the house. I also have a partially finished basement that I use for my own dogs for obedience and good citizen training that can also be used for indoor exercise in cases of poor weather.

Any special needs or medications. If there are behavioral issues and how you handle them/want me to handle them. I will never say no to a dog because of a behavior issue, but appreciate up front information for everyone's safety.
