Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Best Friend!

I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Silky), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.

Matthew is punctual and patient with my forever puppy Gracie. We had another pleasant visit with Matthew where my dog was very content with her care. I would definitely recommend Matthew with your fur baby.

Matthew loves animals and has been dependable with all my bookings! Every booking is seamless and it puts my mind at ease about my dog Boo. He even gives attention to our cat after Boo gets his walk.

Schedule

As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently.

It’s important for me to understand each pet’s unique needs and routine to provide the best care possible. I like to know what I can expect from them—such as their temperament, energy levels, and any special quirks. Additionally, I ask about how often they like to go out, their feeding schedule, and what activities they enjoy to ensure they have a great time. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet walks, I want to tailor the experience to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
