Safety, trust & environment

Transparency is very important to me. If I’m unsure about something, I prefer to ask for clarification rather than make assumptions. Animals are our best friends, and I believe in kindness, patience, and clear communication. I also take pride in having integrity when it comes to following directions exactly as given to ensure each pet receives the best possible care.

Pet care experience

I bring a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I’m an EMT with training in K9, CPR, and basic first aid, and I’m especially patient with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have a mini Bernedoodle of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and love every dog deserves.

Matthew is the perfect person to watch, walk, and care for your dog. He deeply cares for dogs so much, he took a course and is certified in dog CPR. He has watched my anxious havanese multiple times as well as my guinea pig. My dog loves him so much that she jumps and pees when she sees his car outside. I know my pets are in good hands when Matthew watches them and I don’t have to worry about their care when I am out of town. My dog likes things done in a very specific way, and Matthew listens and does exactly what I ask to ensure that my dog feels safe and comfortable. He is so quick at responding and will send the cutest updates! My guinea pig, who hates being picked up, always walks her way towards Matthew for him to pick her up and pet her. Matthew is caring for all animals and is someone you can rely on.
