Lifelong friend of pets! 🐕 ❤ 🐈
Pet care experience
As a kid, I was entrusted with keys to houses throughout my neighborhood so I could feed and walk multiple dogs. As a teenager, I volunteered at the humane society in Indiana and even multiple animal rescue and rehabilitation centers in South America. Dogs are naturally comfortable around me, and I believe every dog deserves love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I have always been fine with dogs who jump, bite, or are overanxious for whatever reason. A calm approach and voice can work wonders for an anxious pet!
Reviews
Thank you for caring for Raymond Grapes!
Matthew was great. Super responsive and got along really well with Indiana while staying with her.
Matt is so good with Gus and really comes to our rescue when I need someone to watch him while I’m gone for the day. He always seems tired when I get home which means he’s been walked very well! We appreciate you so much! Thank you!
Excellent care of my pets and house! I would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience keeping keys for multiple houses in order to walk, feed, water, and play with family pets while the owners are at work or on vacation. I care for each new pet as an individual with their own personality and attitude. Tell me about your pet(s) so we can become fast friends!
Information Matthew P. would like to know about your pet
Tell me all about your pet(s) so we can become fast friends! Each animal is an individual with a personality. The more I know about your pet(s) before we meet, the better I can prepare to connect with them! Are they curious? Cautious? Playful? Anxious? Are they people-friendly? Are they pet-friendly? How much energy do they typically exhibit during a walk, and how well do they listen to commands? The more I know, the smoother our first outing will go!
A typical day
Let me know how a typical walk will go on an average day, and I will try to accommodate any special instructions/requests! Does your dog like an energetic pace or do they prefer to stop and smell the roses every few steps? We'll discuss your dog's preferences, and come up with an exercise plan that is unique to each pet!

I'm currently working part-time on an inconsistent schedule, and I'm looking to focus much more of my time on caring for pets in the area.
