Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet's Best Friend
I have lived with and taken care of cats and dogs since I was 9. I helped train my first dog back in 2005 and grew a love for pet caretaking ever since. I helped my dog learn how to follow commands like sit and stay. I regularly walked my dog and fed her on schedule, as well as bring her to the field to run around and to the beach for a swim. I have helped care for my friends' dogs as well, including taking them on morning walks, feeding, vet visits, beach trips, and baths. I also took care of my cat when I was young and currently care for my brother's cat when he is away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow all directions provided by the owner regarding walking, feeding and whatever other services are needed. I will certainly clean up after your pet(s) on walks and make sure they have plenty of water, as well as keep them safe and to leave the house or apartment spotless.
Ratings and reviews
Matthew did a really great job with my dog and was very accommodating to him and his resource guarding. Matthew even came a day early to meet my dog and make sure everything was okay! He was very thorough sending pictures and updates and made our first river experience stress free. Thanks Matthew!
Matthew looked after my kitty Gil for more than 10 days while I was out of the country. He dropped in on Gil daily to feed him, clean his litter, and most importantly give plenty of pets. I received updates throughout my trip, knowing Gil was in good hands really helped me to enjoy my trip while it lasted. I would 100% recommend Matthew to look after your pets; he is friendly, trustworthy, and loves animals.
Matt would make an excellent dog walker for your dogs! For 3 years he walked and took care of my 2 pets (Lab and Corgi) when I was not available. He was kind and gentle with my animals, played with them, my pets adore him. He's very reliable and trustworthy. You're lucky to get him!! Jeanette Y.
