Retired Cop who loves pets!

Pet care experience

Have had dogs all my life, and wouldn't have had any other way. In my adult life I have had three dogs, all adopted and mutts, in the last three years. Have yet to meet a dog who didn't end up loving me, been told many times that I am a dog whisperer. Side note, my favorite thing when I was a cop was getting to pet all the dogs!

I don’t consider my dogs easy. One is petrified of new people and one dog, my Malinois, picks up on people’s vibes. The person needs to be confident and happy. My third dog just wants to play ball. When we interview we want to see our scared dog take treats from the person and we want our Mal to feel a good vibe and love the person. Matt was GREAT! Aspen was taking treats and letting him pet her! Our Mal was licking his face. But he is no pushover. I observed that he was confident that first visit to correct my Mal when he tried to go out the door with him. Highly recommend!!!

Matt watches my rescue pup twice a week and it's been a life saver. My dog Buddy absolutely loves the days I take him to Matt's home and can't wait to get out the door. I always feel safe leaving him there. I would highly recommend Matt as a pet sitter!

I am delighted to share my wholehearted recommendation for Matthew as an outstanding and compassionate pet caregiver. Having known Matthew for a considerable time, I can attest to his unwavering love and dedication to animals. Matthew is a true animal lover, and his lifelong experience with a variety of pets speaks volumes about his commitment to their well-being. From dogs to birds, turtles to lizards, snakes, small mammals, and cats. Matthew has not only owned these wonderful creatures but has gone above and beyond to ensure they receive the utmost care and affection. His genuine passion for animals is evident in the way he dotes on his pets. Matthew's caring nature extends beyond the basics of feeding and shelter. He takes the time to understand each pet's individual needs, creating a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health. In addition to his extensive personal experience, Matthew has also demonstrated responsibility and reliability when entrusted with the care of others' pets. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or providing companionship, Matthew approaches each task with a genuine sense of joy and responsibility. His profound connection with animals, coupled with his responsible nature, makes him a standout choice for anyone looking to ensure their beloved pets receive the best care possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew to anyone in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry, feathery, or scaly family members.

Matthew is probably one of the best dog people to ever exist. He is super responsible and always respectful about feeding schedules. Any doggo left in his care will be treated as his own and given the utmost care. You cannot go wrong with this guy.
