Experienced pet lover

Pet care experience

I've lived with animals nearly my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love animals, and frequently walk my friends' and family's dogs. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks and giving them plenty of exercise, with a healthy balance of R&R (and lots of petting, of course!)

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that dogs in my care are always comfortable, both physically and emotionally. In addition to food/water and walks, that also means lots of petting and occasional treats. I also like to leave the radio on, something we did in my household growing up to help with separation anxiety.

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog get along with other animals? How does your dog behave on a leash? Does your dog require any medication? If so, how often?

A typical day

I like taking dogs on runs/jogs/walks along Lake Champlain. We often stop in one of the dog runs to play tug of war or fetch.

I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm an early riser and I'm happy to take your dog on a sunrise walk.
