Long arms for long hugs!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my god mother’s elderly dog when I was much younger. It wasn’t even remotely hard to simply feed the dog and give it attention. I really liked taking care of her dog while she was away.

Matthew has a very outgoing personality and you can tell he’s a loving young man. He was great with my Maltese before he passed and I’m so glad that Matthew got to appreciate what a wonderful dog he was. I’m grateful for the responsibilities Matthew took on and executed so effortlessly. I just know whoever he goes on to work with will be happy they chose him as well.

Safety, trust & environment

My experience of taking care of my god mother’s elderly dog was simply keeping watch of him. We would sit down and watch tv. Sometimes he would want to play fetch despite how old he was, so I would just throw the ball lightly and he would zoom to get it. It was really fun to play with him.

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

Only thing that needs to be known about the dog is their temperament and what they need to ensure that they are given the best of care.

A typical day

Since I live close by to a park, I can easily walk them there and play fetch with them or jog with them. There are also water fountains there if they want to get a little wet, as well as drinking fountains if they need a bit of hydrating.

Availability

I’m a college student and I have classes Mon-Wed and Friday. So relatively I can take care of pets Mon, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I would advise pet owners to inquire about the days with me as things might come up, such as me needing to complete assignments or other unknown variables.
