In my care, pets get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I can also help reinforce training, stick to feeding routines, and keep them active and happy while you’re away.

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or training that you would like me to know. Please also let me know your dog’s temperament level and if they get along with other dogs.

A typical day

When I’m with dogs, I love keeping them active and happy in different ways. We’ll go on walks and adventures, whether that’s a neighborhood stroll, a trail, or a safe park to get their energy out. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war to keep them engaged and having fun, and I can even mix in some training games to reinforce sit, stay, paw, recall, or fun tricks for great mental exercise. If the dog enjoys it and the owner is comfortable, I also like to add a little water fun

Loving Dog Parent, Reliable Care

Pet care experience

I’m a dedicated dog owner myself. I understand the daily care, patience, and love that pets need because I live it every day with my own pup. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, puppies who are still learning, and senior dogs that require a little extra attention and gentle care. I know how important structure and consistency are, so I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, training reinforcement, or giving meds, I treat every dog like my own.

Matthew has watched our families' pets for the last 6 years since we have been neighbors. He has been fantastic in making sure the dogs and cats are well fed, have plenty of exercise, and are clean. He has a couple of his own dogs that our pets get along really well with. His experience as a pet owner is the original reason we wanted to have him watch our animals when we travel or when we need someone during the day. We fully endorse Matthew and are open to any further questions regarding him. All the best, Samuel Millmier
