Active dog sitter/walker in MPLS!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Matt, I'm 29 and live in the East Lake Harriet area with my girlfriend and my pup Bella. I am located 3 blocks away Lake Harriet and Lyndale Farmstead dog park, available for evening dog walks and a full 2BR condo to host them overnight. I've fostered many dogs through Safe Hands Rescue (photos below) and have experience with all types of dogs, from puppies to older dogs, and am very compassionate towards animals and understand they all have different needs. I know it is stressful knowing your dog may need more attention than it's able to get with your busy schedule, and I'm here to help out! I have grown up with golden's and wheaten terriers all my life and have never met a dog I haven't gotten along with. I am very active and am willing to give your dog as much exercise as it may need, whether it's the occasional walk or a run around the lake. I am currently working from home full time, so I will be available for your dog all day. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Matthew was great! Our dog Lola is 10 and had a surgery not long before our vacation. Matthew did a great job following directions about her care and exercise etc. He sent us videos and pictures every day we were gone. It really helped as we almost canceled as we were too worried to leave her. His great communication and attention to Lola were much appreciated. We could tell Lola had a lot of fun staying with Matthew and we will definitely use him again. Our flight even got home very late and Mattew waited up for us to pick her up. He is terrific. Highly recommend!

Matthew was amazing with our dog, Gauge. He sent frequent updates and pictures. Gauge had his own mini vacation. I would highly recommend Matthew and will definitely be using him as our dog sitter again in the near future.

Matt did a fantastic job with our dog Benny. He has a wonderful, caring, gentle way with him and our dog felt comfortable immediately. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!

Matthew is a wonderful dog sitter and has taken care of my dog on many occasions. He has a natural affinity towards dogs and animals, in general. He is kind, caring and responsible. His gentle nature with animals make him a magnet around pets. My dog is crazy about him. I would highly recommend Matthew as an excellent dog sitter!
