Pet care experience

Animal lover, dog whisperer, cuddle

I worked as a vet tech assistant for two years, and have taken care of a multitude of animals, from turtles, to birds, big dogs to baby cats, and almost everything in between. I have also taken my own dogs to training classes and have one certified as an emotional support animal. I have personally had dogs my whole life (cocker spaniels and a German Shepard), and at one point in my life, I lived with the head of the K-9 unit of the flint police department and got to experience how they teach and train their dogs too. while my current dog is staying at my parents, I am looking forward to welcoming new animals into my home to help fill the void for the time being. I am a very kind, caring, and loving person who sometimes relates more to animals than fellow humans :p

Matthew has shown so much care for both our cute Lilo and ourselves. He took the time and effort to bond with Lilo, along with his lovely daughter, and left Lilo and us with the clear feeling that Lilo is in the best possible hands. Thank you Matthew!

House Sitting • Jun 26, 2025

Matthhew met with us and our furry babies before the actual job started. He stayed at myhome with my dog Diana and my small haired cat Ahi Tuna. He did an excellent job! He drove my dog to the local dog park every day twice and my diabetic cat had very much well cared for almost seven days. We really appreciated regular pictures and updated status. We are extremely happy with his service and will definitely choose him again. Thank you, Matthew, for taking good care of Diana and Ahi and our house.

Matthew is one of the most caring animal lover I know. He has had experience working for a veterinarian in the past and has had numerous dogs of his own. He is gentle and patient and most of all responsible. I have two dogs of my own and I would not hesitate to have Matthew care for them. I tease that he is the pet whisperer.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owner, I have gates in my house to keep animals and children out of certain areas, will set up a dedicated food and drink area for the animals. We allow dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed at my house, and will abide by whatever the owner asks of us if we are staying at their home. I may sure to take them outside once every 1-2 hours, as well as a walk twice a day at minimum, and/or a trip to the park or dog park if allowed. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, but still take dogs out to the bathroom on leash. We can also create a dedicated kitty litter spot as well.
