Pet care experience

Dog lover looking to fill his time!

Over the years I have dog sat, walked dogs for people with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes. I have always taken pride in my care for my dogs and of course others as well. I currently don’t have a dog of my own as I am new to Bellingham, but I have a lot of experience with senior dogs as my first dog a 100lb malamute lived to be 16. I love big dogs, high energy dogs, small dogs. I am confident in my ability to handle all breeds energy and size!

Matthew is one of the most responsible, trustworthy, and caring people I know. He genuinely loves animals and treats every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. When I would leave town and give my doggo to Matt, I knew he was going to get more exercise and playtime than I could ever do myself! I appreciate knowing he’d be safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention! I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a dependable and engaging pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet friendly condo with a large grassed dog friendly area and walking path behind the property. We have a fenced in balcony porch that the dog would have access to. Dogs would be allowed on furniture and bed. Care in clients home as well as mine will be followed as instructed to the T of owners request! Following precise owner instructions is vital when caring for others dogs.

A typical day

I love to walk and play with dogs. Each dog is different whether that is playing with the stick, ball, swimming at the beach or playing with their favorite toy. Some dogs are just happy to get outside and have a sniff! I will adhere to the dogs needs
