Dog lover looking to fill his time!

Pet care experience

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.
