I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know anything worth knowing about your dog’s behavior and tendencies that can better help me be a better dog sitter! Any details whether small or big would be greatly appreciated!

A typical day

Play tug a war with their toys, go for walks, play fetch, and lots of head rubs! Plus any activities the dog owners share with me!

Pets

Dog loving caretaker!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that!
