Pet care experience

Dog whisperer that loves all pups

I grew up with cats and now have 2 dogs of my own. We have 2 dogs, Bean is a lab mix and Ruby is a german/aussie shepherd mix. Have tons odd experience with all dogs of all temperaments. Even had some clients call me a dog whisperer. I would love to help take your dog or cat when you can't. I am free through out the morning, midday and into the evening if needed for a walk or feeding. We just moved here and am very flexible with my other job. I have a vehicle and am able to get around easily. Let me know what you need! I am currently taking 1 dog at at time for boarding if I am in town. Please check my schedule before requesting. Your pup must get along with other dogs. My 2 dogs are very dog friendly and love to play, especially Bean. We have a yard and I do enjoy taking them to the dog park (if you want that to happen). Someone is usually home but if we go out the dog must be okay being home or crated.

Matthew is absolutely great! He is incredibly reliable, punctual, and always sends the best updates and photos. Our dog looks forward to every single walk, and we love having total peace of mind while we are at work. Highly recommend!
