Pet care experience

Gymrat who loves dogs!

I know how much you love your furry friends because I have a few of my own. I've taken care of many breeds but my big guy is a black Lab, Shadow. I took care of his father and mother until they passed, and I've had the opportunity to bring Shadow up since birth. He is my best friend! We love going for walks to explore and racing each other to the park, he also really loves fetch. I can handle the big energy these guys bring no matter their size and I have the patience to take care of them the way they need to be. they deserve it!

Matthew did a wonderful job with my kitties. It’s a relief to know they are being taken care of every day. He is very kind and courteous and I felt very comfortable having him come into my house with my animals!

Matthew agreed to 3 visits a day for my pets while I had and recovered from knee surgery. During our meet and greet, I knew I had someone that I could entrust my babies. Matthew showed up promptly for all visits. He sent pictures of all the pets. My dog started to get depressed and he let me know immediately. We worked through that issue together. I was very fortunate to find a trustworthy person that I could rely on during a difficult time of recovery ❤️‍🩹 I highly recommend Matthew!!
