Pet care experience

Looking to making canine friends!

I grew up having an energetic beagle so I’m used to matching a dog’s high energy level. I now usually dog/housesit for family friends and volunteer to walk the dogs from Doggiestyles pet store.

Safety, trust & environment

I usually follow the requests of the client and will check in the dogs every now and then to make sure they’re okay. I would check to make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to, but also keep them entertained if they seem bored

Matthew stepped in for a last minute assist with my Husky. He did a great job and communicated clearly. I'm grateful for his agility and care.

To Whom It May Concern, I am delighted to write this reference for Matthew, who has been the most exceptional dog caretaker I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Matthew's dedication, expertise, and love for dogs are truly remarkable. Matthew has been taking care of my beloved dogs - penny star and boo boo , for the past two years, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of care and attention he provides. He is not merely a caretaker but a true dog lover who treats my dogs as if he were his own. Matthew consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs well-being and happiness. His reliability is impeccable. Matthew has never missed a scheduled visit, and he is always punctual. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or overnight stays, I can always count on him to be there. Furthermore, Matthew's knowledge of dog behavior and training is impressive. He has helped my dogs overcome some behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement techniques. His ability to understand and communicate with dogs is truly remarkable. What sets Matthew apart is his genuine love for animals. It's evident in the way he interacts with my dogs and other dogs he cares for. He provides a safe and loving environment that makes dogs feel at ease and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew as a dog caretaker. He is trustworthy, skilled, and most importantly, he cares deeply for the well-being of the dogs under his watch. I can't imagine a better person to entrust with the care of your furry family member. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Aaron
