Wolf and cub

Pet care experience

I've spent the better part of my life around dogs and am currently the proud dog dad to a 1 year old Belgian Malinois. If you ask me to baby sit and walk your baby, I will do so with the type of care and attention I would want given to mine.

Mathew was great with little Lily. Communication was perfect and Lily had so much fun. I'm sure Lily looks forward to her next stay.

Matthew Shepherd is a very good friend of mine, we met while serving in the Army and I feel that, right off the bat, his service speaks loudly regarding his trustworthiness. The type of friend he is also shows that Matt is a very reliable, honest, and hard-working individual. Matt obviously loves dogs as well, the way he cares for his own dog, in conjunction with how he acts with dogs other than his own, paints a clear picture of how good of a dog caregiver he would be.

Matthew is what I like to call a “dog whisperer.” He has never not gotten along with any dog he’s encountered. He provides the upmost care, love, and patience with his own four legged friend so without a doubt he would be the best friend for your beloved fur babies as well! :)

I would find out what they like from their owners and try to do that. With mine, tug with the rope is a recurring event throughout the day.
