Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet, it helps to know things such as their likes and dislikes, routines any meds, corks, or if they’re shy or super social it will all help me cater to their needs

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love keeping them engaged with fun activities such as walks, fetch, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy exploring your pets’s favorite parks, walking path or just relaxing together based on their energy level.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Matthew I am available Every day. I have grown up with animals my whole life! I currently have multiple dogs of all sizes from as small as a poodle to an American bulldog boxer mix. I’ll happily take your dog/dogs on walks to there favorite parks or new places you’d like them to see, also play fetch with them! Reward them with belly rubs, or treats if you allow that! I know no dog is the same since they have there own little personality’s so I’ll never treat any of them the same way. What I would like to know about your dog? - Does your dog have behavioral issues? - Is your dog friendly with other dogs or will I have to keep him or her on a short leash when passing a group of other animals? - Specific diet? - Allergies to anything? I just asked for this information to make the time I spend with your best friend more happy and memorable for them. I am comfortable working with older dogs, aggressive dogs, even puppies are no issue if your dog needs a little bit more attention getting trained I’ll be able to help them with basic commands if you’d like! I believe communication is key to successful relationship so I would happily give you notifications on whatever we are doing at that time also the progress we have made with our time together.

Matthew was great! He was on time and my dog was happy when she got back from their walk. I’d have him come back any time.
