Information Matthew & Shannon F. would like to know about your pet

Been through a wide variety of doggy illnesses and injuries and happy to follow any instructions and specialized care your dog might require, just let me know!

A typical day

We will go on frequent walks and trips outside, including hikes in the area and trips to the dog park (if acceptable). My own dog is extremely well socialized and would appreciate the extra companion, although he is not too excitable and knows how to give space to dogs who need it.

Pets

Bonded to every dog I’ve ever met

Pet care experience

Born into a family of dog lovers, some of my earliest memories are daily walks with my grandfather’s dog. I grew up with a black lab, a chihuahua, a shi-tzu mix, and a golden retriever, and now own a 12yo cattle dog-mix, socialized with humans and dogs, and extremely well-behaved and taken care of. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t immediately bond with and have watched the pets of family members, neighbors, and co-workers dozens of times over the years.

I grew up with a dog and always knew the basics of keeping them alive and happy, but Matt has taught me so much more about reading a dog in their environment and really helping them thrive. He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their temperaments. Dogs have always gravitated to him and he loves them so much. The true definition of an animal lover.
