Pet care experience

Dog lover w/ a flexible schedule!

Hey there! My name is Matt and I am 32 years old. I have graduated from Washington State University where I received my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology. While in college, I loved volunteering at the nearby Humane Society and spending time with the dogs as I missed mine back home very much. I am familiar with a variety of dog breeds, as they have been a part of my life since I was a kid. As far as my interests and hobbies, I love to stay active by participating in sports, yoga, running, hiking, anything that gets me moving. I thoroughly enjoy dog walking and/or taking them on a run depending on what your dog prefers. My schedule is very flexible. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your pet 🙂

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Typically I won't house pets at my residence, I could provide this service for short periods of time and no overnights. However, I do have a small yard that is fenced in.

Matthew did a great job taking care of our pups! He kept in touch, sent photos while we were on our trip, and the house was clean and tidy upon our return. We will certainly ask him to look after our pups in our home again 😊

Matthew took great care of our little Frenchie! It makes a huge difference for us when we travel and know that Ranger will be well loved and taken care of. It’s also wonderful to come back to a clean house just the way we left it. Thank you Matthew!

Matthew was there in a pinch. He has been a ginormous relief taking care of my BFF 💓 He has been stopping by to take care of Oscar for a few weeks now, and have no intention of looking elsewhere. Thanks bro.

Schedule

My schedule remains flexible, I usually walk anytime after 10am. If you need in home services or house/dog sitting, I can provide that as well. The only service I can't provide is overnights at my own residence, other than that I'm open to pretty much any opportunities 👍

I actually don't have a preference when it comes to dogs. I appreciate all sizes and breeds for there uniqueness and love getting to know different kinds.
