Animal shelter-trained dog walker
Pet care experience
I have spent the past two years walking dogs 3 days/week at a local animal shelter, so I am comfortable will dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and of any breed or size. Because of this unique training and experience, I can provide your dog with a safe and FUN walk. I understand that each animal is a unique member of your family with his or her own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know each dog. Dog walking is more than just an opportunity to exercise your pup - it's a meaningful, social interaction for both of us! I have been around dogs and cats since I was a child. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Toy Poodle and love taking them on walks around our neighborhood and to play at our local dog park. I also grew up with two playful cats. Since I can't have any pets of my own right now, I look for any excuse to walk other people's dogs or hang out with their cats!
Reviews
Awesome dog walker! Mattie's experience working at an animal shelter really makes her in-tune with what dogs want and need. Highly recommend Mattie to anyone.
Our dogs love Mattie! She really takes the time to get to know what they like/don't like. It's really comforting to know that when Mattie walks our dogs, she is loving them and caring for them just like I would if I was home. She's punctual, respectful, and trustworthy. Really glad to have her walk the dogs.
Mattie is a thoughtful dog walker who takes the time to understand each dog’s needs and makes sure that each walk is fun and engaging for the dogs. She understands dog behavior really well and the dogs love her.

Information Mattie K. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies, food/treat sensitivities. On a walk, is your dog reactive to other dogs? If so, no problem! Many of the dogs I've walked at the shelter need to steer clear of meeting other dogs and that's totally cool. Does your dog have any favorite spots to walk and smell and play? Does he or she require lots of exercise or prefer to take it slow?
