About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a strong love for all things animals. I love taking care of all types of pets and have a beloved pet of my own, my now 13 year old dog known as Oreo! Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to ensure their pets are happy and healthy when they are away. I have always succeeded in that and will do some occasional training (not certified) with dogs while keeping them company. I currently work full time, but can be available before and after work for your pets! I can make your pet my priority while you’re away! I will be devoted to take care of your pet in the way that you instruct me to. If there are any special things that you need me to do to keep your pet more comfortable or happy while you’re away, I am more than happy to do so. I will always take your vet contact information in the event of any emergency so we can all have peace of mind.
“Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”


About: I’ve watched my own pets, a dog and multiple cats, since I was 10. I am always up for playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and brushing out long coats (I have a husky mix… So much fur!). I also have a special trick for administering pills (cheese cubes are my secret weapon). I am most comfortable around small- and medium-sized dogs and any size cat. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and cats as well as animals with anxiety (scared of thunderstorms, need medication, etc.). I would love to help your furry friend be as comfortable and carefree as possible. Seniors need some extra love and attention that I am overjoyed to give! I’m currently taking summer college classes, but I am available to drop in on your furry friend any time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am available on Saturdays and Sundays as well. At home, I have lots of experience handling escape artists (3 cats, 1 small dog), so I know all the tips and tricks to keep your fur baby safely inside. I can crate your dog if needed, but I love developing routines that are predictable and cause the least amount of stress for your furry friend. I want your pet to feel free to be themselves around me while accepting all the love, treats, and walks I can give.

“I am so grateful for Reese stepping in after our previous dog walker left unexpectedly. Reese is sweet, attentive, and made the transition completely seamless. Jameson took to her right away and is already looking forward to many more walks with Reese. Highly recommend!”

Reese was fantastic and we are so happy that she was able to help take care of our dog MooMoo last week when we were away.
