Professional Pet Sitter Downtown!

Pet care experience

I am a certified professional dog trainer in the downtown area. I work from home so your pup will have full-time fun! We have one dog, Lorelei a Frenchie, and Bynx, a domestic short hair cat. Your dog will make our home their home while you are away. We have a large, top floor apartment with lots of light and an elevator for those not so good with stairs. You will be at ease on vacation or while working when you leave your pooch with us, we love taking care of dogs! I will keep in communication with you while you are away to let you know how your pooch is enjoying his/her stay. I send at least one update per day because I know it can be tough to leave your best friend at home. Feel free to message me and ask questions. We can schedule a meet and greet at a nearby dog park to get acquainted. I am flexible with pick up and drop off times and want to make your dog's transition easy and your trip planning (at least when it comes to dog sitting) stress free. About this sitter: Matt Miller is the owner of Wet Nose Pet Care, based in Downtown San Francisco. He has been a professional dog trainer for more than 10 years, is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and is a certified dog trainer with the Animal Behavior College, where he also mentors new dog trainers. Matt is fully insured and bonded and is certified in Animal First Aid/CPR with the American Red Cross. Matt began his career by opening his own dog walking business in New York City in 2008 inspired by his passion for animals. He was invited by Kate Perry of Kate Perry Dog Training to be an assistant trainer and studied regularly with her on more advanced cases. The philosophy and methodology used, centers around positive reinforcement and a scientifically proven teaching method derived from dolphin training that uses a marker signal to reinforce a desired behavior. This method helps dogs learn faster and better enables both dog and owner to enjoy the training experience. Matt is the proud owner of two pets himself; a 4 year old French Bulldog named Lorelei and an 15 year old domestic short haired cat named Bynx. He has also owned, fish, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and butterflies! Matt's knowledge of pets spans his entire lifetime and he puts his experience to work caring for your pets every day. Matt grew up in Ohio where he and his father were avid sportsmen and trained many of their own working dogs. He also continues to study new training methodologies through workshops and seminars and is trained in Veterinary Assistant duties. Matt is a supporter of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States. Why I love dog sitting I am a life long dog lover having had many dogs in my lifetime. I started professionally pet sitting about 5 years ago but often pet sit for relatives growing up. Meet my pets We have a 15 year old cat named Bynx who is very dog friendly and enjoys napping most of the day. My experience administering medication Yes, I have experience administering many different kinds of medication including injections.

Matt is beyond great! He watches our lil chihuahua, Alice, whenever we are gone. Alice loves him and always is excited to see him. She seems to be a much happier pup when we return than she has in the past. Thanks Matt!!!

Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep where it is most comfortable, on the couch, on the rug under the ceiling fan or on his/her own bed if they bring it. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible. I may need to run out to get food or run an errand but if the pooches can go with me, I usually take them.
