Work-from-home Dog Dad

Pet care experience

Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. My girlfriend and I are both dog lovers, and have an 11-month-old Basset Hound named Edgar that would love to have other dogs to walk or spend the weekend with. He is very friendly, loves all types of other dogs, and has lots of good toys and treats to share. As we've just gone through it, we are very experienced with the extra attention puppies need, but we are happy to host dogs of all ages. We have a fenced-in back yard, and I'm here during the day to monitor play time and to give ample potty breaks. I currently work from home and am available for any of your dog-sitting, walking, and playing needs. All sizes welcome!

Sully had a great time at Matt's. He loved playing with Edgar and visiting the dog park. It was really helpful that Matt and Alina have a puppy of their own and were able to give Sully the attention he needs at his age (4 months). Matt was very flexible with timing for pick up and drop off and let me come visit before dropping off Sully so that I could be sure Sully would get along with their pup. Again -- awesome experience -- thanks!

Matt responded on short notice, was very communicative, and helpful. I got lots of updates and pictures and my puppy had a great time! I will definitely be using him again.

Huge thank you to Matt for taking care of our dog, Bailey, for 3 days while we were at work. Matt sent photos of Bailey and his dog Edgar each day which gave us peace of mind and a good smile. Bailey was very excited to walk over there every morning, and tired coming home every night. We will definitely re-book!

Matt exceeded all expectations! He was responsive, attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to provide updates and be flexible. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for dog walking or dog sitting help and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Information Mathew B. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along well with other dogs? Are there any training exercises I should be practicing? Does he/she have any dietary or medical needs?

A typical day

I live a few blocks from a great dog park and know lots of good walking routes through Southie. Your dog and I can go on walks of any length, play with their favorite toys, and have lots of great conversations, even in public.
