Doggy Day Care • Aug 25, 2026

Mathew took great care of my dog during the day. She got multiple walks and returned both happy and tired. Would definitely rebook.

Mathew is the best and our dog Dexter loves staying with him. Everytime he gets dropped off, Dexter is so excited to see him. Mathew keeps us informed and sends us updates. Dexter has stayed with Mathew a number of times now and we’ll definitely be using Mathew again in the future.

Mathew is a conscientious dog lover who took excellent care of Dolly for the week we were on vacation. His communication skills are first rate, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have him care for our pup again in the future.

Matthew was wonderful with my dog, and was so kind and loving. It’s so reassuring having someone taking care of your dog who enjoys them the way you do! So grateful!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be incredibly flexible with my schedule. I'm able to adapt my day around the needs of any dog, ensuring they're never left waiting for a walk, a play session, or a comforting cuddle. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or late evening, I’m always available to provide the attention and care your dog deserves. My home is their second home, and they’ll never miss out on the love and companionship they need.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet will find a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment. My apartment is set up with pet-friendly spaces, free from hazards, where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure that they have access to fresh water, cozy spots for napping, and plenty of room to move around. With a calm and secure atmosphere, your pet will receive all the love, attention, and care they need, making it a second home they can trust. Plus, my constant presence means they’re never left alone, ensuring peace of mind for both you and your furry friend.

A typical day

My day starts with happy greetings and a morning walk to burn off some energy. After the walk, it’s breakfast time, followed by fun activities like fetch, training games, or visits to the dog park for socializing. Midday includes some quiet time or a nap, and in the afternoon, we’ll have a second walk or play session before dinner. Evenings are for winding down with gentle play or cuddles, ensuring each dog feels relaxed and loved before bedtime. My goal is to keep every dog happy, healthy, and entertained while their owners are away!

As your dog sitter, there are a few things I’d love to know ahead of time to make sure your pup is as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. First, any medical needs are important—like if they have medications, allergies, or specific health concerns. It’s also helpful to know their dietary requirements, such as what food they eat, how much, and when they’re usually fed. Understanding their behavior and temperament is key. Are they social or more reserved? Do they have any fears, anxieties, or triggers I should be aware of? Knowing their daily routine is also important—like their usual walk times, play preferences, and any specific rituals they have. It’s also good to know the basic commands they respond to, how much exercise they need, and what toys, treats, or activities they love the most. And, of course, having emergency contacts, including your vet’s info, is always a priority. The more I know, the better I can make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
