Patience is a dogs best friend.

Pet care experience

For the better part of 2016, I worked at a dog daycare startup. Since 2013, my wife and I have been raising our best friend Midas. Combining a process of conducting my own first hand research with the dogs at the facility and work with my own pupper at home, I have developed a program based around trust, empathy, compassion and patience that I believe creates an ideal environment for a dog to spend it's time when they can't be with you. I would love nothing more than for your fluffy family member(s) to come be a part of my own for a while. I will be as honest and up front as I can be about your pup so that the end result is an optimally happy dog.

Absolutely wonderful. Mathew was patient with my big but cautious German Shepherd puppy. Would love to have him work with Kaiser again!

Mathew is awesome! He always submits thoughtful notes each time he walks our pups and makes sure we are aware of any issues!

Information Mathew S. would like to know about your pet

What I need to know from you is what is essentially your dog's resume. What is their history with other dogs? How do they behave around rowdy groups of dogs? What is their life at home like? and things along that nature. This will allow me to compile a plan for your dog to have the most comfortable stay in a new environment. I have the advantage of having never met your dog before and them never having been to my house. This is a key stage where I can teach them the rules of the house and they can pick them up quickly and hurry up and get to the fun stuff. Vet information is something critical that I need, as well. The easiest way to take care of all of this would be to schedule a meet and greet before agreeing to anything. I want to do the most I can to take on any dog and the best way I can do that is by meeting as many pups as possible and making sure my home is a good fit for them first.

A typical day

I am all about a proper outlet for a dogs energy. A dog who knows how to control its energy is a dog who is having the most fun. Through a series of fun games and mental exercises, your dog will receive the most mental and physical stimulation it demands. My dog Midas is a very eager learner and always looking for a new friend to spend time with and pick up or pass on some good habits.
