A heart & mind for any size dog

Pet care experience

I grew up with 2 Huskies. Thank God for that. I used to love running in my neighborhood with them. We'd usually be outside. I sang lullabies and pet them gently each night before bed. I wasn't just an owner, they really were my best friend. I am the kind of person that has dogs jump all over me, which I love. I'd like to use my natural gifts; and feel like I matter more as an active productive member of today's society. It's not that I love dogs as much as I know dogs love me. So I really need to use that to my advantage in this world. I'd be honored to serve you. Some might even say, "I am the pick of the litter."

Matt was really wonderful when watching my dog and cat. Received pictures and daily updates of my fur babies. Very pleased with his caring attitude and strong communication, will definitely use him again!

Smooth drop off and pick up. Pup seemed to enjoy the stay. Would highly consider care again.

I’m not someone who typically leaves reviews, but I felt compelled to do so in this case. Simply put: I would not trust Matt with my dog again. He did not follow explicit verbal instructions, emphasized and given multiple times, to walk our dog with his harness since we keep him in a breakaway collar. I received a vague text hours after an incident where our dog almost got away and the collar was broken. When I called to figure out what happened he was unprofessional, combative, and questioned decisions that we’ve made in the care of our dog. He complained about behaviors we were 100% up front about (jumping and one year old hound energy) after insisting he was used to it and could handle it. He also complained of our dog “acting differently” than when we met for a 15 minute meet and greet on leash in a parking lot, and that’s why he was having such a hard time. While on vacation half way across the country, we ended up having to coordinate with friends back home to leave their own dog with family and pick our dog up for us early because we did not feel comfortable with him staying in Matt’s care any longer. Not surprisingly, our dog was magically perfect as soon as he was in our friends’ care. Our dogs are our babies and I don’t want someone else to feel the frustration and uneasiness we did while leaving our dog in this man’s care.

Definitely 5 star recommendation! I have a sweet Bernie Doodle that would have been miserable in a first time experience being boarded while we were out of town. She was in heaven with the undivided attention she got from Matt B., The whole experience was seamless. We would definitely use him again she came home very happy. Also, thank goodness for being recommended the Rover App- saved the day.
