Pet care experience

Comfort & Quality Time!

You and your pet can still enjoy life while you are away! Give your dog a comfortable and safe environment while you can't be with them and enjoy your time while you miss them. Individualized care for your dog's needs and interests! West Seattle retreat with a yard and dog friendly environment. I want to make your dogs smile as much as I can while you are away. Matt About this sitter: Hi I'm Matt B. As someone that loves to travel, I understand the mixed feelings when it comes to leaving your dog behind. I've been taking care of dogs my whole life and know how to make them feel comfortable when they're missing their owners. Lots of exercise, positive reinforcement and lots of places to lay around. I can take care of all kinds of dogs and their different conditions. And while you're away I'll send you plenty of photos of your best buddy! Why I love dog sitting I was born a dog lover. You couldn't stop me from petting or playing with any dog in sight! Life without dogs would be so different. Meet my pets I have a gentle giant named Thurston. He loves all dogs big and small and always finds a way to be friends no matter their personality or disability. Thurston is a 1 year old Irish Wolfhound Goofball. About my yard I have a fenced yard that is strong but temporary while I build my final fence. I am always out there with the dogs and have had Great Danes and escape artists with no problems. It's a fun yard and will be getting better. My experience administering medication I can administer most medications and watch your injured dogs to.

Matt did a fantastic job watching Atlas for a week. He communicated daily, was super responsive, and sent tons of picture and video updates (nearly 200 throughout the week!). He asked great questions to make sure Atlas had everything he needed. Highly recommend Matt for anyone looking for a responsible and highly communicative sitter!

Matt took very good care of our dog Midge. He sent lots of pictures and videos, and Midge really liked her stay. I highly recommend him.

I wasn't sure how my pup would do in a group boarding situation, but Matt walked me through the house and let me introduce my dogs to the others, and it was clear that he is a pro when it comes to this. He sent me many photos and videos over the period I was away. It was fun to see my dog having a good time at her doggie sleepaway camp and I felt reassured that Matt was taking good care of her. Thank you, Matt!

We were visiting Seattle from out of town and needed someone to care for our dog, Daisy, while we were on an Alaska cruise. We couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy in his care. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We received updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, especially when you’re traveling far from home. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to book with him again if we’re ever back in the area. Thank you for taking such great care of Daisy!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a great walking area in W. Seattle. California street is fun and there is a Farmer's Market every Sunday. We'll be in a safe residential community with squirrels and birds in the backyard. Alki and the waterfront are other fun locations to sniff around! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep on a bed on the floor, in a crate if you want or possibly on my bed if they want, ha! Time I'll spend with your dog I will be home most if not all of the day.
