Information Matt B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know their personality in general as well as likes and dislikes. Also, can he/she eat have treats near other dogs?

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.

Comfort & Quality Time!

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Bluey had a blast as always! Matt is such a great sitter and takes the extra time to make sure my baby gets the love she needs! He is very communicative and sends a ton of pictures and videos. :)

we had a fantastic first rover experience with matt. he is a dog person and very kind, communicative, and flexible. we appreciated the frequency of photo/video updates during our pet’s stay (exceeded our expectations). we felt very safe leaving our dog here and had peace of mind while away. we would absolutely use matt again in the future.

Clio always enjoys her time with Matt and his pups! I know she’s taken care of and he is great with communication and photos/videos throughout the stay. It really takes the stress out of travel to know she’s in good hands.
