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.

Matt is the best! Freckles is well cared for each time he has been there and it’s obvious that Matt is super attentive and mindful. We get so many pictures and videos. We can tell Freckles really loves and trusts Matt which is reassuring for any owner to see. Freckles can’t wait for his next stay!!

Matt was a very wonderful dog sitter. We needed doggy daycare while on vacation, and Matt was able to accommodate us and enjoyed having sick and sick. Enjoyed his day at Matts. He was very convenient to where we are staying and we will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, Matt.

Elvis had a great time with Matt over a long holiday weekend trip - I got plenty of photos and videos of him hanging out with other pups and getting as many rubs as possible. Thanks for taking such great care of Elvis while I was away and for the updates - it was a relief to know he was having a blast!

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!
