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.

Our dog loves to go to Matt's House. She comes back happy and exhausted from playing with all the new friends she makes there. And we get photos and videos every day, so we know Midge is happy and having almost as much fun as we are.

Another great stay with Matt! Elvis was outside a lot and enjoyed all the company it seemed, he’s very tired now. Thanks again for watching him and all the updates!

Matt was amazing with Adrian for over a week. You can tell he knows what he’s doing, and his house is basically a dog’s heaven. I loved the frequent updates, tons of photos and videos included, so I never had to worry. Best part: Matt hosts other dogs too, so Adrian was busy and social the whole time, way better than being left home alone. Highly recommend!

Left my dog with Matt for a few nights while I traveled, and Zeus had a blast. Matt sent tons of photos and videos of Zeus which helped a lot with my anxiety of leaving my boy behind. He updated me daily on how Zeus was doing and getting along with the other dogs. I will definitely be booking with Matt again in the future. 😊

Matt did a great job with my dog on an overnight stay! He sent lots of pictures, videos, and was prompt about communication regarding dropoff and pickup. Would definitely trust him to watch my pups anytime we go out of town from now on. Thanks, Matt!

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.

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?
