Helping dogs stay happy & healthy

Pet care experience

I've had family dogs as long as I can remember. I've walked dogs professionally for companies in both Chelsea NYC and Boston's South End, where I quickly learned my skillsets and and mastered industry standards. I have an 8 year old pit-bull, Smokey, who I rescued from the MSPCA. I know how much care and work goes into dogs, both on a personal and professional level. If I have availability, I'm willing to meet your dog and see if we are a good match. I do not currently offer boarding services. However, if you need drop-in visits, I have no problem adhering to your personal in-house needs.

We just moved to the area and was recommended to contact Matt for our dog from friends. He came by to meet us and our dog first, which we really appreciated! We also loved the update on the first walk with photos and details. Will continue to use Matt!

Information matt d. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what level of training your dog has received. If there are any triggers that cause reactivity issues, please detail. Also, detail any food or environmental allergies or other health concerns.

A typical day

My favorite activities with dogs is a long hike, fetch, and a good game of tug. All dogs love a good scent walk where they can use their nose to explore the world and I pay strict attention to make sure they dont get into anything unwanted. Food motivated dogs love to work for treats and I enjoy seeing how much they can learn in even one session. Belly rubs and back scratches are complimentary, of course!
