Pet care experience

Lifetime dog lover - fenced yard

I have had dogs my entire life, some are super chill, some might be "reactive". I personally dislike that term as during a meet and greet we can discuss what makes them reactive. I offer a truly 1:1 level of care, 1 pup or 2 if they are from the same household. But, I have to warn you , your dog is going to be crazy spoiled . Yep, it's going to be a bit more expensive. But can you really put a price on 24/7 piece of mind? Minimum of 3 days is perfect. Best regards I have been lucky enough to have owned and cared for medium to large sized dogs, from Labs to boxers to bull mastiffs. I live alone with a fully fenced yard ready for your dog to enjoy. I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting and boarding. I live close to Tanner Park, Canyon Rim, Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Millcreek Canyon giving me great exercise options when needed. My most recent pup, Gus (American Bulldog) just passed so I look forward to taking care of your dogs needs and treating them like my own. So thank you to all the awesome pet parents that have booked with me, and look forward to watching your incredible dogs. And please just be honest, if your pup has certain tendencies, it makes it so much easier if I know. Best regards

Matt was great! His attention was truly 100% on our dog while we were out of town for 3 nights. We received regular updates. Matt really cares about dogs and we look forward to booking with him again!

Leaving your dog with someone new is always a little scary, but Matt was awesome! He took great care of my dog, loved her, and even helped her through multiple storms while I was away. It was a great vacation for her. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos and videos too. I can’t recommend Matt enough!!

You can tell that Matt genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after and he was very attentive to our dog during her stay. He was great about sending frequent updates which we really appreciated. He even allowed her to leave with a toy that she had decided was her favorite. Thanks again, Matt!

Matt was outstanding with our young, energetic retriever. It was clear from the beginning that Matt genuinely cared about our dog and wanted the best for him. It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and we were worried about finding the right person. Matt put all our worries at ease and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our pup. 100% recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and live close to various parks and trails. Also happy to walk dogs on their favorite routes near home. There are plenty of great Rover sitters that have more reviews then I do. That's because they multi book, if you book 3 dogs, yes your going to get more reviews. Yet, I don't take that approach, 1 or possibly 2, if i have watched them before time allows me to to provide maximum time with your pups.

A typical day

My daily routine is based upon your dog, if they have a schedule, a set diet, or like to go for walks I'm here to make sure they are happy and safe.

I'd love any medium to XL dogs, I definitely prefer larger dogs that some people might shy away from. I've been fortunate enough to have them since I was a little kid.
