Animal Obsessed Dynamic Duo!

Pet care experience

Hello there! Our names are Matt & Amber. We are an active couple who relocated to Dallas from Memphis, TN with our Border Collie - Pepper - and Texas Heeler - Maisey. One of our favorite things about our dogs is how active they keep us! We are frequent visitors of dog parks and emBARK on many outdoor adventures. We love a good game of fetch or tag, but a snuggle session with tummy rubs is always indulged. We both have a lot of experience taking care of many breeds! Matt has lived with dogs his entire life and spent many summers dog sitting for neighbors while he was growing up. His favorite companion growing up was his family’s red Heeler, who lived to be 19 years old! Amber started out house sitting dogs and cats in her hometown of Amarillo, Texas. On her first-ever dog sitting endeavor, she cared for a one-year-old German Shepherd who had never before been away from her family. The pup was experiencing a dreadful case of separation anxiety, so Amber took a handful of blankets and slept on the floor next to her bed every night. When it comes to your furry treasures, Matt and Amber will pull out all the stops to ensure they are safe, secure, and happy!

Matt and Amber are amazing with Lucy and Luna. They both typically take a bit to warm up to people but after just one home-sitting visit, the girls decided that they're best friends for life! Aside from that, Matt & Amber are so easy to work with and so kind with their updates and sending pictures. Selfishly, I don't want anyone else to know how amazing they are so they're still free for the girls and me, but I just have to share!

Matt and Amber are awesome! From the minute that we met, we could tell they were animal people. They seemed to just “get it”. Our dog seemed at ease with them in a very short period. They treated our pup like they would treat their own. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

We have two cats and two dogs of our own, and regularly foster rescue kittens, so we can only host friendly pooches in our home. In the past we’ve been able to keep dogs with separation anxiety with us in our home office during the work day or work remotely from the home of the client.

Information Matt H. & Amber S. would like to know about your pet

We do visit off-leash dog parks, so we would like to know how your dog handles social situations and being off-leash. If you or your dog are not comfortable with this, just let us know! Of course we are happy to accommodate reasonable special requests as well. Also, if you have an anxious dog, give us a heads up on any difficult situations that should be avoided. Is your dog crate trained? Any issues with aggression? Personality traits?

A typical day

We have two highly energetic dogs, so a puppy play date is easy-peasy. We also love to take dogs to visit the dog park. Fetch, Tug-of-War, and Tag are popular games in our household. Sometimes our backyard becomes a small pop-up dog park when we have guests. There is never a dull moment at our house!
