I’m a 5th grade teacher taking a year off to help my parents. I’m home every day and can give lots of attention to your dog! My parents are here too, and they are big dog lovers with decades of experience. I can offer exercise and potty breaks whenever needed. I’ve loved my time working through Rover in the past and I’d really enjoy having some furry friends to hang out with!

Information Matt L. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog is good with other dogs. This is especially important with larger dogs, and how they get along with a smaller dog. Hunting instincts have proven to be a detriment. Being housebroken is important, but accidents happen, and are very understandable! Please let me know if they have any other problems or medical issues.

A typical day

I like to play with dog toys in the backyard with the dogs that come over. We walk all over the neighborhood too. Dogs have tons of space to make their own!

Matt was great with our dog! He gave us updates and had great communication. Our dog came home happy and tired from all the playing/attention. We will definitely book with Matt again.
