Dog Adventures and Sleep Overs!

Pet care experience

Hello, I grew up with dogs in my house and have been part of raising many puppies into calm, attentive, and polite members of our communities. Giving dogs the best life possible is a passion of mine. A note about my rates: In addition to the fees Rover charges you to book with me, they take 20% of my rate. Additionally, I am liable for any damages your pet does to my property, guests, or other animals. Unfortunately, Rover doesn’t offer protection for the sitters and the risk I take is immense. I offer a premium service and charge accordingly, you and your dog will get what you pay for.

Matt was absolutely fantastic to simply put it. Matt was able to help me out in a pinch, he is incredibly knowledgeable, and confident in caring for dogs. Matt communicated every step of the way and never once did I feel uneasy or question how my dog was doing! He sent frequent updates with pictures of his dog and mine playing outside and napping off their adventures. My dog Oliver ended up getting a hotspot almost immediately before Matt was supposed to care for him and there wasn't a moment I felt concerned with his care and Oliver had an amazing time! Matt took the time to ask about treatment and how I wanted him to be cared for. Matt adapted to any form of communication I needed and I have never had an easier time working with someone. I genuinely appreciated Matt wanting to meet my dog first and get all the information before blindly accepting a boarding request which I think every person should do no matter how "friendly" we think our K-9 friend are. Thank you, Matt for taking such good care of Oliver and I cannot recommend you enough to anyone looking for boarding and believe that any dog would benefit greatly from you! Thank you again and again :)

The only place I can honestly say that I can drop my dog off and feel 100% confident that she is going to have a great time and be well taken care of!

Matt did an excellent job house sitting my elderly dog and two cats for a week while we traveled. My dog requires daily oral medication which Matt did a good job of managing. Matt left the house in great shape and was considerate professional and helpful in all communications. I would definitely recommend Matt!

We highly recommend Matt to take care of your fur baby whether it's for the day or overnight. He sent us numerous pictures and texts during our dog's 2 night stay. We have total confidence in Matt and can tell dogs are his number one priority.
