Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover with spacious backyard
I’ve been caring for animals since grammar school and have always had a deep appreciation for the role pets play in a family. Over the years I’ve lived in multi-pet households — at one point sharing a home with three dogs and four cats — and I’ve personally had three cats of my own. Our family Doberman passed a few years ago, and while we currently don’t have pets of our own, that has opened the door for us to provide a loving space for yours. For the past two years, I’ve proudly been a Rover sitter and have maintained a 5-star rating by treating every pet like part of the family. Our home offers a calm, family-style environment where dogs are included in daily life — not isolated or treated like they’re in a facility. Because of this, we focus on caring for well-behaved dogs who are comfortable in a home setting and respectful of their surroundings. Dogs that require constant separation due to behavioral issues are often better suited for kennel-style care. Our goal is to create a safe, relaxed environment where dogs who thrive in a family atmosphere can feel at home. If your dog enjoys being part of the pack and settling into a warm, structured household — we’d love to welcome them.

Ratings and reviews
This was the first time we used Rover and we couldn't be happier. Matt was great with our 4 year old German Shepherd. He gave her plenty of attention and played ball with her. He sent me pictures and videos everyday. She stayed there for 7 nights and when we picked her up, she was excited to see us but was not trying to leave. She felt at home there and very well cared for. I am more than pleased.
Matt took great care of Jonas. He communicated with us daily and sent pictures. Matt will definitely be our go to the next time we go on vacation!
Blue is always happy to see Matt and his family and we are at such peace leaving Blue at his ‘home away from home’. 💙
Matt has been really helpful with walking my dog when I’m really busy
I think my two senior Lapphunds enjoyed their stay at Matt's house! They can be uncertain about changes to their routine, but they were quite unruffled when I collected them, so I'm hoping they behaved well throughout. ;) They love it that Matt took them for walks. I love it that Matt is convenient to my home. I would definitely expect to board them with him again!
We so appreciate the care Matt provides for Blue!! Walks, cuddles, and baking soda baths for our stinky bugga boy. 5 star care!

Schedule
I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. I also like to challenge them to learn something new through positive reinforcement and repetition. Some dogs just want to play games and check out new smells. I'm very patient and receptive to what you and your dog's wants and needs.
