Availability
With my 100% work from home schedule I'll have plenty of time to care for your dog. I typically will make sure that you dog gets daily walks around the neighborhood and enjoy some fetch/play in the back yard.

About Matt M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for everyone to run around and play. The fence is over 6ft on all sides other than at the back property line where it is just over 4ft. Overall the house is extremely dog friendly and dogs typically enjoy free roam of the house including lounging on the furniture and sleeping in the bed unless you tell me otherwise. There's a security system and cameras in the front and back yards to keep an eye on everyone when I'm not there. I do ask that all dogs be up to date on all their veterinarian's recommended vaccinations and be on some form of flea prevention. I will ask for a copy of your dog's vaccination records before their first stay in order to assure that all the dogs stay healthy during their time here.
Home
Information Matt M. would like to know about your pet
I can be very accommodating for dogs that require additional care in regards to medication, feeding/potty schedules, etc. I'm comfortable watching all breeds of dogs but because I tend to have more than one dog at the house between doggy daycare and boardings I do ask that you please let me know if your dog is reactive to other dogs. I'm happy to care for reactive dogs and block off my calendar while they stay with me but generally will adjust daily fees.
A typical day
I like to make sure that your dog gets at least one good walk in around the neighborhood and that we get several fetch/play opportunities in the back yard each day. I have plenty of dog toys for the back yard. If your dog is more energetic I also like to get down to the river for a hike.

Work From Home = Tons Of Attention
Pet care experience
I've had several dogs over the last 25 years and I'm currently 100% work from home so your dog will have plenty of attention and care while staying with me. I live in the Northside and have a very dog friendly house including a fenced in back yard. I have a 7 year old Chocolate Lab named Riley. She's an absolute sweetheart and has done great with all of the Rover dogs she's met.
Reviews
I have been a repeat customer of Matt for several years. Communication and care are great. My dog Henry always is happy to run up to his door when I drop him off. I highly recommend Matt.
Indy always has such a good time, feels taken care of and comes home exhausted!
Our older dog, Olive, had a great overnight stay at Matt’s. We always feel comfortable leaving her there and appreciate the twice-daily updates with pics.
Matt was fantastic, he provided multiple daily updates and pictures of Penny's adventures with her new friends! I can always tell how much fun Penny has with the pet sitter by how tired she is when I pick her up, and I didn't even make it to the end of the street before she was fast asleep! 10/10 and would highly recommend!
