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 did just recently adopt a 4 year old Chocolate Lab named Riley. She's an absolute sweetheart and has done great with all of the Rover dogs she's met so far.

Pepper Jack really enjoyed his stay here! Matt is very accommodating and the dog he owns is very sweet. I definitely recommend him and will be using him in the future.

As always, it’s so nice to leave my dog somewhere where I know he will be well cared for. I really love the pics I get twice a day!!

Pinot had the best time staying with Matt! She came home a happy and tired pup after playing all weekend and being well looked after. Matt provided updates throughout the weekend so I never had a worry about how Pinot was doing!

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.

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.
