Care For Your Pets Away From Home!

As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends!

Matt was available to take the dogs in on a short notice. Very communicative and the dogs had a great time with him. Would definitely recommend.

Matt did a fantastic job taking care of my five (!!!) animals in my home. I got timely text and photo updates during my absence. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Matt for dog walking! He was always prompt and communicated consistently, sending plenty of photos that helped put my mind at ease. His high energy and love for exercise made walks fun and engaging for my dog. It’s clear that my pup loved spending time with him! I’ll definitely be coming back to Matt again and again!

I can't recommend Matt highly enough as a pet caregiver! He did an amazing job managing my dog's health issues and complicated medication schedule, handling everything with ease. My dog absolutely loved Matt and his dogs, Lola and Rock. It was heartwarming to see how well they all got along! I can’t wait to take my pup back—Matt truly is the perfect caregiver!

Matt provided outstanding service for my German Shepherd! He took the time to engage and play, and my dog had an absolute blast with Matt’s two dogs, Rocky and Lola. The energy and fun they shared made for a fantastic experience. I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my pup received. Highly recommend Matt!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

Pets

A typical day

I am very active and walk my Mal 3-5 miles per day. Directly behind my house is a park with a trail and two baseball fields we will go and let loose on. I will provide walks and as much exercise as your pet needs or wants. At home when we have down time, the pets are free to roam as they like. They are welcome on the furniture and they can sleep and relax just about anywhere they choose. I will always be sure to send you multiple pictures throughout the day so you know your pup is safe and having fun!
