I am a software designer and I work mostly at night from home. Getting out during the day will be nice treat for me. Other than afternoons at the park with my dog, I don't get to get out all day. This would fit perfectly into my schedule

Safety, trust & environment

I can let your dog's out for a bit if you have a yard. I can also take them for a walk. Check their water and food if you like. Give them a treat and really just spend time with them while you're away or at work. We can also discuss other things I can do for your pet whole I'm there.

Information Matt P. would like to know about your pet

Has your dog ever been aggressive? Has your dog ever been socialized with other dogs?Does your dog react differently to men and women? Any other things you observe about your dog can be helpful to customize their care. So, please feel free to offer up any information that may be helpful.

A typical day

I love the local parks with my dog. Roger Scott dog park next to the airport is beautiful and very large. We just walk around my neighborhood some days, but on most we go to a park and enjoy some nature.

Pet care experience

I've trained and taken care of pets my whole life. Currently I have an awesome Olde English Bulldog. He is well trained and very smart. We are very active and go the the beach or the dog park daily. Spending time with pets is something I thoroughly enjoy.

Matt was amazing!! Our baby wouldn’t eat when we left (he gets extremely sad when we leave), and he went out of his way to get our guy to eat! He went to the store and picked up different kinds of food, cooked him chicken and eggs, etc. And it worked! Our dog also requires a lot of medication and eyedrops, and Matt did all of it. Matt truly went above and beyond, and we know Porky was in such great, caring hands. We highly recommend Matt and will absolutely rebook him.

Matt was fantastic. The dogs loved him right off the bat. He kept to the schedule I laid out and sent me progress reports and photos of the animals. He is the best dog sitter I have ever seen!
