Dog Loving Dad!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. I grew up with family dogs, Cocker Spaniels, Norwegian Elkhounds, Dobermans, etc. We have been doing Rover now for 4 years and have welcomed 100's of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages into our home during that time. We have 3 dogs of our own, Hank, Dixie, and June, who are all Olde English Bulldogges. Our dogs are all socialized at a young age to interact with other dogs. I am very familiar with the bully breeds, especially English Bulldogs. I am a married father of three daughters in the Cedar Valley area. I treat animals like they are my own, which means they become a part of the family. Leave your dogs at home knowing that they will be taken care of by a caring professional. Peace of mind for you and your pets while you are away on vacation or just out for the day. You Leave Em', We Love Em'

Responsive and gave us updates throughout the week. We couldn't be happier as it seems Rosie couldn't be either. We will definitely be using Mat and his family again. Thank you Penberthy's

I didn’t know my dog was going to be in a crate most of the time. Also, more communication would have been nice. I got a lot of one and two word responses.

Matt provided excellent care for our dogs! He was great with communication and sent pictures daily. It set my mind at ease as one of our dogs is a puppy. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a home away from home for their pups.

Thank you, Matt for taking care of our boy. Matt is very dependable & my Top sitter. He respects my goals for Skaar, communicates frequently, & always provides a follow up on how Skaar did.
