Home full-time; dog park onsite!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and they’ve ranged in size from medium to large. A few months ago I adopted a loving and energetic Yorkie/Chihuahua mix puppy and couldn’t be more excited. I’m home full-time and am very flexible with walking/boarding availability. I’m accustom to caring for a puppy so plenty of bathroom breaks and lots of patience are extremely common in my house. I live in a gated condo complex with plenty of grassy areas and an onsite fenced dog park for off-leash fun and adventures! Dogs of any age are welcome, but I do live on the 2nd floor so hey will need to be able to climb and descend stairs. I have an open floor plan so there’s plenty of space for running and playing inside when the conditions outside aren’t ideal!

Matt watched my 3 month old Westie, Cyrus, for two days (doggy daycare) while I was at work. It was a bonus that Matt has an adorable, sweet puppy named Bentley who got along well with Cyrus from the meet and greet onward. They were able to play and do whatever else puppies do! Matt was very understanding of Cyrus still being in the potty training phase and I really appreciated it! Matt also provided updates to me over the course of those two days and I could tell that Cyrus was happy which put my mind at ease. Cyrus was also very excited to see Matt both days so that was a great confirmation as well! As a puppy mom, I highly recommend Matt as a sitter and Bentley as a play pal!

Matt kept my fur baby, Minga four days last week and did a great job! He was patient, caring and attentive to her and very considerate of her not being completely, house trained by walking her frequently. I was a bit concerned since this was only the second time I’ve been away from her for an extended period of time but Matt eased my worries after the first few hours. He updated me often with pics and texts throughout the day and his sweet pup, Bentley made her right at home, providing lots of playtime. I would definitely, book Matt again!

Matt is amazing!!! He was incredible with Digory and stayed well communicated. He gave lots of status updates and sent many wonderful pictures as well. He made me feel like my dog was in such good care and my mind was kept at ease. I would hire Matt again FOR SURE Digory had a smile on his face in every picture and when my girlfriend came home she said he looked happy, healthy, and well taken care of.

We’ll alternate our time between going for walks, playing fetch/tug-of-war, and lounging on the couch. There is ample green space through my complex for walking and also an on-site dog park in-case they need some outdoor time off-leash. Also, I live right across from one of Smyrna’s many parks.
