Matt was absolutely amazing! I would recommend him to anyone; and I am looking forward to having Ryder stay again in the future. My Ryder has separation anxiety and needs someone with him all the time. Matt was able to provide that, never leaving him alone for the weekend. He sent so many cute picture of Ryder, where we could see how happy and comfortable he felt. Matt took Ryder to explore for a walk. And his dog Memphis is super sweet and Ryder and I hit it off right away:)

Matt took such good of my 4 legged baby while I was on vacation! He’s so calm and gentle and sent updates twice a day. I appreciated the updates and the pictures of my baby very much! I will definitely use Matt’s boarding service in the future!

I cannot say enough good things about Matt! He was incredible with our two boys, so communicative, and made sure they got ample time outside and on trails! Very happy we found him!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small, modest home in a rural Michigan community. It's just minutes from scenic woodlands and the Heartland Trail, where I can offer walks in addition to quality time at home. I don't have children, and your dog will feel safe and content in my house and yard.

Pets

A typical day

I live alone with my dog, Memphis, and your pup will have all my attention during their stay. 100% of the time! There are a dozen Kong®, GoDog®, and Nylabone® toys for him or her to play with safely, along with my dog, who is gentle and friendly. I don't have a fenced yard, but your pup will NEVER leave my home without a leash and all my attention. My house is well protected against fleas & ticks, and my dog Memphis uses Simparica Trio®. She is also up to date with all her shots, vaccines, and boosters, including rabies, and is licensed here in Montcalm County. I have 2 large crates with pads that can be used if requested, but I will spend ALL my time with your pup and won't leave them unattended in my house.

I would like to know about your dog's personality and special needs. A brief overview of your pup's typical day is beneficial, including feeding times and amounts, conventional wake and sleep hours, potty schedules, and any medications they may take. I haven't met a dog I didn't bond with quickly, and I look forward to caring for yours.
