Matt was amazing! You could tell he has a lot of love for every dog. He messaged and kept me updated with pictures regularly.

Matt has always been wonderful to work with. This time our trip took a few unexpected twists and Matt helped us in many ways.

Matt was a very enjoyable person to work with, he accommodated some of our unexpected need for changes, get along extremely well with our dog, and that was apparent when I came to pick her up. We are very pleased with Matt and will certainly work with him again.

Matt took great care of Rollie. The walks and updates were great. He also was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times.

Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.

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.
