Information Matt W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any dietary needs, where they’re allowed (beds, couch, etc.), typical walk times, how they are with/around other dogs, and any medication needs.

A typical day

We’ll go for frequent walks, both locally that they’re used to and in or as close to nature as possible. We’ll run around (if physically able), play with toys, fetch, and just relax.

Pet care experience

Lifelong pet owner and “professional” dog walker/petsitter. I’ve had various pets growing up (dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, birds), and have even traveled cross-country for extended pet-sits (dogs, cats, chickens). No dog too big, no temperature too hot (or cold)!

Matt was great and took good care of our pup, Griffin while we were in town visiting Portland for a weekend. I would definitely recommend Matt and would reach out to him again in a heartbeat.

Matt was fantastic with my dog all week! He was attentive to his needs, took him on great walks, and always made sure he got his treats. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, such a great way to stay connected while I was working. Highly recommend Matt and would definitely book with him again in the future!

Matt was fantastic with my dog while I was out of town for a week! He gave me updates periodically and sent photos. My dog was a little anxious/excited being in a new environment and had a couple accidents, but Matt was very understanding. He took great care of Beau while I was away. Highly recommend!
