Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Hi, I’m Matteo! Caring for animals has been a part of my life since I was 14. My love for dogs runs deep, and I’ve been surrounded by animals since childhood. My father raised dogs for hunting and competition, so I grew up in a home filled with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. That early experience taught me responsibility, compassion, and a strong understanding of animal behavior. Today, I’m proud to provide a loving, safe, and comfortable environment for your furry family members. I work from home, so I’m always here to give your pet the attention they deserve—whether they’re a playful puppy or a sweet senior. I have experience administering medications, managing special diets, and making sure every pet feels at home. We live on a spacious double lot with secure fencing. Your dog will always be safe here. My own dogs have their own separate fenced yard, so I don’t mix boarding dogs with my personal pets—especially since most of my boarding guests are smaller breeds. Inside, your pup will stay cool with air conditioning, and enjoy potty breaks and supervised playtime in the yard. I’ll keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos throughout the day so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting yours!

I took a chance on a new sitter, and I'm so glad I did! Matteo and his family made us feel right at home. They were very communicative, sending me videos and photos throughout the day. The highlight was watching my dog, Levi, become best friends with Matteo’s daughter. They came in as strangers and left as great friends. I highly recommend them—10/10!

A wonderfully positive experience from start to finish. Matteo is warm, friendly, and a genuine animal lover. Communication was great and he shared plenty of photos and updates. I could tell Loba grew very fond of him and had a happy stay. Would definitely book Matteo again and I highly recommend!

Matteo is absolutely amazing! He’s the only person we trust to take care of our dogs when we’re away. He’s incredibly responsible, super trustworthy, and you can really tell he cares. Our dogs love staying with him—they’re always excited to see him and come back happy and relaxed. One of the things I appreciate most is how he keeps us updated throughout the day. He always sends messages and pictures, letting us know how they're doing, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’re so lucky to have found someone like Matteo. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more!

Matteo is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for pets. From the moment he met my dog, I could see the connection — gentle, patient, and attentive. What sets Matteo apart is not just his deep understanding of animal behavior, but the genuine love and respect he shows every pet as if they were his own. He goes above and beyond, offering not only safe and comfortable care, but also plenty of play, mental stimulation, and affection. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my furry family member. Highly recommended

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged—both physically and mentally! We’ll play fun games together, go on sniffing adventures around my neighborhood, and explore a big park nearby where they can enjoy new sights, smells, and sounds. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or working on a few tricks, I make sure every pet has a great time while in my care.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. My preference is for breeds that are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around other dogs, but I’m happy to discuss any specific needs your pet may have.
