Pet care experience

Certified dog trainer (KPA-CTP)

I've always been around dogs, I love animals. When I adopted Loup, our German Shepherd, I discovered my passion for dogs and dog training, as well as a natural ability to teach them. This motivated me to follow a 6-month dog training course with Karen Pryor Academy, a highly regarded institute based on positive reinforcement. I am now a certified trainer. The well-being of your dog will be my priority.

Boarding • Jul 13, 2026

Matt and his family were lovely, and very accommodating. They agreed without hesitation to host our pup at the last minute, which was greatly appreciated. It was obvious Matt has a love for dogs as he provided genuine care, and kept us updated throughout the stay. It was great to have peace of mind knowing our small dog was happy and safe - we will use their services again!

Merlin semble avoir adoré son séjour avec la famille de Matthew ! Ceux-ci ont été très gentil et se sont assurément très bien occupé de notre chien ! Sa petite famille est merveilleuse ainsi que leur chien Loup ! Si nous avons à repartir encore nous recontacterons certainement Matthew pour garder Merlin :)!

Matt s'est occupé à plusieurs reprises de mon teckel miniature comme si c'était le tiens. Je lui fais entièrement confiance et je le recommande à tous ceux qui recherche un service professionnel et attentionné dans un environnement idéal pour votre chien. En plus de la pension, Matt a pu me donner des trucs et conseils très utile pour l'éducation de mon chien.
