Matthew was available to watch our dog, Mocha, on short notice. He was friendly, responded quickly to texts, and was very easy to communicate with. We would recommend him for your pet care needs.

Matthew was very diligent with his care of our puppy. He kept thorough records of his duties and was very consistent with providing updates daily. We feel very comfortable with leaving our puppy with him on our vacation.

Matthew treats my dogs as if he was his own. He is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adore him and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see him interact with your dog that it is not just a business to him it is his love. Thanks Matthew

Matthew was attentive and gave updates frequently. Nikko seemed to enjoy her time there and playtime with other dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a medium-sized house which could ideally take in 3 dogs since I have 2 dogs of my own. Both of my dogs are getting old and have had incidents in the past with other dogs in the past, so we slowly allow the dogs to meet each other.

A typical day

I tend to take the dogs out 2-3 times 2 blocks away from my house since there is a park. All the dogs I’ve walked to the park have loved it.
