Looking for dog who'll play with me

Pet care experience

I am a former dog owner who loves playing with dogs, whether it is running, tug of war, fetch or just wrestling. I am an expert belly rubber. Certainly, don't mind a good cuddle session either. I work close to home but have a ruff schedule, but once I commit to your dog, I'll never let him/her down. If the owner wants, I can introduce your pup to some other great dogs that I watch for friends. I like to run, whether it's a quick half mile sprint or 5 mile runs for more active dogs. I can easily sit in front of a TV and pets your dog for hours. I am trust worthy, reliable and will never do anything without owner permission first.

Matthew has been great with walking Huey! He is a rescue and adjusting to his new home, so I am so grateful Matthew is there to walk him during the day while I am at work! I would recommend him to anyone!

WOW!!! Matthew was fantastic. It was so easy to book with him. He responded quickly and made everything so easy. Our dogs were happy and well cared for. He sent pictures and updates and genuinely seemed to enjoy having our dogs. We will 100% use him again!!!!

Matt has been one of my most trusted friends for over 16 years. Anytime I leave town, he is my first choice for dog-sitting my Corgi-mix pup. Its a huge relief to know my little guy is in not just capable, but loving hands. I cannot recommend him enough!

My neurotic mess of a dog, Archer, can be very picky when it comes to people; especially men for some reason. However, Matt is always so great with calming him right down and before long, Archer is cuddling up in his lap (and at ~40lbs, that's no small feat). It's so easy to tell that he knows how to put a frightened dog's fears to rest by creating an inviting/safe environment and I never worry about leaving him in his care. No one will pay more attention to your furry baby than this guy.
