We Love Dogs and Dogs Love Us!

Pet care experience

I love nothing more than to spend time with my favorite animals--dogs! With me you get the very best in pet care for your dog , I am here to walk, play with, and care for your furry friends when you're away. Not only will your dog have me doting on them, but they'll also have a playmate, my dog Precious. We're so excited to meet you! When you book with me, you aren't just getting hobbyists. I am very experienced when it comes to pet care. My parents own and operate a dog training business, so I grew up learning a lot about dogs. Plus, I am certified in pet safety and am a pet care instructor, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. In my house your dog will be given the best care possible. They'll be treated as part of the family, we'll have lots of playtime, as well as relaxing time. I will see to it that your dog's routines and schedules are followed to the letter. I love to have dogs around, and as pet parent, I understand how important it is to have a pet sitter you trust. I want to be here for your dog when you can't be, whether you're taking a vacation or away on business. I have years of experience caring for small dogs, as well as large dogs up to about 60 pounds. With our love for dogs, pet care experience and flexible schedules, I am a great choice for any pet parent in need. We can guarantee that your dog will have a great time, and we hope to become your pet's home away from home.

Initially, I was nervous about leaving Scout for a week but Matt is great and sent daily updates and pictures throughout the day. I was able to enjoy my vacation and relax knowing that Scout was in great hands, in a safe environment and had a new dog friend, Precious, to keep him company. Without second thought, I will absolutely have Scout stay with Matt again in the future. If you want to fully relax and enjoy your vacation without overthinking about how your dog is every second, I would highly recommend setting up a meet and greet with Matt. Thanks!

Matthew is absolutely amazing. He is reliable, and excellent with our dogs (and our dogs are a LOT to handle). He always sends pictures of them, and gives us valuable updates as to what’s going on with our fur babies. 10/10 would recommend.

What can we say?? Matt is the BEST SITTER EVER!!! We are always happy leaving Lucky with Matt because he takes such wonderful care of him. He sends pictures every day showing us how much fun our baby boy is having with him and Precious. There is nothing more I can say than thank you for treating our fur baby like he is your very own. He loves it there with his 2nd family.

Information Matthew A. would like to know about your pet

Please advise me of any illnesses, special needs, and routines that I should be aware of. I also want to know how your pup gets along with other dogs and if they have any quirks I should know about. Please respect that I have a dog too, so if your dog is sick in any way, understand we may turn you down for an overnight stay until your dog is treated by a vet and feeling better.

A typical day

When your dog stays with us we'll have a blast! We'll go on walks around the neighborhood (always on the leash). Precious and your dog will enjoy playtime in our fenced in yard. We have a large yard for running around in, sniffing and basking in the sun in, protected by a 6 foot high fence. When we're inside we'll have some snuggles, positive reinforcement, attention and all necessary care--such as feeding and bathroom times.
