About Matthew B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live on 2 acres not fenced in. I utilize long lines and leashes for potty breaks and allowing pets to run and play. I have 6 very social dogs in the house who are open and ready to play if your pup is open to it, I have lots of experience in introducing dogs and cats to each other in positive ways. I love to take my dogs on hikes and would love to get out with some new buddies as well if they are up for the challenge!

Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is social with dogs cats or kids. I can have them kept separate from mine or they can all play! Also if needed any meds, extra potty time or any specific requests your pet may have!
A typical day
I am big on breed specific enrichment! So not just puzzle toys and treats but getting them mentally stimulated in a way that meets their genetic needs! My personal dogs do tracking, dock diving and protection work. I also love to hike, swim, paddle board with dogs and teach them how to have full freedom in their day to day life.

Pet care experience
I’ve worked with dogs professionally for the last 4 years. Have 3 years of pet CPR/first aid training. In my 4 years I’ve spent lots of time researching the best ways to bond with each breed using play and their natural instincts. I love working with the lower confident pets and helping them find their way out of their shells.
Cat care experience
Matthew also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Matthew exceeded expectations! Not only is he professional, but it’s also clear that caring for dogs is a full time passion. My pup, Cooper, loved him and Matthew even took time to train him. I will definitely be booking again and recommending him to all my pet owning friends. Very grateful to have you in the area Matthew!
Matt did a great job Kahlua loved him!
Matthew is a star. He is kind, calm, knowledgeable, resourceful and SO GOOD with our fur babies. We were comfortable trusting him with two quirky pitties, managing their needs with confidence. We hope to keep him coming back to (fur) babysit often!
One of the best I’ve ever found on this site,always on time and professional and gives such helpful advice,my dog loves him so much she always gets so excited to see him. I always feel like I can ask questions and get confident answers with him.
