About Matthew B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.
Information Matthew B. would like to know about your pet
I have a number of questions that I’ll provide well ahead of time. This will help cover any circumstances that could surface. My goal is to have all of the information in-hand to make the best decisions for your pup.
A typical day
My focus when house sitting or boarding dogs starts with minimizing the impact of your absence. This includes a balance of exercise, attention, enrichment, and training (where appropriate). Being away from “the pack” is tough for your pup and I want them to have the best experience as possible. Let’s discuss your dog’s needs and find the best set of activities for them.

Reviews
Matt is phenomenal. I’m a repeat customer because of the care he shows my pup. Highly recommended!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew B. and the care he provided for my senior dog. From the very beginning, Matthew showed patience, warmth, and an intuitive understanding of the unique needs that come with caring for an older pup. The best!
Matthew is great with my puppy! He’s kind and patient and has a great understanding of dog behaviors. He’s also accommodating & communicative. Lucky to have found him.
Matthew and I had a great Meet & Greet, and his first walk with Lina went well. He is genuinely interested in understanding each dog and was so sweet in responding to her reactivity. I absolutely trust him with my Lina.
