Information Matthew & Bethany L. would like to know about your pet

Mostly I'll need to know what your pet needs to be safe and happy while you're away. Does Fido eat dinner promptly at 5pm? Does he prefer squeaky toys over tennis balls? Does peanut butter give him a tummy ache? In general, the advantage of petsitting over a boarding kennel is that your pet can receive more individualized care, so please let me know what you and your dog need to have a peaceful stay.

A typical day

When staying with us, your doggies will enjoy walks at Woodland Trail and Chambers Lake. They'll also get supervised playtime several times per day in our yard (on a 30' lead and harness for their safety). Repeat clients will be eligible to visit the dog park once we've had a few visits to fully assess their behavior. Indoor activities include Kong treats, bully sticks, a plethora of toys, and unlimited belly rubs!

Pet care experience

When you're looking for a petsitter, you want someone who will not only lavish them with hugs and snuggles, but who also knows how to keep your pet happy and healthy while you're away. My dog experience started with my own pup as a kid, but led to cherished professional experience in pet stores and kennel management. And I certainly don't stop at dogs; I've also cared for birds, pocket pets, and reptiles (in fact, our reptiles have their own room in our house!). I'm also glad to have a wonderful petsitting partner in my wife, Bethany, who shares my love of animals and rounds out my knowledge with her degree in Animal Science. The bottom line is, we know pets. If Spot's tummy is upset, we can whip up a stomach-soothing meal, and if that doesn't work we'll make sure he gets the vet care that he needs. We'll treat your dog (or cat, gecko, gerbil, or turtle!) like one of our own, and I think our dogs would tell you that that's a pretty sweet deal. :)

This is my second time booking with Matthew for a 5 day trip, and I’m equally as thrilled with his service as the first time. My dog absolutely loves him, and I really appreciate his daily photos and quick recap. He even alerted me to a potential hazard and resolved it right away. I know my dog will be safe, entertained, and loved on when he drops in!

Matthew has been absolutely amazing with our Australian Shepherds. He's a great communicator, flexible, and has lots of patience.

Matthew was great! He was consistent and reliable. He seems to really love pet sitting, and was a great match for our dog. My dog FlapJack loves to walk fast and sniff everything, and Matthew was happy to accommodate that. He is also flexible and communicative. My flights got delayed and I was worried about modifying our booking last minute, but he walked me through it and was happy to help us out a few more days. I plan to book with Matthew again!

Our 3 dogs had so much fun with Matthew while we were out of town for five days!
