Your dog wants to vacation here! :)

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. :)

Matthew took care of our two larger dogs (a Pyrenees mix and black lab) and they were well taken care of! Thanks again!

Matthew was great and my puppy was nice and tired when I got home from an event.

I cannot express enough how wonderful Matthew is as a sitter!! He watched my two babies for two nights and they had the best time with him. Matthew has great communication and is punctual. He even trained Charli to go into her crate!! I’ve been trying for months and he accomplished this in a few hours!! He sent me regular pictures of them as well. 10 STARS for Matthew!! Thank you so much. It was wonderful coming home to two happy puppies and a clean house!! ❤️

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!
