Availability
I work from home, so I have the flexibility during the week to drop in for visits and dog walking. My work schedule typically allows for me to adapt to what your schedule calls for. I am open to overnight stays on a case by case basis. Please send me a message with details and I'll figure out if I am available.

About Matthew C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a good deal of experience walking dogs, including reactive dogs. Taking care of foster dogs, often fresh from shelters, I've grown used to handling dogs with various behavioral issues and fears, keeping them away from triggers.
Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog's special needs, behaviors, and interests in advance -the more that I know about your pet, the better I can care for them!
A typical day
I think it's key to provide both physical and mental stimulation with things like games, puzzle toys, and long sniffy walks. Depending on your dog's interests and preferences, we can engage in physical play as well as mental challenges and training activities.

Aspiring To Be Dog's Best Friend
Pet care experience
From my childhood days of caring for my beloved dogs Shadow and Mittens (and Charlie the cat) to my more recent role as dog foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Laila's Legacy, I love caring for man's best friend. I am the guy at the party who would rather hang out with pets than people and in our circle of friends, I am the designated dog sitter and walker whenever the need arises.
Reviews
Matt is great with my quirky dogs, great about communicating, and very reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Matt was amazing. He took care of my two dogs for a week over winter break and it was such a relief to know that they were in such caring and competent hands. He sent pictures everyday and provided updates on how everything was going. He was also incredibly gracious with requests from me while I was away. I would trust him to take care of my dogs again in a heartbeat!
Matthew was a great sitter for Ellie as per usual, he took such great care of her! Would highly recommend!
Matt was amazing. Great communication, very responsive and detailed. He took great care of our special needs dog and energetic cat over the holidays. Will definitely book again!!
