Reliable Home and Pet Care

Pet care experience

My wife (Corinne) and I are Alameda homeowners with a passion for the island. Our love for the Alameda and our neighbors motivates us to put our lifetime of experience caring for animals and homes to practical use. Allow us to provide you with peace-of-mind when you are away at work or on vacation.

Panda always enjoys his stay with Corinne and Matthew! We love receiving the pictures they send and especially enjoy seeing him and their cat inching closer on each stay!

Matt and Corinne did an amazing job as usual. They’re our preferred dog sitters for are two boys. They take plenty of photos and provide the boys with plenty of outdoor exercise. We highly recommend them. A++

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

We like to know allergies and dietary restrictions, dietary preferences, preferred routes and activities, triggers, fitness goals and favorite toys. The more you disclose to us, the better we can cater to them!

A typical day

We are happy to explore any recommended routes you may have for your pup. We would also love to visit any of her favorite parks to play catch with a frisbee, ball, stick, or whatever the preferred high tech toy du jour is. Corinnes always ready with a treat and belly rubs - as a lifelong dog-whisperer she loves spoiling furry critters of all shapes and sizes whenever the opportunity presents itself. Matt is a runner and kitchen-experimenter in his free time, so he would be happy to go for a jog or whip up ingredient-sensitive meals for health-conscious dogs!
