Pet care experience

I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is happy and safe in order for you to enjoy your personal time out of town or focus on a work trip. I’m a 40 year old terminally educated professional who works from home with lots of room indoors, plenty of dog beds, a fenced yard, and a tendency to spoil four legged visitors! I have been active in breed rescue organizations and have a great dog hauling vehicle for pickups/dropoffs/trips to the park! I also have excellent, professional communication skills, and as a former owner of a special needs dog (my greyhound had anxiety and a brain injury) I know how important good communication is. I’m happy to provide as many updates via email, text, or FaceTime/Skype as you need to feel comfortable your pup is in good hands!

Lexi loved her stay with her new friend Matthew. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave. He was great with her and easy to work with. I’m already booking him again.

Matt gave great care to our Lab. He sent pictures about their time together consistently, and was very attentive to her. He clearly LOVES dogs and treated her as his own.We HIGHLY recommend Matt and will definitely use him again when we’re in the area!

Matt was so great with our dog! Our dog stayed with Matt while recovering from a surgery, and Matt ensured that he did not do any of his restricted activities, and fed him according to his post surgery schedule. Our dog instantly loved Matt’s space; it is filled with dog toys, a cozy bed, water, and a nice backyard. Matt is professional, kind, and accommodating. He kept me up to date on how things were going, and did not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I truly appreciated his genuine care for our dog, and the respect he showed us. I definitely recommend him!

Matthew was great with both of my girls! He kept me updated on everything him and the dogs did! He was very polite and ensured whatever the dogs were doing was okay. I would definitely recommend Matthew to sit your dogs!
