Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.

Matthew was a fantastic dog sitter for Lucky! I could tell that Lucky felt right at home the moment he met Matthew. They played a lot in the short time that Lucky was over, and I would definitely hire Matthew again.

Matthew took such excellent care of my dog over the weekend, he was attentive and gentle and gave my dog his all the medications that he needed. His love for cavaliers is a plus and I felt at ease leaving my dog under his care. I would easily recommend him for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.

I think Matt might actually be a dog whisperer. He was able to squeeze us in last minute so my boy didn’t have to be in the kennel - it feels like we’re dropping him off with a trustworthy cousin instead!

My dog Stella absolutely loved her stay with Matthew. She knew right away that Matthew is a dog person. His house is neat and inviting, and has a fenced-in backyard. Matthew took Stella to hang out with other dogs and they went for long walks. We already planning Stella’s next stay. Thank you Matthew!

Schedule

I work from home 3 days per week and go into office 2 days. If your dog can go 8-9 hours without going out, that is fine. If not, we will need to work around my office days.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a single family house and a fenced in yard so they cannot escape. Dogs are allowed to roam around anywhere in my house and allowed on the furniture. I have central air so your dog will be comfortable all day.

A typical day

I live near a park and enjoy taking dogs up to the park to get some exercise. I also love playing fetch and games with dogs that enjoy those activities. I like to give treats to dogs who follow commands.

I am unable to accept dogs who eat tv remotes, chew furniture and are destructive to household furnishings. I love lap dogs and dogs that are very friendly and who love attention. I cannot accommodate pit bulls or pitbull mixes or dogs above 65 pounds.
