About Matthew D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any preferences honestly, I can work with most dogs needs. Just be sure to let me know any restrictions or requirements that they need.
A typical day
1. Outdoor Playtime: Take them for walks, play fetch, or let them explore a safe, spacious yard or park. 2. Interactive Games: Use toys that stimulate their minds, like puzzle feeders or treat-dispensing toys. 3. Training Sessions: Teach them new tricks or reinforce basic commands with positive reinforcement. 4. Cuddle Time: Spend some quiet time cuddling, brushing, or just sitting together for comfort. 5. Creative Play: Create obstacle courses using household items for an exciting indoor activity. 6. Socialization: Arrange playdates with other pets to help them socialize and burn off energy. 7. Nature Exploration: If they're comfortable, take them on small adventures to nearby nature trails. 8. Photo Sessions: Capture their adorable moments with a fun photo shoot.

Reviews

Matt was very good with our dog. He is near the Great Lakes Naval Base and is experienced with dog foster care. He has a small fenced yard and let our dog socialize with his three dogs. Our small terrier easily assimilated as a member of the family. 5 stars.


We had a great experience with Matthew! He was very flexible and accommodating when we needed to drop our dogs off earlier than originally scheduled. He kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear our dogs were having so much fun and were well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!!

Matthew was on time , polite and very friendly with my dog. He had the right questions to ask about where to walk in the neighborhood, area of disposal, can we interact with other dogs, does he like kids etc He even took my dog for a run , trained him a bit , helped let out some energy. All in all he was great, definitely recommend him
