No Dog Too Big or Small
Pet care experience
For more than 7 years I've been the go-to person for family and friends to call in times they needed someone to watch their dogs while they are away. I've taken care of young dogs, old dogs, small and large dogs. I've done everything from staying the night to feeding them according to specific requests, walking the dogs, bathing them when needed. I've always managed to develop a bond with each dog I've taken care of and I think this is largely due to my approach of being patient, intuitive and friendly to establish trust. I'm happy to now be extending my services to more families who are in search of someone who is friendly, follows instructions and is reliable.
Reviews
Have worked with Matthew multiple times, always wonderful!!
Second time having Matthew come watch our animals. Very professional, communicative, and goes above and beyond for us. So glad we found him!!
Matthew did an amazing job with our 2 big dogs! He was on time for our house/dog sitting for us, took our boys on numerous walks, and sent us updates daily! We didn’t worry at all being away from them. Communication with Matthew was great and he even washed the bedding before leaving! We very much appreciated him house/dog sitting and will highly use his assistance again!
Matt was great! I could tell right away my dog loved him and he would be in great hands. My boy is big and energetic so I needed someone that could physically handle him, and even just watching Matt interact and play with Pumba on our first meeting let me know that Matt definitely fit the bill of what we needed. Matt was great at sending me pictures and updates every day and quick at responding if I had any questions or wanted to check in on my own. When I got home, I could tell Pumba was happy and well cared for…we will definitely be using Matt again in the future (if he’ll have us!)

Safety, trust & environment
All dogs are different and as such sometimes the time it takes to develop trust between me and your pets will vary. Either way I will always treat your pets as though they are family.
Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet
The age and the breed will be important to know so I have a general idea of what to expect. Any specified instructions regarding diet and eating times will help too.
A typical day
Typically I will spend some time with the dogs by playing fetch, petting them, and hanging out with them. I've learned that dogs simply just want someone that cares about them and is with them.
