Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable on-time walks & drop ins
I own two hunting dogs myself, so I understand energetic breeds and daily exercise needs firsthand. I've also cared for neighbors' dogs for years — including a boxer, a retriever mix, and a poodle — giving me hands-on experience with a range of sizes and temperaments.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, I come to your home to care for your dog in their own familiar environment — no car rides or new spaces required. I follow your instructions exactly for feeding, medication, or routine, and I always double-check gates and doors are secure before leaving
Ratings and reviews
Matthew has watched our sweet pup several times. He is kind and our dog loves him!! Matthew goes above and beyond to make sure our pup and house are safe while we are gone. 5 stars for sure!!
Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency, and Matthew was kind enough to step in and help us out. From the very beginning, he was friendly, reliable, and incredibly trustworthy. He took great care of our dogs and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them and treated them like his own. We truly appreciated his flexibility and willingness to help us when we needed it most. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. We will definitely be using him again in the future!
Matthew did a great job watching our two medium-sized, high-energy dogs while we were away for the weekend. We came home to two very happy pups! We’ve used Matthew before and always feel comfortable leaving our dogs in his care. He’s reliable, caring, and great with them. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I'm a full-time college student, so my schedule runs on a pretty fixed routine between classes, which means I can offer reliable, same-time visits every day. Available for walks and drop-ins 3-10 PM on weekdays, and more flexible hours on weekends
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldMatthew can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Before our first visit, just let me know about any leash reactivity, escape risk, medical issues, or feeding/medication needs that fall during my visit. I'll also ask about entry access (gate code, lockbox, etc.) so the first walk goes smoothly.
