Pets Over People :-)

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years, mine and others. I believe animals should be loved and respected. I have a toy poodle, but have had schnauzers, pitties, a chihuahua, and cats, as well as fish and a bearded dragon.

We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and Matthew did a fantastic job taking care of all of them. The cats are pretty low maintenance but the dogs are high maintenance and he took care of all of them very well. Everything was better off when we got home. The litter boxes were clean and had fresh litter and the dogs were wagging tails and happy so we were happy. He stayed at our place and took care of everything while we were gone. When we got home the pets were great, the trash was out, and the place was tidy. We highly recommend Matthew!

Matt did an excellent job taking care of our three dogs. He stayed at our house, brought in mail, exercised the dogs each day and made sure they got everything they needed. We have two labradoodles and a dacshund, and Matt made sure they were loved and taken care of. They loved him, and any time we need someone to watch them we call him. He even brought his own pup with him and they all got along together. Our house was neater than when we left!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe it is important to communicate how your home works - dogs free in the yard, always use leashes, schedules - your pet’s safety and care is my #1 priority.

Information Matthew E. would like to know about your pet

It’s always best to know about your dogs likes and dislikes, temperament, and habits. If they have any special needs or special dietary preferences or needs.

A typical day

Walks, dog park if that’s a good fit for your dog, agility work, and lots of interactive play! I love dogs and spending time with them.
