a Dog's best friend = ME!

Pet care experience

I am an ardent dog lover. I was the official neighborhood dog babysitter for my entire childhood and took care of dogs across the spectrum from large elderly dog to small, new-born puppies. I have experience dealing with dogs with arthritis and high anxiety and also dogs who are overly hyper and need some restraint at times. I work from home full time so I am able to care for dogs day & night. During your pet's stay he/she can expect dedicated care and close attention along with ample play time and as many walks as needed. I aim to treat each dog as my own and ensure they feel right at home during their stay.

Matt was great with Lily and really helped her feel at home with her separation anxiety!

Matt agreed to watch Jewels last minute during the work day. He responded quickly, sent pictures, and took great care of Jewels! I would definitely recommend using Matt as a dog sitter!

Matthew was amazing taking care of our senior dog Luna. He went above and beyond when Luna didn't want to eat her prescription food. Matthew cooked special food for her for three days. He also kept me update of Luna's wellbeing, and respond always promptly. Thank you so much Matthew!

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

I love all types of dogs. I have a spacious 1100 sq foot condo so your pup will have plenty of room to move around. Also allow your dog to rest and nap on any of the couches and chairs we have in our apartment.

A typical day

Live in downtown Jersey City so there are plenty of dog parks and good spots to take your dog for walks and play time. Also have a car in case of emergencies or dog drop off.
