Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

Whatever the Rules that the Pet Parent would like me to follow. Are there any areas that are off-limits? Any special feeding instructions or schedules? Any quirks or behaviors that are unique to your pet?

A typical day

I’m eager to do what a pet enjoys most. Whether that is walks in the neighborhood or a park, playing in their own yard, or just getting scratches on a comfy couch and spending quality time with them.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Matthew and I understand the needs and concerns of Pet Parents like you when they have to be away from their pets. Whether it is just for an afternoon, multiple days or weeks, you want to make sure they are happy, safe and well-cared-for. Our pets are special to us because of the Love they give back to us every day. I was a proud Dog Dad to two beagles for 14 years, but I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been blessed to work with many wonderful families over the past few years especially!

As always, Tucker’s stay with Matthew over the July 4th weekend went great. Lots of walks, pics and daily updates. We always have the important peace of mind and know that Tucker is well taken care of when we’re gone. Thanks so much, Matthew! See you next time!

This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone outside of family, and Matthew made the entire experience stress-free. He knew exactly what to share in his check-in updates and always kept us informed, which helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. He went above and beyond in caring for our pups and we are beyond thankful. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were getting plenty of attention and great care. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with him again!

Matthew was amazing. He took such good care of my Frenchies. They love him. He went over and beyond giving medication and even purchased ear wash for my dog who had itchy ears.
