I was terrified to leave my dog (and home) with a stranger, but knew my dog's anxiety would be far worse than mine, if I took him to a stranger's home and left for days. Matt was instantly good with my 65 lb, high energy, "trainers have given up on trying to teach him not to jump", amazingly loving dog. While I was gone, he took him on long walks and sent me a few photos each day. I cook for my dog, so I had left containers of food, portioned out for each meal. When I came home, Matt had washed them and neatly stacked them on the counter. He even watered my plants! Seriously. So if you are combing through profiles and still nervous about trying this service, just call Matt. He's a pretty nice guy too. You really can't go wrong with him. :)
