Dogs Rule! 🐾

Pet care experience

Dogs are simply awesome! I have cared for many different breeds and they all have a great attitude! Like my pup Sadie, whom I was so blessed to have enjoyed 14 wonderful years with, and will greatly miss her. My passion for caring for and helping animals hasn’t stopped though. It began when I was young. I was raised on a small rural farm in Ohio, and I had chores that involved feeding, pen/stable cleaning, ect. for a variety of my Grandparents animals; cows, calves, a bull, chickens, sheep, lambs and even for a time pigs & horses! After I graduated from High School, I then moved away from the farm to pursue a degree at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. A month after graduation, I drove from the East Coast to the West Coast. For the last few years, I have been enjoying helping pet owners find a comfortable space for their dogs and pups to stay. I have a gated backyard with walls on both sides and plenty of room for your pets to run, play and do their business. I also have trees in the backyard for shade and plenty of water to keep your pets hydrated, as well as toys and snacks! After they are done playing they can lounge on my couch, and have a comfortable spot to chill. I’m located in a quiet residential area, with little traffic and minimal noise.

Matthew was very calm and kind with Darby, and she came home smiling and happy - can't recommend him enough!

Matthew is super flexible and kind. My 2 pups are very different in age and temperament, they were well cared for and came back happy, with none of that "shell shock" that can often happen when they are somewhere that stresses them out. Thank you Matthew, and for putting up with them during a massive rain storm. :-)

Matthew was an excellent sitter! He was extremely timely with his responses and always kept us updated on our pup. He sent us tons of photos and was very accommodating of both our schedules and our dog’s needs. 10/10 would love to have him sit our dog again.

No issues whatsoever. Another plus: Matthew is incredibly kind and responsive. And he was good about sending pictures of my pup relaxing or playing and having a good time with other dogs. Would love to rebook again with him soon if he’s available next time!

I am patient when meeting new pups for the first time, I allow them to come to me when they are ready. I have had some dogs take a little longer to warm up if they are shy or timid, which I understand.

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

I would love to have a meet and greet to answer any questions you may have. I find meeting before the stay is a great way for your pup, you and I to be introduced so everyone is comfortable. Please let me know if your pet has any special or specific accommodations. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

A typical day

Walks and play are a great way to burn off that extra energy for your energetic pet. We could play fetch with a ball in the yard, or enjoy a walk through the neighborhood, seeing all the beautiful sites and scenery that nature provides living in the foothills.
