Safety, trust & environment

I have a partially fenced yard with 1 acre of land. There’s plenty of space to walk, play, or use the bathroom. There’s an indoor pool for any swimmers and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. I live on a dead end, so there is no through traffic.

Information Matthew G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you need any accommodations or if your dog has any special needs. My last dog was epileptic and needed to take medicine everyday, so I am comfortable giving oral medications.

A typical day

Walks - there are some great hiking trails in my neighborhood. Play - I have plenty of dog toys and ropes for tug-of-war. Swimming - indoor pool in backyard for any dogs who like to get wet.

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a dog since I was a child. Daily walks and bathroom breaks are all routine. I trained my last pup to sit and give his paw, he could even switch to left paw :) I only take care of one dog at a time to keep things less stressful and so your pup can get all the attention they deserve.

Professional. Friendly. Great job handling my stubborn little bully pup, who is still learning his manners.

Matthew did great with my dog and was very quick to respond and followed instructions very well, adapted to quick changes mid walk to help better the service. Nice job
