Safety, trust & environment

I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

Information Matthew H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special behaviors or quirks that may come up on the visit. I would love to know how they like to play, if they like balls or toys, fetch or no fetch, that sort of thing. If they are okay or not around other animals would be good to know as well.

A typical day

Fetch and soccer are two of my favorite games to play with pups. Once I get a dog to realize they should be acting as the goalie they really get into it. I’m also known all around by dogs and cats to be a wonderful massager. I will rub your pet for hours and put them to sleep.

Matthew is great. Always a pleasure when he watches our pups. They love him and he takes tremendous care of them.

Matthew did a great job of taking care of Mango as usual! Makes going away less stressful knowing he's in good hands.

Flexible when our schedule and needs were chaos. Our dog Chewie LOVED him immediately, and we felt like we could trust him.

Matthew is great! Very diligent, communicative, and kind! Unfortunately, my cat is not.
