Pet care experience

Just an all around animal guy

I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, starting with my own and then neighbors and friends. My boy Bruizer, a blue tick lab mix, and I love to make any animal feel welcome. Don’t let his name fool you though, Bruizer is fixed, docile, and a true teddy bear. We do hiking as well as walking so let me know what kind of exercise your pup likes! I also keep aquatic animals and have a crested gecko, so keep me in mind for whatever pet care needs you may have.

Matthew was everything you could ask for in a sitter: communicative, accommodating, and respectful of our pup’s individualities! Could not ask for better and will definitely be booking again!

Matthew was great. Sent photos & updates to let us know Mau was doing well & that he was really enjoying Matthew's kids. Mau came home happy & healthy. Very pleased with the service.

Matthew communicated well, as needed, and my dog came back happy and worn out! Thank you!

Another great experience with Matthew! He is very responsive with communications, and prompt with pickup and delivery of our Beatrice. She comes back happy so we know she is well cared for and had fun ; )

Had a great experience boarding our lab with Matthew, excellent communication throughout, and our dog had a great time hanging out with Bruizer.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home and am full time student. Most of my time is flexible so don’t worry if there is a certain schedule your animal needs to be on. I feed my dog once in the morning, but I can separate them during those times if need be.
