Longtime Dog Caretaker & Rescuer
Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs since the age of 8 years old and have personally owned, rescued and trained 9 of my own within the last 25 years. I’ve owned Bichon's, Yorkies, Rotties, Pitties & German Shepherds. My attention to detail and goal to treat each pup like family, is what sets me apart. I currently work from home, and I’m readily available throughout the week and weekends. My schedule is flexible. Morning, afternoon and evening walks, as well as weekend hikes are part of my pet care routine. My place: Even though I live in a apartment community, there is a fenced in dog park, plenty of walking trails and areas to run and play. I always make sure my clients dog(s) are properly fed and fresh water is available. Clients home: The goal is to make sure the dog is comfortable, has done it’s “business” and energy expelled before leaving.
Reviews
Once again, Matthew was excellent with our dog! He was quick to notify us that she wasn't eating (briefly) while we were away, which allowed us to brainstorm and figure out a way to get her back on track. It was all smooth sailing from there!
I highly recommend Matthew, followed care instructions perfectly and updated with all activities and aspects of caring for my sweet dog Dilly.
Matthew was great with our dogs. He was very kind and caring. We were thankful he was willing to carry our 14 year old dog outside to use the bathroom as her back legs no longer work. We would definitely use again and recommend!
Matthew is great and very kind. Lulu had a hard time adjusting and he really took extra efforts to make her stay better! We appreciate his patience!

Safety, trust & environment
Long walks, runs in the dog park and making sure they’re comfortable in-house is always a top priority. They will be treated like family and enjoy the stay.
Information Matthew H. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know what the specific quirks are of each pup. So, how they’ll let me know when they need to use the bathroom, when they’re talking to me what they’re looking for and are they allergic to any type of specific proteins or foods.
A typical day
I love to take long walks both around the neighborhood and in different environments, so my guests are never bored and get plenty of exercise throughout the day.
