PROVIDES 5-STAR CARE 🐕🐈

Pet care experience

Hi there. I'm Matthew and my goal is to get to know your dog or cat and create a bond with them so we can have an amazing time together! I have 10+ years of personal experience with rescue dogs since I had 3 rescue English Bulldogs with 3 distinct personalities. My family also had a kitty growing up. Currently, I have one rescue English Bulldog called Nugget. I also have experience working in rescues such as bathing, walking, also caring for them during adoption events. Because of my experience at rescues, I have developed skills to handle every kind of situation that a variety of personalities your pup poses! There is no doubt that I will care for your dog as if they are my own! For more active breeds, you can expect me to walk them at least a mile/30minutes and more with playtime. For mellow breeds, we can keep it at their pace! For boarding, I live in an apartment in Los Angeles with a doggy fenced area at my apartment. We usually use it as a potty place and play area because it is safe and only accessible for residents. I will provide lots of cuddles, belly rubs, play time and also cute photos for you! I will treat your furbaby with love and utmost care that they deserve :) I can't wait to meet your furbaby!

A+++ on communication and care! Matthew accepted my request last minute, and I was able to have peace of mind that my cats would be well taken care of while I was away for a week. He sent photos and videos daily. Both my cats loved him! Even the shy girl~ I would totally recommend Matthew to any other furbaby parent!

Matthew was amazing with my two cats over the 4th of July long weekend! He was able to give our asthmatic cat her medication everyday, sent several super cute videos and photos of our cats every visit, and made sure they were entertained with games and feeling happy. At my request, he even made sure that our AC unit was functioning in a good range so the cats didn’t get too hot. Couldn’t really ask for more :)
