Tail-Wagging Care, Every Time

Caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love what I do. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away — and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, and I make sure each one feels at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to their daily routine, or just extra cuddles, I treat every dog like part of the family. At home, I have a playful German Shepherd and a sweet Chocolate Lab who love making new friends. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run, explore, and enjoy safe, supervised playtime together. Caring for dogs is something my whole family values — every Christmas, we foster a puppy so they don’t have to spend the holidays in a shelter. That same compassion and dedication goes into every dog I look after. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands here!

I always look for a dog sitter who really loves dogs. Matt and his wife are real dog lovers who will care for your dog as though he is their own.

Matthew and his family wonderfully took Gonzo on a last minute request. I got updated with multiple pictures and little write-ups about how he was doing. I am already putting in another request! Thank you all so much!!

Matthew was a great dog sitter. He was friendly and accommodating. My airplane coming home ran very late and at the last minute, Matthew agreed to keep my dog for an extra night. He sent multiple pictures everyday and took my dog on long walks with his dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter or pet sitting experience.

Sending the dogs with Matthew is like sending the dogs with family. The boys are treated with nothing but love and I really appreciate how each booking is prioritized. They really take your dogs and the others that stay with them into consideration!

Schedule

Pet care fits really naturally into my day because I’m home a lot and love having dogs around. I’m able to give plenty of attention throughout the day — from morning walks and playtime to afternoon potty breaks and evening snuggles. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily stick to your dog’s routine or adjust to whatever they need. Since I spend most of my time at home (and my own dogs love the company), your pup will get lots of love, care, and attention while they’re here.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup will feel right at home! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. I stick to their routine for meals, potty breaks, and medications, plus lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is a happy, safe, and comfy environment for every dog.

A typical day

I love to keep your dog happy, active, and engaged — both physically and mentally. We’ll start the day with a nice walk to check out all the exciting sights and smells around the neighborhood. During the day, we’ll play fun games like fetch and tug-of-war to burn off energy. If your pup loves adventure, we’ll explore the big park near my house where they can sniff, stroll, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. And of course, there will be lots of cuddles, praise, and positive attention throughout the day to make sure they feel loved and cared for.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should account for so I can give them the best care possible. My preference is for breeds that are friendly, social, and enjoy regular walks and playtime — but I’m happy to work with pups of all personalities as long as I know what to expect.
