Welcome to Pooches and Pooches

Pet care experience

I'm here for the pooches. Consider your pup on vacation while you're away. I can promise your dog has a fun day regardless the weather. No sad dogs sitting by themselves, waiting for you to return. I will play, walk, run and roll around with your dog all day long to ensure they are getting the attention and activity they need. I have a large and beautiful backyard that will help ensure even the crustiest of pooches will have a good time. No matter if you have an active dog that likes to play fetch or a timid one who likes to play lap dog, I promise quality care for your sweet pups. *Day care rates cover an 8-9 hours shift, beginning at time of drop off. *Overnight stays cover 24 hours and begin from time of drop off. Minimum of 2 nights required. *Single overnight stays are not available. If you need a single night stay I am willing to book 2, 8 hour shifts of doggy daycare, covering 24 hours of service.

Matt was outstanding with our pup who can be a bit skittish. His warm personality made her at ease right away, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also a huge fan of his outdoor space. Already rebooked! ?

Matthew watched my dog Rosie this past weekend and it was the best experience I could have asked for leaving her for the first time. He kept me posted with updates/ photos and I was confident she was in good hands. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and tired from playing and having such a fun weekend in his backyard! Will definitely be using Matthew again to care for Rosie. Highly recommend his services.

It's a great feeling when you find someone on Rover that you feel has your pets safety and comfort in mind at all times. Matt was a lifesaver! I needed someone relatively last minute and he exceeded every expectation. Matt was incredibly attentive to some rather specific instructions about my dog, who tends to have some anxiety, and has a tendency to escape and run away. Matt sent many updates and pictures, which is always a huge plus, especially for trips longer than a few days. It was clear that my dog had a great time with Matt. Zero hesitation saying that I will be booking Matt for any future dog watching scenarios.

We have a dog-aggressive pitt and it is difficult for us to find sitters that we know will keep our girl safe. Matthew addressed all our concerns ahead of time and provided the perfect environment for Layla to be comfortable while we were away. His calm demeanor kept us calm, usually we’re very worried while we are out of town. Great communication/updates, and flexible on drop off/pick up time. We will definitely be back when needed.
