Safety, trust & environment
Dog safety was my main responsibility at our boarding kennel. Learning their body language, behaviors, and quirks is essential for gaining an animals trust and comfort.
Ratings and reviews
Never a doubt that our "kids" are well cared-for and pampered! Matt has an innate feel for all animals, it's a real gift of his. And the house was in good shape too. Highly recommend!
He watched my dogs at my house for 10 days and he was great! Communicated often and sent pictures of my boys. I will definitely use Matthew again in the future.
Matthew was incredible with our pup, Lupe! We were a bit nervous to leave her with someone that wasn't already a close friend, but Lupe took to Matthew instantly. He sent us regular updates so that we could see how well he was caring for her, and when we returned, it was evident that he had kept up with her training without our asking. We would not hesitate to book Matthew again, and neither should you!
I cannot say enough good things about Matthew in general, and regarding pets in particular! He comes from a long line of dog lovers, cat lovers, guinea pig lovers ... He has cared for our own "zoo" (2 small dogs and an orange tabby) on multiple occasions over the years, and loves them like family. Also, he worked for a number of years at a very reputable Golden Doodle breeder in Hillsborough, and so he has a whole other, deeper layer of what taking care of dogs look like and requires. You might say he's a trained professional! Personally, he is kind, warm, easy-going, with a lovely dry sense of humor. Very trust-worthy. I think Rover customers (I am one of them, by the way!) will be really fortunate to have Matthew taking care of their much-loved pets. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I've spent 4 years working directly with animals, providing care, medications, cleaning, and training. I am fascinated by animals and nature, and always find myself wondering what they are thinking.
