At my home, I take the dogs out for a walk or hike in the morning, feed them at noon and take them to the park around 1:30 for a play and socialize with other dogs.

I have known Matthew for nineteen years now and consider him one of my dearest and most cherished friends, so these words will come easy. Matthew is easily one of the most thoughtful, responsible, intelligent and kind people in my circle of friends... He is constantly striving to better himself, despite already being one of the best people that I know. He is the godfather to my daughter and, when we had a dog, was our first choice for pet sitting when we went out of town for extended periods. As someone who loved his own dog with every bit of my heart, I understand how difficult it can be to trust in someone new to take care of your pet for you. But I also understand that it can be tough to be there for your pet given a modern work schedule and the Vancouver area commute. That said, you need not have any concern with Matt. He is patient and attentive: qualities that will make him the best and most trustworthy individual to care for your dog. He has had two dogs over the course of the time that I've known him and has shown himself to be exemplary with them at every turn.

Matthew is reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs. He’s patient, attentive, and treats every pup like family. I’d absolutely trust him with my own dogs anytime.

Matthew is a compassionate and experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals and the outdoors. He has provided loving homes to dogs with trauma, showing incredible patience, care, and dedication in helping them feel safe and supported. Energetic, responsible, and deeply empathetic, Matthew brings both reliability and warmth to every pet he cares for. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with him.

I wake up early, walk the dog directly after breakfast and make sure to get an additional park play in the afternoon. I work from home and ensure it's balanced around proper care for the dog.
