My schedule is flexible outside of my work hours, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your dog’s routine. While I currently have the most availability on weekends, I can also accommodate evening walks and drop-in visits during the week.

About Matthew J.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay. I’ll keep a close eye on them, make sure they’re comfortable and settled, and give them a safe and loving environment to enjoy. My dogs are friendly, social, and love meeting other dogs. They have experience being around other pups and have never caused issues or fights at dog parks. I’ll always make sure every dog feels comfortable and respected, while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime.

Information Matthew J. would like to know about your pet

I want both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and accommodate their individual needs, preferences, and personality. Please let me know about anything that will help your pup feel more comfortable, such as feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, fears, or special instructions. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog, while keeping you updated and reassured that your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.

A typical day

While your dog is with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks, giving them a chance to get some exercise and explore. We’ll also have plenty of playtime, whether that’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, or enjoying their favorite toys. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, play, relaxation, and cuddles. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with me to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home!

Dog owner who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m currently a proud dog owner of a 30-lb Lab/Corgi mix and a 70-lb German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My German Shepherd is currently recovering from an injury after an accident where he jumped from my second-story balcony. He is in the process of having surgeries and recovering, which has given me even more experience with providing careful, attentive care, following recovery instructions, and making sure a dog feels safe and comfortable while healing. I’m happy to stop by and give your dog the attention and exercise they need, including walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during my visit, and I’m also happy to send photos and videos so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away.

I would highly recommend Matt as a dog walker/sitter. He is a true animal lover and takes excellent care of his dogs. Matt is very responsible and reliable. When I have had the time to see Matt at the dog park, he goes above and beyond to play with his dogs and every other dog there. He treats every animal as if it were his own with great care, respect and love.
