Dublin Puppy Hideaway

Pet care experience

My name is Matt and this is my fiancé Lena. We are the ultimate dog lovers and are so excited to help take care of your furry friends. We were both raised around dogs and can't imagine life without them! I have been a dog owner/friend to Bella my American Bulldog for a little more than 9 years before she lost her fight to cancer in 2019. As a child, I was raised with a variety of dogs and always had at least two around the house at any given time. Being raised in the Midwest, we primarily had big dogs (The biggest Shane was a Black Lab/German Shepard at 140lbs) and they just loved to run on our family farm. All of my previous dog companions were extremely well trained and I often help friends and family with setting up what I call their people training routines. By growing up with a wide array of breeds, I have a love for all dogs from Chihuahuas to Bullmastiffs. No dog is too big or small. We don't have a backyard but live in an extremely dog-friendly neighborhood with several parks, trails and open space around us. If your pup loves to play fetch or likes to snooze in the sun on our deck, they will absolutely love being spoiled here with Lena and I. I have the flexibility of working from home and Lena is usually home from work by the early afternoon so know that your dog will be getting round-the-clock attention and care. We look forward to welcoming your pups into our home!

Matthew and Lena are Apollos new favorite rover sitters! They really welcomed their home to our 9 yr old golden doodle and treated him like one of their own. I loved the photo updates and long walks they took him on. He seemed like one happy dog! We’d love to use them again in the future. Thanks again!

Matt and Lena boarded our dog, Jackson, for a week while we were away. We did a trial night the week before to make sure it was a good fit and that Jackson felt comfortable. They took great care of our boy who can be complicated with reactivity and needing to go potty more often. They also played fetch with him, his favorite activity. We received updates with photos and Jackson looked so happy! Thank you, Matt and Lena!

Matt & Lena took great care of our 60lb wiggly lab mix. We got regular updates and he had a great time in their care. Absolutely going to reach out to them again anytime we can’t take our pup with us.
