Mushing maniac and pet whisperer.

Pet care experience

My family and I raised over 6 puppies since serving in the United States Coast Guard. I came back home because of my love of the river and it's beautiful seasons. We are the go too pet sitters in our family because of our love and passion for all size pets and critters.

Can’t thank you guys enough for taking Millie for the day! We loved the photos from her day, I can tell she had a great time, she’s passed out from her adventure! Very flexible and caring! Thank you!

For as long as I have known Matt (which has been a long time) he has been a dog lover. He has had many dogs of his own and is very invested in them. He is knowledgeable and loving not only for his own pack but for every dog he comes in to contact with. He is respectful, flexible, and loves to romp around with any four legged friend. Any time I need he helps me with my dogs and they absolutely love him. He would take my dog swimming, running, he’d throw the ball for him, and love on him like his own. Matt is personable and sets good boundaries with pups and is happy to work with them. My dogs love him and I know yours will too!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge 150ft by 50ft fenced in yard. At night all the dogs sleep in crates. In the morning all dogs are leashed and taken to the dog yard one at a time to potty and get out the zoomies. Dogs are also fed separately so no fights for food breakout. We can work out anything you want. Please let us know if there are any special needs.

Information Matthew J. would like to know about your pet

If you plan on boarding your dog here I just ask that you give me an honest assessment of your dogs emotional and mental behavior. I take great legths to make sure all dogs stay safe here at River Fever.

A typical day

During the summer I love getting to any beach that will allow dogs. Swimming is good for any dogs health from a puppy to a senior. During the winter I like to load all the dogs in the truck and go to a local trail and dogsled. It makes the winters go by fast. If you or your dog are interested I have additional equipment to see if it's a good fit before you buy your own gear.
