Highlights
Pet care experience
Over a Decade of Dedicated Dog Care
I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including personally raising and caring for more than 10 adopted dogs. My experience includes providing daily health monitoring, training, and enrichment, as well as caring for special needs dogs, including one who is deaf. I bring patience, compassion, and practical knowledge to ensure every dog’s wellbeing. Starting the 20th, I will be offering exclusive Dog Gym sessions. These include 20–30 minute guided treadmill workouts, individually tailored to your dog’s athletic ability. I train them gently and safely until they’re fully comfortable. I also provide fitness evaluations, including ideal weight recommendations and portion adjustments for optimal results. This structured exercise not only improves health and reduces anxiety it also gives dogs a productive outlet for excess energy, leading to calmer behavior and fewer destructive habits at home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Matt was extremely professional and accommodating. My flight was canceled on the return flight and was not able to pick my dog up. Matt was able to care for him while I made arrangements. Highly recommend using Matt for anyone in need of a dog sitter and will be using Matt's service in the future
Matthew was great with Blue, and took really good care of my baby.
Matthew was exceptional at taking care of our 2 dogs. He was very responsive to messages, sent us updates and pictures, and even had a couple meet ups before our dogs long stay. We highly recommend his service and look forward to having our dogs stay with again.
Had such a great experience with Matthew! Sent me daily reports and was super flexible with pick up! Will definitely be using Matthew in the future. Highly recommend!!!
⸻ Matt was absolutely amazing! He boarded my two Weimaraners over Thanksgiving weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He kept me updated the entire time, and it was clear my dogs were treated like family. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Five stars all the way!
Matt was great with my boys and they seemed to enjoy their time with him very much. Sent pics and texts. He also walked them and played with them in the yard. Would definitely use him again !
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently work from home running my own online stores, which I’ve automated to give me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for dogs, including weekdays and weekends as needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with a secure backyard where dogs can play and take care of their necessities comfortably. My neighborhood is dog friendly and safe, making daily walks enjoyable and convenient. It’s an environment well suited for dogs to feel comfortable, active, and cared for.
A typical day
When dogs stay with me, I focus on providing a balanced mix of activities. Depending on the weather, we go on 1 to 2-hour walks to help them stay calm and happy at home. I also offer treadmill sessions, giving them a great workout and a healthy outlet for their energy. For dogs that love to play fetch, we can enjoy playtime sessions of up to 1 hour, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
