Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable Friendly Pet Care
Matt has spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. His experience ranges from helping family and friends with their pets to caring for animals on a working farm, where consistency and attention to detail matter every day. Matt & Jeremy provide home to their pack including mini blue heeler, Riff, and five cats. Living with a mix of energetic and independent personalities has taught us that every animal communicates differently. Some want to play, some want to explore, and some simply appreciate a calm, familiar presence. Our goal is not to treat every pet exactly the same, but to understand and provide what helps yours feel safe, comfortable, and content.

Safety, trust & environment
For walks, we carry water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, treats when approved, and basic first-aid supplies. Arizona weather requires extra care. We pay close attention to pavement temperatures, direct sun, signs of overheating, and how each dog is handling the conditions. During the summer, we strongly prefer early morning walks and may adjust the pace, route, or amount of outdoor time when needed. We don’t measure a successful walk by distance alone. Exercise matters, but so do sniffing, curiosity, mental stimulation, and letting dogs enjoy being dogs. Our goal is not simply to wear your dog out. It is to help them return home comfortable, content, and revitalized. During drop-in visits, Matt always takes care to follow instructions, secure doors and gates, refresh food and water, and leave your home as it was found. You’ll also receive photos and a clear update after each visit.
Ratings and reviews
Matt is great! He was responsive and always sent pictures. He enjoys animals and you can tell that your babies are being cared for.
Lily our terrier mix had a great stay with Matthew. She was well cared for and came home happy. I’ll use Matthew again.
Matthew was awesome with Paris and Sushi! He kept me updated during my travels, took really great care of my babies and even baked for them on my doggies birthday. Above and beyond service!
We loved Matthew! Our dogs have a new buddy!! He was super great with all three of them. We will ask Matthew to watch them every time we are in the Phoenix area.
Xena was well takin care of
I’ve know Matt for over 10 years. In that time he’s watched our houses and cared for our children (4 dogs and 3 cats) on countless occasions. Matt is gentle, caring, and emotionally in tune with their needs. I have no reservations whatsoever about trusting Matt with our loved ones. You’re awesome Matt! And a great friend too! 🥰❤️

Schedule
Matt is available most weekdays and select weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays with some notice. For walks specifically, early morning availability is often best during the warmer months, though evening visits may also be possible depending on the weather and your pet’s needs. Matt can offer assistance with walks, potty breaks, clean up, feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, brushing, medication according to your instructions, and other parts of your pet’s established routine. We are especially comfortable with repeat visits and regular walking schedules - familiarity helps both pets and people feel more at ease.
