16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m available for local dog walks, drop-in visits, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, longer walks, and dogs who need extra exercise, companionship, or consistency. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s routine and making sure they get the time, care, and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking, training cues, and routines. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and keep dogs properly leashed at all times. In your home, I respect your space and make sure your dog feels calm, secure, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different breeds and energy levels, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.

Information Matthew K. would like to know about your pet

I would like an understanding of the dogs energy level, any specific needs or disabilities before engaging with a dog, or cat so I can provide the best service to the pet as well as the owner

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs, running around in the yard, throwing a frisbee, playing fetch and using a dogs favorite toy to make sure they have a blast with me.

Experienced, loving dog care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs of many breeds and personalities for over 15 years. I truly love dogs and have been exposed to everything from high-energy pups to calm, senior dogs. I also have hands-on experience helping train and work with dogs at a local animal shelter, which taught me patience, structure, and how to read dog behavior. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after losing my own dog this year, caring for other dogs means even more to me. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, attention, consistency, and respect for their routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, or just companionship, your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for.

Matt did a great job care for my two large dogs and house while we were away for two weeks. He was great at giving updates and communications.

Matt is great: good communicator, punctual and flexible. My shy dog warmed up to him very quickly too.
