Mathew took the best care of our two extra large dogs for two weeks while we were out of country. Could not recommend him enough. He sent tons of pictures and took them on walks. Great with communication! He knows a lot about dogs and is a super caring guy!

Our boys were happy staying with Matthew. We received multiple updates each day and our one dog who is normally shy with humans warmed to him very quickly. I would recommend Matthew services and plan to use him again in the future.

My dog Jaeger stayed with Matthew for a week and enjoyed himself. Matthew sent daily updates with pictures and photos. He had great communication and made me feel at ease during my trip. Jaeger loved the all-day access to the backyard to sunbathe and cuddle time anytime he was indoors. I will book again for any future trips!

Matthew did a great job of watching our Great Dane. He sent lots of pictures and our dog settled in with him quickly. Would recommend him.

Matthew was great with my pups, Loki and Yuzu; they had fun chasing squirrels and being cuddle monsters! I really appreciated the pupdates and pictures that Matthew sent, as well, it gave us a lot more peace of mind, plus made us happy to see their waggy little butts! My dog Loki tore his ACL (CCL) just 3 weeks before our trip, and Matthew was very conscientious about making sure Loki didn't injure it further. The dogs were definitely well cared for, and we will be happy to have them stay with Matthew again in the future!

Matthew was awesome with Remi & Jones, he spoiled them and gave them tons of attention. Would definitely recommend and will use him in the future!

Schedule

I work from home and am very flexible allowing me to give your dog(s) all the attention they need or demand!! Haha different routines can be worked out for each furry friend!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure meal(s) are given based on your furry friends need and provide reverse osmosis filter water. Based on the weather a walk (I try to walk the furry friends twice a day!). 24 hour oversight with around the clock restroom access (doggy door) to the fenced in back yard, with a doggy ramp from the porch to the yard. I do take up to three dogs at a time if they come from the same household, I only take one client at a time. I feel it is best for the furry family members not to be in a new environment with other new dogs! If an injury or incident occurs with your furry family member rest assured I am Cat and Dog First Aid certified(American Red Cross - renewed on 20 FEB 2025) and will give them all the care I can until a professional takes over!

A typical day

I love to take our furry friends in walks around the park to let them explore and exercise to keep them healthy! Play time is essential too, whether it be in the back yard or the dog park!
