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!

Matthew was great with our old dog. He sent lots of pictures of him enjoying his time, I clouding lots of sun bathing on a dog bed in the back yard. We definitely will be booking with Matthew again - very communicative, sweet, and loved on our pup. Thanks Matthew!!

Matthew was superb! Our Missi had a great time exploring his backyard looking for squirrels! She seemed so happy in all of the picture and videos we were sent! I would book with him again!
