Information Matthew L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any special routines, medications, dietary needs, fears, or behaviors ahead of time. I adjust my care style to each pet to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.

A typical day

If the dog likes to wrestle I'm always up to play with them. As well as some good tug of war. Then of course some fetch for the ball lovers.

Matthew again provided excellent care and communication. He’s an amazing help for us, especially with our high-energy bird dog. He is our go-to sitter.

Matt and Nyx made Eliza feel right at home and kept her entertained and well-loved during her stay! I was so grateful to know she was safe and happy, and super appreciated the updates and pics while I was gone. Eliza already can't wait for next time. <3

Matt had our pup for longer than he’s ever spent away from us. He’s you and requires a lot of exercise , and Matt took great care of him. He was an excellent communicator and clearly has a way with dogs. We will gladly leave Walt with him again. Thanks Matt!

Matt has watched both my dogs before and he is so good with them! He’s patient and is really good at watching for body language with the pups to make sure everything is going smooth. My dogs love him!
