Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Matt enough for dog sitting! My dog Oliver absolutely loves him! Matt took amazing care of him while I was away, making sure he was well-fed, exercised, and most importantly, loved. I got regular updates and photos that showed just how much fun Oliver was having. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, kind, and clearly love dogs, Matt is great!
Even before Matt started professionally working with dogs, he was always a “dog whisperer.” Not only is he the best dog walker and pet sitter around, he’s also the best dog trainer too! He understands their needs and also understands that dog training is not always a one size fits all. He pays attention, he picks up on behaviors, and he assesses each dog just like a therapist assesses each of their human patients. He’s a big believer in positive reinforcement and that’s why we know he’s the only person we really trust working with our dog. There’s no yelling, no shock collars, no clicker training, just being patient and giving our dog the space he needs to get his nervous jitters out and letting him grow to actually trusting Matt. With positive reinforcement techniques, Matt is one of the only people our dog has let go near him without getting nervous or anxious! Matt is truly one of a kind and I can’t recommend him enough! ❤️
