Dogs are FAMILY

Pet care experience

My name is Matthew and I'm a resident of Stratford. My experience includes training and working with Labrador retrievers for field trials as well as obedience training which I started doing 15 years ago. I have also had a dog in my life to be my little best friend for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and all animals for that matter. I'm the proud pet parent of a loving and playful yellow Lab along with 2 cats. My interactions with all types of dogs and animals has been great as long as they are not hostile towards strangers. I treat all pets as if they were one of my own. I'm also available to train or help train. Any questions feel free to ask.

Matthew watched our 2 yellow labs, Cosmo and Gemma and we couldn't have been more pleased. Matthew was very accommodating with both picking them up and dropping them off. He checked in periodically and sent pictures. Matthew and his wife brought their yellow lab, Sydney, to meet Cosmo and Gemma prior to their stay and they got along great. We highly recommend Matthew and look forward to using his services again. Thanks for taking care of our pups as you would you own.

Matthew was a very conscientious sitter for our dog Pippa. He checked in with us several times while we were away on a long trip. After meeting him and his wife, we felt confident that Pippa was in good hands while we were gone. He was very responsive to our messages and also flexible with drop off and pick up times. We will definitely use him again in the future.

Is there a way to put 10 stars? Matthew took care of Cali and Maggie a few days ago and I could not be more pleased! He is an absolute doll and treated my dogs as if they were his own. He sent pictures and videos of him playing with them in my yard- I literally could not be happier. He is HIGHLY recommended!!!

Matthew watched Brady over President's Day weekend and it was a great experience! From the very beginning he was great at communicating; he responded promptly and professionally. It was immediately clear that he is very knowledgable about dogs and made sure he knew everything about Brady's normal schedule. From the second we dropped Brady off we knew it was going to be a great fit. I felt completely comfortable leaving Brady in his care. I received multiple pictures and videos of Brady over the weekend and it was obvious that he was one happy puppy! Added bonus: Sydney, Matthew's yellow lab, is the sweetest! She and Brady were able to play all weekend which was great news for us! I highly, highly, recommend using Matthew's services!!
