Pup parent for pup parents!

Pet care experience

Like you, I adore my dog, Stikla, and I am very particular about who I have watch her while I'm away. I have grown up with dogs my entire life, volunteer at the Richmond SPCA, and cant see my life without being around our fur friends. As someone who works from home full time, I have the unique ability to provide all day supervision in a more than adequate space to watch your best friend (or more depending on the circumstances). By having a fenced in back yard, it allows for more frequent potty breaks and unlimited play time in the backyard. I am a flexible person and don't mind accommodating all types of schedules. Your convenience and peace of mind is what matters to me the most. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon!

Our fur baby was in great hands with Matthew!! Matthew sent daily pictures and kept us up to date daily during our 9 day trip out of the country! Matthew made us feel comfortable, allowing us to meet his own pup and see where our dog would be staying while we were away. We will definitely be using Matthew again!

Awesome! Was able to leave my boi with him overnight with zero issues. Was very thankful to have a place he could stay and play with other dogs while visiting Richmond. Will definitely book with again.

Matthew was great! He was able to watch my pup for me fairly last minute and provided great updates throughout his stay! I’ll definitely be using him again in the future.

Matthew was great! Sent daily pictures, and our dog came home tired from playing with the other dogs. He was also very flexible and accommodating of our changing schedule which was greatly appreciated!

Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet

I always like to learn about new pups who will be staying with me. While there is nothing specific, I always appreciate any heads up information that you feel comfortable providing (e.g., medication, eating habits, etc.)

A typical day

Having my own dog around has been such a blessing for me and all my patrons! If it is a week day, I usually leave my backyard door open and the pups can run around and play in the backyard!
