Pet care experience

Experienced Pawrents

I had my first Pitbull 16 years ago, I would take her to my gym and hang out all the time. After her, I adopted two little Chihuahua mix. I took the two of them on long walks and they like to cuddle with me at home. Growing up my families have German Shepherd and Mallimois mix. I had first hand expeirence taking care of different breeds of various sizes. Your Babies will be in really good hands :)

Ella loved staying with Matthew and his partner! She normally gets stressed in new environments - but she came back happy and like she had a great time. I really appreciate that they only take 1 dog at a time, have a fenced yard and were communicative with regular photos and updates every day. Would definitely re-book for our future trips

Odie got lots of attention & seemed very happy at pick up! I loved receiving photos during my trip. Matthew & Irene were very responsive to my texts & kept me updated on Odie while I was away. Thanks again!

We had a great first-time experience boarding with Matt & Irene. For our dog it was more like a vacation at a 5-star resort! She was safe, happy, and well looked after, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my trip overseas. I appreciated the updates and I could see how well my dog was treated. Matt & Irene are great sitters and we will use them again.
