Safety, trust & environment

I’ve got a backyard that’s a 'pawsome' playground, fully fenced and ready for adventure! My home is like a dog’s dream come true, backing up to a vast trail system that we stroll through daily—it's like a doggy amusement park out there! Your pup would fit right in with our family, where belly rubs and tail wags are the main entertainment. I’m all ears (and paws!) for any routine you’ve got in mind to help your furry friend feel as comfy as possible. Let's make their stay a howlin’ good time!

Pet care experience

I've been pawsitively spoiling all kinds of pups for over 20 years, 3 years on Rover! Whether it’s neighbors, family, or friends, whenever they needed a paw-some pet sitter to walk, feed, or fuss over their furry companions, I’ve been there. We can't wait to meet your doggo and give them the same tail-wagging treatment while you’re away!

Lloyd had a wonderful extended stay with Matthew and his family. We love how much exercise he gets there, Matthew takes him on long walks while cross country skiing. We also like that he can interact with kids (yay for extra cuddles) and their dog, Lulu. We would definitely book with Matthew again.

Lloyd had his first sleepover at Matthew’s house. He got lots of fresh air and exercise. Matthew was responsive when I checked in and it gave me peace of mind knowing Lloyd was well taken care of.

Mathew and his wife took excellent care of our 4 1/2 yr old yellow lab. We were truly able to enjoy our time away not worrying about him. I highly recommend them.
