There’s no dog too energetic!

Pet care experience

I’ve raised and trained dogs since I was 5. I watched neighbors dogs and houses while they were on extended trips out of the state.

Excellent communication before and during stay. My two dogs stayed for two nights. They were well taken care of and had a great time.

From day one, Mathew was responsible, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about Scrappy. He sent me a photo and a quick update every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Scrappy looked happy and well taken care of in every picture. I would absolutely trust Mathew again in the future.

I treat all animals with the same love and care I do my own. I typically take dogs out every 2-4 hours depending on size and energy level. Outside door are never left unlocked, even when home. And the door doesn’t open unless the dog is on a leash or locked up.

Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet

What is your dogs temperament to small creatures while on a walk? Are they easily excited by cars and other animals? Any allergies? And dislikes?

A typical day

Some of my favorite activities involve dogs. Going on walks or runs gives both of us the fresh air and energy release we need. Letting a dog feel the breeze, through a cracked window, during a car ride. I live about 5 minutes from a great walking trail.

I own a dog and 3 cats and I work full time in a bakery. Majority of my working hours are in the morning and I am off before noon. This gives me most of the day to interact with and tire out my pets. I get an hour break which I use to feed the animals breakfast and take them for walks. I like to take my dog to the park every other day.
