Pet care experience

Your pet’s next bestie!

Manhattan, Brooklyn & Queens! Open for long stays as well as short. Animals are my life! I grew up on a farm with all types of animals. At home, I grew up with cats and dogs. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 14, 2026

Matthew took great care of Frankie and kept us updated all day! He sent lots of pictures and made sure to ask for the details on his routine, which was closely followed. It was clearly important to him that Frankie was comfortable and happy which we so appreciate !

Boarding • Aug 16, 2026

Matthew and Maycon took amazing care of our baby. She was so excited to see them again and ran right up to them. They responded to messages immediately and supplied pictures throughout Cardinals stay. We highly highly recommend you letting them care for you fur babies as well.

Esther had a fantastic time with Matthew & Maycon, and we will definitely be booking them again! They were prompt at replying and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with her, and we’re so gratified to have found Esther sitters who she is very comfortable and at ease around.

Boarding • May 07, 2026

Matthew and Maycon were tremendous. They were responsive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout Duncan’s stay. They were also incredibly understanding of my stress as a dog dad leaving his pup with sitters for the first time. I could tell Duncan was comfortable and well cared for, which meant so much to me. Matthew and Maycon were kind, competent, easy to work with, and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Dog Walking • May 01, 2026

Once again, Matthew and Macon were amazing. I’m a nervous dog dad getting used to having Duncan walked and cared for by other people, and they have been really sweet and understanding!

Safety, trust & environment

We are a small, personalized family operation with limited bandwidth, and we prioritize caregiving over "pitching and selling" our services. If you want to get a sense of what your dog’s experience would be like, you can get a good picture by reading our profile and our reviews from dog parents like you (many are very recent). We do not give in-person tours of our home. If you’d like to know what it looks like, please ask for photos. Meet and greets are only offered after a booking is confirmed. (The only exception is if the stay is 10 days or more or for house siting requests.) Such interactions tend to be short and don’t give us any real opportunity to bond with the dogs nor predict fit. We believe we have more than enough information provided on our profile that makes such arrangements unnecessary. Sometimes dog owners want to do an overnight boarding as a test before leaving their dogs with us over a longer period of time. You're welcome to do so, but it’s not a requirement by any means.

A typical day

There is nothing more fun than playing with a dog, whether it be running around in a park, playing with their favorite toy, or just having a cuddle puddle. I always like to take a dog I walk by the water or all around the closest park to remind the dog (and myself) that there’s more to this city than concrete and skyscrapers

Your pet will have tons of love and attention. I have a beautiful park a few blocks away from me as well as fenced dog playground nearby. It’s important that I know what your pet loves and hates along with any special care or needs.
