Pet care experience

Home Full-Time Dog Lover 🐶

Hey! My name’s Matt and I’m a full time student online. I grew up watching my family’s dogs, cats, birds and fish. I also volunteered at my local ASPCA. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of attention, treats and cuddles while I’m busy at my computer. I have a large yard and trail for walks/exercise. I do have a 14 year old dog named Benny who likes to sleep and lounge around during the day. He’s very friendly and respectful, but if your dog prefers alone time, I have a separate bedroom with windows and a nice view.

Matthew was *fabulous*. Moosh had a fantastic time with him while she was on vacation and he kept us updated the entire time. He was even gracious about us being a little late getting back. Absolutely will be working with him again. Thanks again, Matthew!

Matthew responded quickly when we needed a dog sitter last minute and then when we had to extend our stay he was super accommodating! I highly recommend his services.
