I DoorDash and work over Rover so your dogs will get all the attention. Just let me know your exact needs. I want pet owners to know I do have a high anxiety crate that I purchased in the past for pets that are crate trained, and need to be created when I leave so you don’t have to worry about a crate. I can be your full-time dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding i have a small studio but dogs can do whatever they want. Get on couch and bed and sleep on the bed or couch if that’s what they are use to. I can pick up and drop off dogs for boarding depending on location. I am respectful of peoples homes, only follow rules that our laid out for the pet. Clean any messes that are created. Only allow pet to do business where it is allowed and take it on walks and clean up after the pet and dispose of waste where am asked to. Your home will look the same if not better then you left it. I like to clean in my down time. Kinda a busy bee.

Information Matthew O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything your animal needs special to the service being provided, medication, food needs to be put down, i will double check water bowls. Anything else just let me know. If you have a dog with injectable medication as long as you show me what to do I’m more then comfortable doing it.

A typical day

Take them on long walks in the park. If they like car rides and getting puppy lattes i would love to do that with them. I can play fetch with them in your yard or if they are good off leash we can do it somewhere else. Dog walks and lots of time outside. Lots of love for your animals lots of pets and scratches.

Pet care experience

Me and my family have owned a golden since I was young she lived to be 16 took care of her every day. My sister has two dogs that I am asked to watch and take care of frequently. I have worked for a pet training facility for a short period of time but never learned enough about the training side but we would hold onto dogs over night and play with them in the morning. I also boarded a dog to keep it out of the kennel while they looked for a family for it. That’s the black and white husky you see. I love animals and take care of them like they are my own. Will go above and beyond for your pets and homes. I typically take your animals to petsmart to grab a toy if you decide to book a boarding with me :) i relate to dogs with high anxiety and have been told i work well with them. I am slow and steady with them until i gain there trust then we have always gotten along after giving them a little space and letting them get use to me in their home. If you guys have your dog stay at my house and they don’t have problem getting in the shower i can get dog soap and give them a good scrubbing 🧽 😊

Matthew was great! He helped me with short notice, which was greatly appreciated! The pups warmed up to him quickly and were more comfortable because they got to stay home. He had great communication and kept me updated with pics, which I love. I will definitely use Matthew again in the future!

We loved Matt — he took great cares of the figs and the house. I don’t think the dogs missed us. Matt was very good at communicating with us and keeping us posted. Definitely a keeper!

We will always book Matt as our pet sitter in the future—he is truly a gem! We have a senior dog who is typically very wary of strangers, and Matt went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable. He took the time to do a meet-and-greet with all of our pets before the booked stay, which immediately put us at ease. By the time his stay started, it was like he was already part of the family. Throughout his time with our pets, Matt showed incredible care and attention to detail. He followed every instruction to a T, ensuring our senior dog got her medications on time and tailoring his approach to her specific needs. His calm and patient demeanor worked wonders, and it was clear she trusted him completely—a rare and heartwarming sight for us! Matt didn’t just care for the pets; he also left the house spotless. Coming home to a clean home and happy, relaxed pets was such a relief. His thoughtful updates, including photos and notes, were icing on the cake and let us truly enjoy our time away without worrying. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional and trustworthy but also truly compassionate and attentive, Matt is the one to book. We can’t thank him enough and look forward to having him care for our pets again!”
