I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!

Information Matthew O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any needs in advance. I would love to do a meet and greet to meet you and your pet to make sure you are comfortable. Please reach out to me :)

A typical day

We’ll go on a morning, afternoon, and night walk, with at least two of the walks being longer. I love taking dogs to the dog park to let them run, touch the grass, and roll around. At home, I would make sure we play together- fetch, tug of war, give lots of pets and yummy treats.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me!

Matt did a great job with our dog. I will definitely use again!

Matt was the perfect caregiver for my golden retriever. From a puppy to her senior years, Matt’s calm personality and attention to detail was great for both me and my beloved dog. Whether it’s a vacation or a sitting for the afternoon, Matt was always reliable and dependable.

Matt watched my senior dog while I was on vacation and he made us feel at ease by sending us regular updates and pictures of our dog happily playing or just relaxing. Our dog has a sensitive stomach and Matt kept to her diet and supplements. Our dog just loved Matt's easy going personality and all the cuddles he gave her. We loved his responsiveness and his genuine love of dogs.

Matt has dog sat my golden before, and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving her in his hands. He’s attentive, patient, and incredibly loving, taking the time to understand my dog’s personality and specific needs. Most importantly, Matt is reliable, communicative, and kind, which naturally translates into excellent customer service and a calm, trustworthy presence. He sends daily updates with pictures and videos, which always puts me at ease knowing my dog is happy and well cared for. He truly treats both people and pets with genuine care and respect.
