Pet care experience

I'm high energy and can keep up with even the most hyper dog. I've had dogs my entire life and they play an enormous role in my life. My wife works from home during the week, so someone will always be able to be here for your dog. Fantastic communicator and will happily text you pictures for peace of mind whenever you ask. Responsible adult who can provide references if needed. We love dogs of all sizes and will be sure that your fur baby is well taken care of, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!

I thought I had left a review last year. Matthew did a fantastic job watching our highly energetic one year old dog last year. Thanks for putting up with our Kimi.

Matt, Rachel and their super friendly dog, Luca, really helped us out with our energetic and excitable Brittany, Kimi. We were vacationing with family that had never been to Maine so we couldn’t always bring our dog. Matt was able to be flexible with the days. Matt and Rachel knew how to manage our pup who was always eager to go back the next day. I highly recommend Matthew for dog daycare.
