Safety, trust & environment
Your doggos will have a comfy house with two bedrooms & a huge yard. There are also two dog parks that are completely fenced in within blocks of our home. It’s a great neighborhood for a walk as well. The household consists of myself, my girlfriend, and our two friendly cats. If your dog does not like cats, we can absolutely keep them separated.Dogs are allowed on our furniture, and in the bed if you allow that!! We can crate as needed (yours or ours). I always follow the rules you dictate for your dog, and try and limit the amount of stress while with me. We treat them as our own!
Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs, I can be trusted to administer any medications. You don’t have to worry about your furbabies whilst they’re in my care.
A typical day
I’m pretty good at reading dogs & knowing what they need - they will get tons of love and all the exercise (or laziness lol ) that they want!

Never met a dog I didn’t like!
Pet care experience
I love dogs and was Uncle Matt to literally hundreds of dogs at Camp Papillon over about 10 years. I will take the very best care of your babies too! I have had quite a few overnight guest dogs and many are repeat stays. Your dog will be completely comfortable at my house & have a great stay. This I can promise you! Summer is booking up fast so if you’re going on vacation and need somewhere great to take your dog, I’m your guy. Get in touch with me so we can get the ball rolling on their stay. I can most definitely do a meet and greet with your dog beforehand. As for walks, I am available most days - and times - early mornings are tougher, but I take each job ask on a case by case basis, so please don't hesitate to ask! Obviously the earlier notice the better & I don't travel too too far out of the Stroudsburgs area, but again, we can talk about it!

Reviews


Matt was absolutely wonderful! We got married in Bethlehem PA (we live in FL) and I felt so confident my boys were in great hands. Matt was so communicative and sent so many pictures and videos. 100/10 would book with Matt again!

My dog loved Matthew (she was crying when he left after the walk, LOL). He is super knowledgeable about dogs and gave me several helpful recommendations which I appreciated. Thank you Matthew!

‘Uncle Matt’ rocks! Took great care of my pup during a trip I was on. Sent daily pics and videos. Truly awesome experience. Great communication. Will use again.

Matt was SO great with our dog Simba. Simba is pretty nervous about staying with others but settled in right away with Matt. He sent daily photos and videos of Simba which really helped our nerves leaving her for an extended period. Would definitely recommend him and will be booking with him for future trips too!
