All paws deserve love!

Happy to walk, feed, play with, and give medications to your fur family when you're unable to. We have 3 dogs who love to hike, camp, go on walks, play at the beach, chase leaves flying thru the air and get as many cuddles as they can. We have a blue mearle golden doodle, a pit terrier mix, and a maltipoo. Our doodle puppy is a ball of never ending energy who loves learning new tricks, running zoomies around any chance he gets and playing in the ocean. Waffles - our pit terrier has had knee surgery on both kness, has arthritic hips, and has had several cancerous tumors removed. Despite all that, she still loves going on walks, hiking, camping and of course trying to catch EVERY snow flake :). Our maltipoo has both seasonal and food allergies which means he has special shampoo, creams, and wipes for his hot spots and also takes allergy pills. I have given various types of different medications (topicals, oral, shots) over the years and am comfortable in doing so. We love taking our pups on hikes, trail walks, to dog parks, training classes, pet friendly stores & restaurants.

Dog Walking • Jun 16, 2022

Matt is a gold medal dog walker and human being. I trusted him with my dog and my home for months. He was dependable and my girl LOVED him. The only reason we gave him up is because we moved out of state. I honestly can't say enough good things about him and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a friendly, trustworthy, professional dog walker.

Matthew took excellent care of our kitties, Buddy and Tigger while we were away! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that the cats were being well taken care of including their medications. Everything was. nice and neat and tidy when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Matthew to care for your pets.

I recently started a new job and have a two hour round-trip commute. Knowing that my senior dog Rocco is happy and in good hands with Matt has eased my worries about leaving him alone. Without hesitation, Rocco and I highly recommend Matt!

We hired Matt to walk our dogs. He said an amazing job. He send us photos from his visit and kept us informed throughout the day. I would highly recommend Matt.

What does your dog enjoy doing? Do they prefer cuddles and playing with their favorite toys inside or do they like to get outside and enjoy nature on a woodsy walk and a hike? Would your pups enjoy a swim in the water during the warmer seasons, or would they rather just a walk around your neighborhood with all their familiar and comforting scents. Does your dog enjoy being around other 4 legged friends or are they more of a people person? Do they have a favorite toy they enjoy playing with or is there something that they are more sensitive to and would rather not do or be around.
