Availability
I work from home in a spacious home with a fenced yard, so I’m readily able to accommodate a pup’s needs be it a walk or fetch.

About Matthew S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and roomy interior. My parents are both in medicine and this rubbed off on me as a lifeguard and later a wilderness first responder. Though I know first response, I’ve since hung up the gloves for life on the keyboard
Home
Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate any special care your dog may need. Let me know ahead of time, and I’ll be happy to accommodate. During the stay I’m also easily reachable for updates or staying informed if needed
A typical day
I’m a big walker and there’re a lot of great open spaces in the neighborhood for roaming. Around the home there’s plenty of room for fetch or rest, whatever’s needed

Caring, Empathetic Animal Caretaker
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, all in a family of 5 siblings. I’ve worked alongside vets internationally for a non profit. My care for animals matches my care for others—I strive to treat everyone and everything the way I’d expect to be treated.
Reviews
Matt was great with dog Hazel and her special needs. He helped keep up with her training, administered medicine and took time to play tug with her. His home has an expansive back yard (by Palo Alto standards) for Hazel to explore and stretch her legs. I would love to board Hazel with Matt in the future.
Easy to communicate with, timely drop off, and it looks like my dog had a good time hanging in the yard
Matthew was easy to work with and was available when we needed him- Our pup loved him and we 'll be using him again! Thank you Matthew!!!!
Matthew is a great caretaker to Benny. He had fun and had a great time with Matthew. I ran out of dog food and Matthew offered to get more while I was out of the country. Definitely will use Matthew again.
