Pet care experience

Easy-going, reliable animal-lover!

We both grew up around dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits in a house overflowing with people, pets, and our love for them. We truly believe that they are our best friends, and love treating them as such, getting to spend time with them, and making sure they are comfortable, happy, and healthy. We are both very comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments.

Matthew and his girlfriend Kelly were absolutely incredible hosts for our girl Lily!!! They are clearly folks who deeply love dogs, and Lily could feel that immediately - they were fast friends and Lily felt immediately at home. They sent frequent and valuable updates and went above and beyond when she had a little bit of an upset stomach from something prior to her stay. We would be so glad to have Lily stay with them anytime there is a need in the future! Thank you so much!!!

Kelly and Matthew were absolutely wonderful caretakers of our pup. We got plenty of updates and photos and they were flexible with pick up and drop off when our schedule shifted. Will book again!

Matthew and Kelly were wonderful dog sitters. Nali didn’t even want to leave! I will definitely be using them again.

Schedule

I work nights, so I am available for mid-day walks or pre/post-work care but I live with my girlfriend, Kelly who works a typical schedule and is more than happy to help with arranging pick up and drop off. There will always be someone around for your pet to hangout with!

Safety, trust & environment

I can care for your pet in the comfort of your own home, or in my Park Slope apartment. I am happy to learn what your pet specifically needs as part of its care, and to make sure that’s attended to.

A typical day

We love to go for a long walk to get fresh air, explore our neighborhood, and get some exercise. We would also take the dog to prospect park or a dog run (if that’s something they enjoy) and play fetch and socialize with other dogs.

Matthew can host up to 1 pet per night
I’d like to know what the pet likes to do, what the dog’s personality is like, if it has any particular health issues, and what it likes to eat. I’d love to be able to get to know the dog personally and care for it in a way specific to them.
