Experienced with all dog types

Pet care experience

I have grown up with and cared for dogs most of my life. Growing up I have looked after multiples dogs at once for friends and neighbors. I have experience working with puppies, geriatric dogs, and giving dogs medicine (ranging from pills to insulin injections). My apartment is dog proofed and has many great places for walks including dog parks. I am home full time with a very flexible schedule to provide attentive care for your furry family members. With my schedule I am able to be with your dog(s) as often as you wish providing plenty of walks and bathroom breaks. I have plenty of toys and beds to keep them entertained and comfortable; plus I keep a wide variety of treats that accomadate any dietary restrictions. I currently have a young dog who can provide extra company when boarding.

Matthew was great! I had to leave early in the morning and accommodated an early drop off time. He sent me a picture of Fluffy on her noon walk. She looked well taken care off when I picked her up that evening. I would leave her there and again and recommend Matthew for anyone looking for someone reliable and dependable.

Matthew watched our dog Lexi for several years! Our dog had diabetes and required injections twice a day. Matt was amazing! He took great care of Lexi and showered her with exercise and love!! Lexi absolutely loved him and we felt completely comfortable leaving Lexi whether it was for a few hours or days in Matthew’s care. Matthew came to our home to take Lexi for walks , administer medication and feed her. We highly recommend Matthew!

Matthew is a very mature and responsible young man whose love of dogs is apparent. My husband and I feel extremely confident leaving our four dogs in his care. It’s such a relief to go on vacation and know that they are able to stay home in their own environment and be in goods hands day and night. We can enjoy our time without having to wonder if they are ok. He has a wonderful connection with dogs.

What kind of toys they enjoy. What kind of treats they enjoy. Are there any dietary restrictions? How often do they like to go for walks? Any breed is fine.

We can go on walks, play fetch, tug-of-war and anything else your dog(s) enjoy. I also live a couple minutes from a dog park.
