Thanks Matthew for your help while we were out of town. It looked like from the photos you sent that Max and Luna enjoyed the time with you. Look forward to you helping out in the future

Matt is a very responsible, dependable, trustworthy, and caring with my 2 dogs! My dogs can’t wait for him to come back next time. He even sent me pictures of his interaction with them. You can tell he really enjoys and loves animals. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I have been caring for dogs most of my life. I have a dog friendly home with brick fenced yard and a dog door for small to medium sized dogs.

A typical day

I love to interact and bond with the dog. Make them feel comfortable around me, playtime, walking and keeping the dog happy. Even as simple as simple as cuddling, holding and petting!
