Love dogs of all breeds and sizes!

Pet care experience

Thank you for taking the time to consider me to be the one to watch your fur baby! My name is Matt and I have worked with dogs and other animals for over 10 years, and I currently volunteer at a local shelter. I am deeply committed to taking care of animals, and not just my own dogs. They are all current on their vaccinations, as well as spayed/neutered. I love all breeds and sizes, as well as all ages, though I have a soft spot for senior pets. I can also dispense medications when needed, and am familiar with most pet medicines. I have dog training experience, and I also can handle dogs with anxiety issues and separation issues. Never met a dog that did not love me.

Matthew was so close to our house, charges such affordable prices and was flexible when we needed to drop our dogs a litter bit earlier than appointment time or when we needed to pick them up a little bit later (within the same day). Our dogs were very happy around him, seems like he took good care of them 😃We will definitely rebook every time. Thanks Mathew!

Mathew just recently watched my Hazel. He was very knowledgeable and personable from the initial meet n greet all the way through hazels stay with him. He gave me updates when I asked for them. Hazel was able to get out and play and run around. She came back to me in good spirits. I will be using Mathew again!

Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and has an incredibly sweet and non-reactive dog. He made me feel at peace leaving a pup with him. Highly recommend to anyone!

Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet

Their age and any medical conditions I should be aware of. These are not deterrents to watching them at all, I just wish to be informed beforehand. No breed preferences at all.

A typical day

There are several parks nearby my home that I can take the four legged buddies out for a walk. I also have dogs of my own that love other dogs, so if your dog is friendly as well then they will have several new friends to play with during their stay with me. If house sitting, just tell me what their favorite activity is and I will make sure they get plenty of it.
