Lover of all dogs, very attentive!

Pet care experience

I’m living alone and not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to pet and play with dogs. I have a big neighborhood to walk dogs around in and live 2 minutes from Sycamore Dog Park. I grew up with dogs and have been watching and walking dogs for friends and family for many years. I’ve had experience with difficult dogs and I am used to dogs requiring special care (growing up I had a dog that required daily insulin shots). I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like and often find dogs warm up to me very quickly. My house is doggy proofed and while my yard is unfenced, I had a teathered leash that allows for dogs to roam about in my backyard as they please.

Matthew did an amazing job taking care of my puppy after he was neutered. He went above and beyond and even found and removed 2 ticks that were on my dog! He's pretty much my hero and I highly recommend him.

Matthew is great! We had a great meet and greet prior to Jasper's first doggy day care day. Everything went wonderfully perfect! Great communication. Matthew is a very caring person that is all set up for your dog's needs. He had a great little grassy backyard that Jasper loved on his first doggy daycare day and sent some very nice pictures of Jasper playing. I would highly recommend his services, and will be using them again.

Mathew and Topy (7lb,13 yr old male chihuahua) get along great. There is tons of room for the lil guy to run back and forth from the front door and back door to get his workout in and chase toys. Most of the house is carpeted so Topy loves that as well. Mathew has plenty of soft blankets and pillows and even a dog bed if wanted. I am very cautious of Topy chewing or eating stuff in new spaces, but Mathew has grew up with dogs and does his research on whats good and whats not for my lil one.

Matthew LOVES babysitting our pup. He says he "feels honored" every time we ask him, instead of it being a chore. I highly recommend him!

Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but some of my favorite breeds are Pugs, Pitbulls, and Chihuahuas. I would like to know how your dog typically spends their day so as to not to alter their schedule, also knowing what they like and dislike is very helpful as no two dogs are the same.

A typical day

Expansive neighborhood with many routes to walk dogs on. I’m a two minute drive from Sycamore Dog Park. I love to snuggle dogs and often find myself curled up next to them on the floor.
