Matt took excellent care of our two German Shepherds. First time leaving the dogs with a sitter and the dogs were well taken care of, we will have Matt take care of the dogs again.

Barnes had the best time! Always had a little smile on his face in the photos and loved all the toys!

Matthew was fantastic! He took great care of my pup and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would happily book with him again.

Schedule

I work in the school system as a therapist. My schedule can be very flexible with mornings and afternoons. I also have long breaks throughout the school year so always reach out and I’ll try to make it work :)

Safety, trust & environment

My wife and I can tag team care for the dogs that come. She will often come home during lunch to let out Pinot and any Rover dog out for a potty break. There is a trail around Shelley lake nearby our place that is in walkable distance and also plenty of places for me to take them on walks. I have a medium sized crate at my townhome if needed. I love dogs, so I will definitely keep them company and make sure they get the exercise they need!

A typical day

I will do anything that your dog needs! I love going on walks, visiting the lake that is nearby, going to the dog park, and playing with toys inside
