Highlights
Pet care experience
RELIABLE & EXPERIENCED 🐾 24/7 love
I‘m a dog lover first, and dog photographer second, so you’ll receive daily high quality (often edited) pictures & video updates. My full-time job is taking care of your pup (and doing science experiments with my dog-loving 6yo son). Our house is super dog friendly, clean and safe! Dogs have always been my favorite part of life; they’re not just pets/companions, but family members with a unique relationship we don’t find anywhere else in this world. Taking care of them & making them comfortable is a job duty I assigned myself as a child. Our home is in a very safe neighborhood, with families always walking around. Whether your pet needs some serious playtime or serious relaxing, they'll find it here. My dog is just as happy to run and play as she is to lounge and nap, so no matter what your pets energy level, they’ll have a companion :) Why I love dog sitting I cannot remember a time when I didn't have a dog, nor when I wasn't fascinated with snapping pictures of them, trying to capture that moment that makes you say "That's SO my dog!" My parents are both adament canine-lovers and I've grown up with dogs big and small, active and lazy, outgoing and timid. About my yard We've got a wonderful backyard that's completely fenced in, and there is a large grass area as well as nooks and crannies throughout for playing, exploring & chasing. My experience administering medication Absolutely. I've had many puppies, and many older dogs, and am completely comfortable taking care of any medical issues - I generally have a way of calming down most dogs and have no problem with any form of administrable medicine.

Ratings and reviews
Matthew it is a great feeling and peace of mind knowing that Jagger is well cared for and loved in his “away” home! I absolutely love the pictures and videos you send to brighten my day! Thank you!
Our pup seemed to have a great time with Matthew and his son! He came home exhausted and happy, and we appreciated the photos and updates. We’d recommend!
Indy came home relaxed and tired, so I know he had a good day! Matthew is kind and easy to communicate with. We’ll be rebooking soon.
Tilly loved her time with Mathew! She looked like she didn’t really want to leave :) He helped her socialize with other dogs and I got videos and pics of her playing in the yard and napping with the other dogs! Lots of updates and great communication I could see she was wonderfully taken care of and had tons of fun.
Matthew provided a loving place for Ethan to be while we were away and was very communicative with updates and photos.
Matthew was so wonderful. He sent fantastic photos throughout my dog’s stay along with daily updates. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and happy with him! This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and Matthew made it a great experience. I will use him for all my pet sitting needs moving forward and both my dog and I can’t recommend him enough!

I am here for your dog. Always available for attention, walks or ear scratches. When my kiddo’s here, we play all day, when he’s not, there’s lots of lounging on the couch.

Pets
A typical day
We're in the middle of a great area, close to parks, trails and plenty of safe areas to wander or race around in. We also have a large backyard and a dog that will happily play chase until everyone (myself included sometimes) is ready for a nap. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Anywhere they please (or anywhere YOU please) - This will be their home for as long as they're here. They can have their pick of the couches, comfy chairs, or one of the many dog beds...and then there's also any portion of the king size bed if'n they prefer a bundled up, cozy evening :) Time I'll spend with your dog: As much time as your dog wants! I work out of the house and am constantly playing with our (and your) dogs in the backyard, walking them around the neighborhood, photographing play sessions, sleepy time or dinner, and giving all the ear-scratches and belly-rubs I can!
