Thankful for Matt! We had to leave the area for two nights and last minute reached out to see if he had the availability for our two dogs. We were able to do a meet and greet with his dog that very next day and everything went well. His communication was great and he sent photo updates throughout the stay to check in which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!!

This was our third time booking with Matthew for Phoenix, and at this point I honestly can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else. Finding someone you fully trust with your dog is rare, and Matthew consistently gives us complete peace of mind every single time. Phoenix is always so well taken care of, happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while he’s there. You can tell Matthew genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and it makes such a difference. We also really appreciate the updates, communication, and overall reliability throughout every stay. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we trust this much with Phoenix, and we’ll absolutely continue booking with him in the future. Highly, highly recommend.

Matthew was very communicative and flexible with the booking. We felt very comfortable to leave Yuuko with him after the meet and greet. Yuuko had a great time with Matthew and the doggies! Definitely would book again.
