I had a family emergency and needed to fly to west coast immediately. Matthew responded to my request quickly and was able to start sitting within a few hours. Matthew and his wife Hannah took excellent care of my little Theo who has health issues even picking up and administering his medication. Matthew sent me multiple videos every day. Apartment was perfect when I got home and Theo was happy. I highly recommend Matthew and Hannah and so grateful to them for helping me.

Matthew did a great job taking care of our dog. He showed up on time, made sure Hank got his walk, and gave him the special care that you would expect from a family member. We highly recommend him.
