Loving Sitter-Quiet Home Big Yard🐾
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Matt, I’ve cared for pets for over 20 years, and I would love to take care of your dog! I’m home all day, enjoy spoiling my doggie guests with affection, and have a large home and yard for lots of play😁 I have a friendly cavadoodle of my own, please only reach out if your pup gets along with others. I’m free anytime on the weekends and am happy to accommodate any scheduling needs. I enjoy getting exercise with my dog guests in the morning by playing in the yard, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or taking a beach walk if allowed. Rest of the day is more play with me and my dog or if your pup prefers to lounge and relax after a ruff day, I can set them up to hangout with me separately while my dog relaxes in my spare room. I have a very large, clean, safe and secure home and yard for dogs. I have ample space indoors, doggy beds available, and am happy to accommodate dogs health needs as requested. I also live 5 minutes away from a 24 hour vet and have experience in identifying potential medical issues with dogs🏥
Reviews
Matt was easy going, communicated well prior to booking, responded in a timely fashion when contacted. He asked appropriate questions beforehand to ensure we would both feel the booking would be a good fit. I felt comfortable with Matt having my large senior dog during the July 4th weekend, when fireworks may compound any anxiety my dog had. He was comfortable with medication administration. He was also sensitive to my dog's instability on hardwood floors, and put down rugs to make my dog more comfortable. When I picked Oda up, he was all smiles with a wagging tail. I would definitely recommend Matt to others, and look forward to hopefully booking him again in the future!
Michael was great! He made me feel completely comfortable leaving Diego for a couple hours and even immediately started playing with him once we arrived. He was also very accommodating with some last minute scheduling changes.
Matthew and his significant other were total life savers during an occasionally unpredictable week for me. They were great with Reaux & super understanding and flexible when things came up at work that required me to go in earlier or come home later. Matthew texted an update during the day with a picture of Reaux. He also was very gracious when Reaux peed on his rug. This was an amazing River experience!!!
Matthew was amazing. He was able to accommodate us last minute. He sent me updates and pictures of my pup. I highly recommend him if you are in need of any dog boarding!
About Matthew T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When a dog arrives, I like to show them lots of affection and give them some sort of treat from their owner to help build some companionship. I then like to give them a tour of the home like I would a human lol... Most dogs love sniffing around my large fenced yard and I always make sure to accompany them so that they can get used to me keeping an eye on them. From there, I usually like to be in the same room as my dogs at all times unless they are taking a nap on the couch and or want their alone time :)

Information Matthew T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special medical and or anxiety needs. I can take care of small - medium sized dogs and would love to learn how I can make your dog comfortable in my home.
A typical day
I enjoy getting to know your dog’s personality, gaining their trust, and developing a fun relationship with them. Between the 5 or 6 parks surrounding me, the beach down the street, my home, and large yard, there’s lots of space for exercise, relaxing, and play!
