All the pets, all the time.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs, both my own and others, since I was a teenager. Whether my roommates or my neighbors, I’ve had to feed, walk, and generally care for all sorts of dogs and cats. I’ve also lived on farms with a wide variety of cats and dogs, so I’m familiar with all sorts of pet personalities.

Matthew was awesome! Super responsive and Cassie seemed to have a great and relaxing time. I asked for many pictures and they totally delivered. Thank you Matthew!

Matthew is an absolute life saver. Professional, kind and super loving with my Doberman. My pup has separation anxiety and felt immediately comfortable with Matthew. I cannot recommend him enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 3 bedroom apartment, with one of the rooms made into an office. We have a lot of space for pets to potentially curl up on, along with designated areas for food and/or litter. There’s comfy couches and chairs, or warm spaces for pets who are not encouraged to be in furniture. Happy to let dogs stay in bed with me, but also can provide designated comfy spaces for them if they are trained not to do that.

Information Matthew V. would like to know about your pet

Any dietary restrictions or medical needs, problematic behaviors that you are trying to train them out of, types of activities they like, behavior around other dogs.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs around the house, especially tug with the rope toys I have around the house. I also love to bring them around to the different parks in my neighborhood to either give them a chance to run with other dogs or go for more solo play (or just a solo run-around-the-dog-park with the two of us if they are more solo dogs).
