Mostly I just follow the schedule the dogs are use to following that way to try to not throw them out of routine too much. I also make sure to give them plenty of lovins

Matthew was awesome and my pup absolutely loved him. Was easy to book with him and loved getting pictures every visit! Definitely will be booking with him in the future. Was also super great with the semi last minute booking.

Matthew was very friendly and took really care of my dogs. He communicated any concerns or if there was any question of their care.

Matthew watched our dog overnight. When returning our home was in great condition! He sent updates & photos of Winston that made us feel at ease while away!

Matthew was great with Winnie. He left our house in great condition, followed all of our instructions, asked questions when he needed clarification, and made sure she was happy and fulfilled while we were away!

Matt was truly awesome!! He took such good care of my boys and treated my home as it was his own. He sent me puppy photo updates with out me asking and loved on them in my absence. Matt went the extra mile when my flight was delayed 8hrs and let my pups out an extra time and fed them dinner so I didn’t have to worry. My dogs fell in love with Matt the second they met him at the meet and great at my house. I will DEFINITELY be booking Matt again!! Thank you, Matt for taking such good care of Georgie and Patrick!!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Matthew can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know of any specific routines your dog or dogs have. Examples would be when/how they are fed, when/how they are walked, etc.
