Information Matthew W. would like to know about your pet
For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, dogs must be healthy and free of communicable illness for at least 30 days and up to date on Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella vaccinations. Dogs must also be free of fleas, ticks, and worms, be spayed or neutered, and cannot wear flea collars (please remove prior to arrival and let me know in advance). Please share any medical needs, medications, or behavioral considerations ahead of time so I can provide the best possible care.
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy a calm, structured day of supervised play, social time, outdoor yard breaks, and plenty of rest and relaxation. They’ll head home happy, comfortable, and well cared for!

Pet care experience
Safe, calm, fully supervised in-home dog care in Orinda with a large fenced yard for play and sunshine. I work from home full-time, so dogs receive dedicated one-on-one care, structure, and lots of love throughout the day. My golden retriever Pearl is well-socialized and enjoys playing or relaxing alongside visiting pups. I live with my wife, who works at a local veterinary practice in Orinda, adding an extra layer of care and experience in our home. With years of dog-sitting experience, meet-and-greets are required to ensure a great fit.
Reviews

Matt’s a fantastic person to work with. He’s communicative, diligent about sending updates, is flexible, and clearly cares about your pet. Would 100% work with Matt again.

I could enjoy my trip knowing that my fur baby was in good hands.

Matt was great with Brinkley. She came home more relaxed than when I dropped her off.

Another great stay with Matthew and Luna. Everything is so easy-from communication to drop off and pick up. I feel very comfortable leaving Pemba there and she loves it too!
