Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Full-Time • Fenced Grass Yard!
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Matt did a wonderful job with our dog. He sent lots of pictures with updates. Good communication which is greatly appreciated.
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!
Pemba loves visiting Matthew and Luna! They play in the yard and go on walks, and we always get photos of our happy dog. Thanks for another great stay!
