A typical day

From walks in the park to pup cups I’ll treat your dog or cat like the celebrity they are. Able to match your pets energy whether its a stroll to smell new smells or a lazy hangout on the couch.

Matt was great as always! So nice to have someone you trust to take care of your cats while you're away.

Matt is so great! We felt very comfortable and confident in him during our recent trip out of town. He was very responsive and respectful. He did great with the cats, made sure they had food/water, clean litter, and played with them every day. He was willing to stop by before we left town so we could give him the spare key and show him where the cat supplies were. We will definitely be planning to book him again for future needs.
