Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🐾
I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from small pups to large breeds. I've also cared for dogs with special needs that required extra attention, patience, and individualized care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, a little extra patience, or simply lots of attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're part of the family. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you're away. 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Matthew for all pet care needs, he is incredibly responsible and cares for all animals as if they were his own. Extremely reliable and always willing to go the extra mile. He has watched my animals as well as my children over the years and I could not recommend someone more qualified.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and of course lots of attention and affection. When a dog is in my care, I’m happy to adjust my routine around what they’re used to at home. Whether they need early morning walks, scheduled meals, extra potty breaks, medication, or just someone around to keep them company, I want to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also enjoy staying active, so having a four-legged companion along for walks is always a plus! 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care your pet may need. I know some dogs adjust to new people and places right away, while others need a little extra time and patience. I’m happy to let your dog settle in at their own pace and give them the attention, playtime, exercise, or quiet time that fits their personality. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll keep a close eye on your pet while they’re in my care. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay. 🐾
Pets
A typical day
I like to take them on walks/runs depending on their energy level. teach new tricks or play around with the tricks they know already. I have a few puzzles that I like to put approved treats in
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNo females in heatMatthew can host up to 2 pets per night
- I would want to know any special care needs ie medications, injuries, hearing/vision loss, mobility issues. If they can walk up and down stairs well. if not, if they are comfortable being picked up. Their regular schedule ie food, walks, potty breaks so i can stay as consistent as possible. What they are expected not to do ie not allowed on furniture, greeting people at the door, under the table as you eat ect. Habits that you might be trying to break or are actively training on so I can assist on enforcing those
