Pet care experience

Your dog’s new best friend

I’m Matt. I grew up with cats, but adopted my first dog at 21. My family has had dogs ever since. I have two dogs at the moment, both rescues. I’ve had large and small dogs and can adapt walks and visits to whatever activity level or needs your dogs have. My dogs are members of my family, and you can be confident that I will treat your companions with the same care I do my own.

Safety, trust & environment

The wellbeing and safety of my dogs is a priority. Your dogs will be cared for the same. Everything comes second to keeping your dogs safe while in my care. I will always follow your preferences for walks, treats, and other care if needed. If there are any problems that come up, I will promptly get in touch with you and make sure your dogs are in the best hands possible.

I can’t recommend Matthew highly enough! He has been incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and caring with our dog, Ringo. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Ringo was in the hands of someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. He was always dependable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Ringo was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for him—he truly cares about the dogs he works with. We’re only ending our service because we’re moving, and saying goodbye has honestly been one of the hardest parts of our move. Any pet owner would be lucky to have him care for their dog. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Ringo—we’ll miss you!

I am a graduate student who is medically retiring from my current work. I have a lot of availability on weekdays to drop in to walk and visit with your dogs. The only things I usually have to schedule around are getting my kids out the door to school and back home.
