Our pup loved her time with Mattie. She kept us updated and lots of pictures to keep our mind at peace knowing she was in great care! Tons of outdoor time and she came home exhausted!

I highly recommend Mattie for anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is to caring for animals and how naturally dogs are drawn to her. She has always had a special bond with pets and takes great pride in making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

Mattie is like the dog whisperer! I highly recommend Mattie for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. She has been around dogs her entire life and has a natural connection with animals of all breeds and sizes. Her love for dogs is evident in the way she cares for them, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-exercised. As the owner of two large-breed dogs herself, she is experienced handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. She is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animal care. Any dog in her care will be treated with the same love and attention she gives her own pets. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I can’t recommend Mattie. Z enough! She is are one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. Animals naturally gravitate toward her because they’re so patient, loving, and attentive. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with routines, your pets will be treated like family. I do trust her with my own pets anytime, and I know anyone booking with them will feel completely at ease.

Schedule

Doggy daycare/dog walking fits really naturally into my routine because I already have dedicated days off during the week and love staying active. I work full time, but on my available days I’m home and able to give dogs lots of attention, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and love. I stick to their routine so they feel comfortable, but I also make sure they’re getting plenty of stimulation and not just sitting around bored. At my place, they’ve got a safe, relaxed space to hang out and settle in like they belong there. In a client’s home, I keep things consistent so they feel secure in their own environment.

Pets

A typical day

I provide daily walks, feeding, playtime, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Living near the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum trails allows for safe, enriching walks and regular outdoor exercise. I also have a big backyard where we can hang out.

Before I take care of a pet, I like to get a good feel for their normal routine—feeding times, walks, bathroom breaks, and how they usually spend their day so I can keep things consistent for them. I also ask about their food, any allergies or medications. It’s important for me to know how they act. If they pull on walks, don’t get along with other dogs, or have any escape risks.
