About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends.

They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends.

“I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the job than Kell. She is truly one of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever known, and her love for animals, especially dogs is unmatched. Kell treats every animal as if it were her own. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. And for someone who has been working with dogs for most of her life, she is more knowledgeable about their wants and needs than anyone I know. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog with the same love and dedication you would, Kell is the one!”
