About
Please note that I only offer services within 10 miles of San Anselmo, Ca. I treat your pet like my own and love what I do. I've been fortunate enough to have dogs, cats, reptiles and fish and would be happy to help you care for your pets of any shape and kind! I have been working with animals for over 15 years, mostly dog walking and pet sitting, and value my customers and appreciate that they put their trust in me with their furry family members.

Matt took care of my dog, Cooper, for a handful of days while I went on vacation. I generally take Cooper everywhere with me so I was a bit anxious to leave him for so long, but Matt made drop off a breeze. He kept me in the loop on how Cooper was doing, took him out on daily walks, and judging by the pictures he sent me Cooper seemed to be having a great time. I would highly recommend using Matt’s services if you’re looking for a dog walker/sitter.

Thanks Stephanie, Cooper was just a little goof and lots of fun to be with. He sure knows how to put those big dogs in their place!

Matt was so wonderful with our dogs. The only person outside the family that could walk our Emma (lab/chow mix), and the only one that Beau (very large chocolate lab) wanted to walk with. They adored spending time with him.

We no longer live close to Matt, and Emma and Beau are no longer with us. But if we lived anywhere near Matt, even if only in the same state, he’d be the only one we’d use.

We recommend Matt highly.

Matt is a consummate dog lover. He was our trusted dog walker and dog sitter for years in the Bay Area. Our dogs loved him, including a very shy rescue who warmed to very few people.

Thank you so much! Miss you guys and all the dogs too!

Matt is an excellent dog walker. He has a kind energy that is really wonderful with dogs and also making him very easy to work with. He's responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend Matt to walk your dog!
