“Megan has been great! We needed her last min and she was available. My dog wasn’t wanting to eat so she made it fun like a game for her and she eat. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby.”
“Jenny started doing drop in visits with my 2 doggos this week. I was a little hesitant at first because my dogs haven’t been around a lot of people. They warmed up to her very quickly! Jenny post pictures of them daily and it keeps my heart at ease. Highly recommend Jenny. You can tell immediately that she has a love for animals.”
“Gabriel did a fantastic job with our pups! He was very attentive and asked many questions during the pre-drop in visit. During our time away he made sure to take photos and keep us informed on how they were doing. I would recommend him for your sitting needs!”
About: I became a pet owner at a very young age, probably 4 or 5. My first fur baby was a cat who lived to be 20 years old! I have also had many dogs, ranging from Retrievers to Saint Bernards to one really wonderful Great Pyrenees. When I was a teen, I visited my Grandmother in New York where a cute, sick little barn kitty took a liking to me. I ended up flying him home with me in a picnic basket, nursed him back to health, and loved him for many years. While growing up and into my adulthood I have often taken care of neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I now have a 5-year-old kitty who we've had since he was a kitten. He is the king of the castle and an essential member of our family, and honestly, I envy his life most of the time! I understand how precious our pets are and would be truly honored to take care of yours just as they were my own, surrounding them with love, patience, and attention. I can currently commit to Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3-9pm. Other times/days may be available by request and circumstance depending on my work schedule for that week. Don't hesitate to reach out and we'll see if we're a good fit! I will treat your home and pet(s) with just as much care, caution and respect as I do for my own and each and every client.
“I had a fantastic experience with Matthew! They followed all directions perfectly and communicated with me throughout the process, which made everything so much easier. It was clear that they genuinely cared for my pet and ensured their comfort and happiness. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“She took great care of our cat while we were gone. She communicated well and in a timely manner, and she also took really good pictures for our Rover card! Definitely would use her again!”

About: I’m a medical professional and animal lover! I’m looking to care for your loves while you enjoy some time away.

I’ve been around cats and dogs all of my life, and my daughter is an aspiring vet. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs of all sizes (vizslas, golden retrievers, huskies, small terriers, beagles) and energy levels. If your dog enjoys a good run, I’m the girl for you! Joggers and sprinters alike! Lots of talking, treats, and taking in the scenery. I’m comfortable administering medications as needed. I work from home, so I have flexibility with enough notice. Don’t call me maybe; call me definitely! I work from home, so I have some flexibility during the day for a drop in or a walk. Let’s coordinate on what works best for both of us.
