About: I have been around pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with the dog name snoophy. When I came to college I started volunteering at the animal shelter where I volunteered with cats and dogs and helped foster cats and kittens.

I can be flexible but am more open on weekends. Love going on walks and playing with pets! I enjoy spending time with pets whether it’s playing with them, going on walks, or having their companionship around. Willing to just stop by or spend time.

“Matt has been a blessing & has eased our fears of leaving our girl for the day. Matt sent a photo update & stayed in communication with us on a trial run. I know my girl is in good hands with Matt & feel so much better about my day away.”

“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

About: I have had dogs and other animals my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up with pets taught me early on how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to helping animals feel safe and happy. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they need. I’m used to daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and stimulation while their owners are away. I currently work a full-time remote job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets. Whether it's dropping in during the day, stopping by in the evening, or staying overnight, I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. Since I work remotely, I’m able to check in frequently and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
