Top rated Matthews house sitters
“Monica was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, she bonded so well with Kairo—it was clear he adored her, and that gave me peace of mind. While I was away, she went above and beyond: caring for Kairo with love and attention, sending photos, managing an important package delivery, coordinating with landscapers, and keeping everything in order at my home. When I returned, Kairo was happy, the house was clean, and everything felt calm and cared for. Monica was more than a sitter—she was a true house manager and care agent. Her communication, reliability, and warmth are top tier. I highly recommend Monica and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. I currently work Monday - Friday with an unpredictable schedule. Saturdays & Sundays are best for me at this time. Some holidays will be an option as well. Example, Martin Luther King, Presidents Day Before I lost my dog to kidney disease, he was potty trained and free to roam the house. I walked him when I got home and he was my cuddle buddy when it was time to go to bed.
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”
“Phoebe was just delightful. She played with Sophie till they both dropped 😊and she even let Sophie sleep with her which Sophie loved. I am SO delighted to have found Phoebe and will be calling her for help many times again.”
About: I’ve walked neighbors dogs when they’re out of town and have visited dogs to feed them and let them out. I’ve also had a dog my entire life. I can walk or visit dogs anytime of the day. I can also pet sit. I’m on summer break so I’m very flexible with my hours. I make sure they are fed on time and get their proper meds on time. I also play with them and like to take them on walks.
“Devin stayed at our house for a week and cared for our cat. She was very good with our shy kitty and I think our cat may now like her better than she likes us. Devin was always prompt in answering messages and did everything we asked of her. I highly recommend Devin.”
“Shalisha was absolutely fantastic as our house and dog sitter! She provided clear communication and frequent updates and sent us photos. Followed our instructions to a tee, was neat, polite and went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable, safe, and got plenty of exercise. We will definitely book Shalisha again!”
“Natalie did such an amazing job watching our three pets for us while we were out of town for the week! She kept us updated and sent pictures, sent over notes she took throughout the week from everyday, tidied up the whole house before we got home (took out the trash, dishwasher, washed the bedding/towels, everything!) I couldn’t recommend her more!!! She will definitely be our go to!”
“Paige did an excellent job, she was prompt, courteous, and great with Bogie. She sent daily photo updates and took great care of our 75 lb. high energy lab puppy. Would definitely recommend her services and plan to use her in the future for our petsitting needs. Just a note after she left Bogie spent the next couple of days scouring the house, looking for his new best friend. Thanks Paige.”
“Vladymyra was great with Yogi! Yogi is a 9 month old puppy who requires a lot of attention and detailed care. Vladymyra paid attention to his needs and provided all the care. She also was thoughtful enough to bring her kind sister because she had to head out for a bit just to prevent Yogi being completely alone. Thank you again for watching Yogi! We can’t wait for next time.”

Stephanie M.
“I have been friends with Stephanie for 26 plus years, I attended her wedding when she got married and I think Stephanie is one of the most responsible people that I know. She has cared for her own pets through the years I have known her and she love anyone pets she come in contact with. I think since her dog has passed away due to natural causes this would give her an opportunity to show her love to others pets. I could not think of another person who would do a better job.”
