Reliable & Trustworthy Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve trained all my personal dogs on my own as well as friend’s. I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have a love for animals. I have been walking and caring for others’ pets for years and treat every pet as I would my own.

Matt has dog sat for us multiple times at our home. He is so good with our boys and they seem to really like him. He always follows my requests and stays with the dogs as requested, unlike other sitters we have worked with.

Matt is everything you want in a pet sitter! I have a very sweet, but extremely needy 15 year old chihuahua named Penny. I am always worried about leaving her because of her age and specific needs. She doesn’t walk well anymore, is very fussy with food and eating, and requires quite a bit of extra TLC. Matt was the absolute BEST. He was patient, understanding, and did everything I asked without a single complaint. He took wonderful care of Penny while we were out of town. I highly recommend using Matt for all of your pet care needs!

Matt has helped us with our Berniedoodle for several months 4-5 days a week. He is reliable and always provides a map and lets us know how he was. He’s alerted us when his behavior has been off so we are aware and can watch our fur baby to see if action is needed. He’s also great at “diagnosing” reasons behind unusual behavior like being sad or missing a family member. Our fur baby looks forward to his walks with Matt and gets excited when we mention his name. You couldn’t find a better person to watch over your fur babies.

Matt has been helping with my pets for the last year. I have 2 dogs and an elderly cat. He is so kind and compassionate. His soft voice and gentleness when interacting with my fur babies leaves me feeling totally at ease when I leave them in his care. My pets love him. My golden doodle whimpers when she sees the people she loves and misses and Matt is one of those people who gets that response from her. When he walks the dogs he always sends me a map to show the route they took and how long they were walking. He is intentional with the pets, I also have an elderly dog and he is aware of her behavior and sometimes will just hang with them in the yard if he senses my dogs reluctance in taking a walk. It is so wonderful to have someone who cares about my pets well being and is in tune to their needs. I am grateful for the time he shares with my babies.
