Pet care experience
I approach pet sitting in a professional mindset. I’m calm, caring, and clean. 1. Daily picture updates and communication. - For house sitting I vacuum the floors, clean the kitchen and all sinks, and wash any fabrics that are used during the stay to ensure your home is well cared for. Your home will be all clean and ready for your arrival. I can also include details about your pets pees and poops if you would like. Every pet is treated equally with care. -Drop in visits- 1-2 daily visits available. I’m respectful of your home/neighbors while visiting. I carefully follow feeding instructions and bathroom needs. Picture updates ensured as well as bathroom updates available. I brush and show kind affection to your pets. They will be treated as royalty. 2. My history: I grew up and lived on a 100 Acre horse farm most of my life. We always had dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens/rabbits. I’m confident with any size pet. For 5 years I solo managed my families farm after a parent passing. On the farm we also have 3 rental houses that I was land-lording and performing maintenance. I am confident with taking care of your home and treating it with respect. I was taught to care for the land and homes. While you are away, I’m good with communicating and letting you know how your loved ones are doing. I love taking dogs for walks and can do playtime with cats. I have pet sit for many different families, big dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and birds. I take pride in being hard working, caring, honest, and helpful. I have 100% repeat customers. -I currently have pet sitting insurance; if I have to take anyone to the vet we can be reimbursed. I added home insurance too incase something breaks during a stay. -I also completed a dog first aid course. Thank you, Matt
Reviews
Matt was fantastic with our 12-year old mini Aussie Bodhi. He was patient and loving towards Bodhi and took him on daily walks. Matt was also a great communicator with us by sending multiple updates a day that included photos and videos of Bodhi. We cannot recommend Matt enough!
Matt was extremely attentive and loving when it came to taking care of my cat while I was gone. He went above and beyond the normal standard, making sure Carbon (my cat) felt loved and that I felt assured while traveling. I was able to enjoy my holiday even more receiving daily updates, videos and pictures of their time together. Matt is an amazing caretaker and I would confidently recommend him to anyone wanting their animal in good hands while they’re away!
Matt was awesome! He stayed at my house for about a week to watch my dog, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was not only great with my dog, but I was very comfortable with him staying in my house.
Hello. I’m Matt’s dad. Matt grew up on a 110 acre horse farm which offered full and field board, large riding ring, and trails that wandered through 40 acres of forest. He learned early and often the responsibilities of taking good care of all the horses that were part of our establishment. Dogs and cats were always part of our family and you can be assured that Matt will not disappoint on his abilities and care for your loved pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m careful when entering a home, being sure to close any doors/gates. I follow all feeding directions carefully. When walking, I’m careful with the leash and don’t let them get close to other pets. I also pick up anything after the pet. I also remove my shoes before entering the house and clean up everything from my visits. I stay on the walks for as long as the necessary to give them time to do multiple bathroom breaks. I try to help your pets to feel calm and loved. Your pets and home will be well cared for.
Information Matt F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special requests or needs. I’m happy to try and accommodate any and everything. I love all dogs and pets and look forward to helping out.
A typical day
For drop in visits: Starts with an early morning walk/bathroom break and their breakfast/water needs fulfilled. I try to let them out once more if I have to leave the house. Upon returning I let the pets out again for a bathroom break. In the evenings I do a walk, give them lots of time to sniff around, and have time to go to the bathroom. I also take mental notes of the pets bathroom schedule and make sure they are pooping daily. I will notify you if they are not having regular poops. I enjoy exploring the neighborhood and letting the dog get out any extra energy. I prefer finding quite parts of the town. Generally in the evenings I try to brush and show affection to the pets. For drop-in visits I can brush and will always show kind affection.
