Pet care experience

Trustworthy pet & home care 🏠🐈🐕

Growing up with pets my whole life has given me invaluable experience and a profound understanding of animal care. I have personally assisted in delivering puppies, nurtured kittens, and provided care for elderly cats and dogs, showcasing my deep compassion and dedication to the well-being of animals. My experience extends to a variety of pets, including those with scales and feathers, highlighting my versatility and ability to offer quality care across different species. This background has equipped me with the skills, empathy, and knowledge needed to deliver exceptional pet sitting services tailored to the unique needs of each animal under my care.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to looking after pets and homes, safety, trust, and creating a cozy environment are key. I make sure pets feel secure by understanding their needs indoors and outdoors, like keeping harmful stuff away and making sure they're comfortable. Having insurance, emergency contacts, and clear instructions from owners builds trust and safety. I keep the space clean, prepare for emergencies, and use eco-friendly practices to create a healthy environment for pets. By following simple safety tips, setting boundaries, keeping things tidy, looking after myself, and having a good support system, I ensure a safe and happy place for pets under my care.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2024

Matt was great with our animals and housesitting! He followed our dog’s supplements and treats schedule perfectly. Our cat hides a lot but he was still able to give him his medicine at one point, which is not an easy feat, he’s level 10/10 on the spicy kitty scale. He was respectful of our home, went above and beyond and even brought our trash bins in.

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2024

Matthew house and cat sat for me - and he was great. I was gone for an extended period and while I was away my cat had some stress issues as a result. Matthew took him to the vet (giving him the necessary gabapentin prior to the visit) and applied medication after the visit. He took such good care of my cat, keeping me updated regularly. There were also a few issues that popped up with the house and he took it all in stride. He was really great - I can't recommend him enough.

Any eating habits or bathroom habits surrounding pets is always good to know. It would also be good to know how these pets react to other pets, especially dogs that might like to go on walks. I'd like to know what kind of standard of living these pets have at home so that I can maintain that for them.
