Animal-Loving Stay-At Home Dad

Pet care experience

I provide knowledgable, passionate care for dogs, cats, and more! Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since childhood, and I have always been able to connect with all animals. Reliable and punctual, with close to a decade of wide-ranging animal care experience; Injections and medication administration, grooming, TLC, and exercise. Prior to moving to Oregon for school, I dog sat for friends and family in Virginia. Upon moving to Springfield, I boarded dogs at my home, with multiple repeat customers. I live near both Alton Baker Park and Island Park, centrally located between Downtown Springfield and the UO Campus, and can provide transportation to parks, groomers, vets, or anywhere your furry friend might need to go. I have a very flexible schedule, and can accommodate a variety of different needs.

Matt is fantastic! My wierdo doggies absolutely love him, and they dont always like strangers. Our pups are also on numerous medications, so he has experience there too. He has stayed in our home to take care of them like they are his own. By far my favorite pet/house sitter we have ever used!

Matt is a very gentle and kindhearted individual who is beloved by my animals! I have a sweet, but shy kitty named Pickle who is wary of people, and he warmed up to Matt so quickly I was shocked! My other cat, Squirt, is 19 years old and Matt is excellent with him and his special needs. You can tell he cares so much about providing the best care possible. He gives Squirt his joint and kidney medication daily and showers him with pets. If you are looking for someone who is reliable with a heart of gold, Matt's your man!

Matt is the ultimate dog-lover! He is caring and kind and loves to give them lots of walks and cuddles. Your dog will be in great hands with him. I’d recommend him to anyone!
