Full-time Dog & Cat Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Matt Ketzer and I love animals. I have three cats of my own at home, and I have had many dogs in my lifetime. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Miami University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I have lived in DC for a few months now, and I am very familiar with the area. I am a full-time dog and cat caretaker, whether it be walking a dog or sitting a cat. I can do it all! My schedule is flexible and I will be available for any and all of you and your pet's needs, and I am always open to special requests and ensuring your pet is properly taken care of. I let the dogs and cats lead the way. I look at it as if I work for them! You can always reach me via text or the mobile app. I am always quick to respond. I cannot wait to connect with you and your pet!

Matt is awesome! He’s managed to befriend our very sassy torty. Really appreciate his communication and humor!

Information Matt K. would like to know about your pet

What is the dog’s routine? Does the dog have any triggers? What are his/her quirks? How do I access your apartment in case of emergency? Is there any special needs they have?

A typical day

I let the dog (or cat) lead the way. They can sniff and take their time, doing their business when they see fit. Upon request, I will do any certain activities you desire, whether it be a 1-mile minimum walk or simply hanging out. I know all of the local parks and will gladly take them to play, but I’m also down to hang out inside and cuddle.
