Information Matt R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or specific conditions that need attention while I provide my services! I'd love to make this process as comfortable for you as possible.
A typical day
I do what you tell me to do! If your dog likes to have constant attention, I can make sure he/she feels busy. If he/she is more docile, I can keep an eye on him/her and cater to their needs. I've had dogs on both sides of the spectrum and can handle both!

Extremely flexible dog sitter!!
Pet care experience
Im Matt and I'd love to house-sit your pet next time you're away! Here's a little bit about myself: I am currently 28 years old and am a senior at the University of Houston. I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! Growing up I had a Yellow Lab named Lilly, a Cotton Tailed Rabbit named Cornelius, and just lost my beloved Weimaraner named Bailey in 2020 . All of them were like family to me! Whether it be relaxing on the couch or snuggling in bed after a long day, our pets always feel loved and at home! I've only been seriously dog sitting for about 5 years, but being around dogs since such a young age, I feel like I've been doing it my whole life! As a result, raising dogs has made me extremely patient. My family has self trained all of our pets and they all turned out to be perfect family members! I can take dogs that are both crate trained or not. Please feel free to ask me any questions! I am currently job searching as I am graduating this Fall 2022 from the University of Houston with a degree in Economics, so I am extremely open! I currently have access to both an apartment with a massive park (Galleria Area) and a beautiful home with a large backyard (Bellaire/Meyerland). I currently do not have any pets of my own at the moment, as my dog has recently passed. So if your pets don't get along with other animals, then I am your guy! If I am dog-sitting at a client's home, I am willing to take any precautions necessary to make both the dog and the parents feel as comfortable and safe as can be!
Reviews
Matt was great, very responsive and did a great job with the dog. Very pleased
Matthew was best friends with my dog! He made it so easy when I was away -- always there when I had questions, and always so responsible. I feel safe leaving my dog with him. Mochi misses you : )
You could not ask for a better person to care for your pet. Matt’s sincere love for animals is apparent in every interaction. He takes one look in to their eyes and it’s as if he can read their souls. He is very reliable, kind and loving. If my pets could speak they would request him every time.
To whom it may concern, I am delighted to recommend Matthew Richards for a pet sitter/dog walker with Rover. He is a close family friend and I have known him for over twenty years. Matthew is a kind spirited, compassionate, thoughtful, and trustworthy person. Through the years, I have employed Matthew’s services as house/pet sitter and dog walker; as well as various other laborious capacities. He has proved to be conscientious, responsible, and industrious. On many occasions, Matthew exhibited quick thinking on his feet and a cool head in a stressful situation. My mind is always at ease when we travel knowing my pets are in Matthew’s capable and loving hands, knowing he takes his responsibilities seriously and can be relied upon to perform his duties to the best of his ability. In addition, Matthew is a true lover of dogs and has bonded with all mine throughout the years; exhibiting patience, respect, love, and leadership. Sadly, last year he lost his beloved 13-year-old Weimaraner, Bailey. Those of us who had the honor to witness Matthew’s devotion to Bailey through the years were devastated for his loss. Matthew will be a trusted treasure to the dogs in his care, their owners, and his employers. I believe Matthew will be a valuable, dependable asset for any organization fortunate enough to have him on their team. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Lisa C.
