Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have been responsible for feeding, bathing and training them. I’m trustworthy and very compassionate towards animals.

Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!

Matt & his wife exceeded my expectations! This was my first time using a dog sitter & I was a little nervous initially because my dogs are my furry babies but I could tell as soon as I met these two, there was nothing to worry about. Matt kept me updated everyday with pics/videos and telling me about their day. He made sure they stayed on the same diet & eating schedule as I had them on. With every picture he sent, I could tell that they were having a blast. If you want assurance that your dog(s) will be well cared for, then don’t hesitate & book with Matt. He will be my go to for all of our dog sitting sessions for now on. Thank you so much again, Matt!

We have tried various pet sitters all around the Sacramento region for years, and after taking our pet dog to stay with Matt and his family, we were entirely overwhelmed by how wonderful an experience, not only for us, but also for our pet. She was treated with such care the entire 12 days. She looked happy and extremely well cared for that she even was more fit upon our return. She was walked daily, multiple times a day, had a nice clean environment, inside and out, in which to enjoy her stay and Matt was so kind as to daily share images of how happy she was that we felt at rest and content that she couldn't possibly be in a better situation, unless she were back home with us. Matt did such an amazing job that we hope to continue to share our girl with him and his family on future trips where we are unable to take our girl with us. We have the highest compliments and recommendations for Matt and are highly impressed. We simply cannot say thank you enough. It was the absolute best experience we've ever had and are so grateful for his attentive and thoughtful care of our little girl. Thank you so much!
