Highlights
Pet care experience
Consistent, caring pet sitter
I've had pets for over two decades, including cats and dogs, so I understand what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and comfortable long-term. On top of that, I've spent the past few years house sitting for my sister's and cousin's dogs and cats, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping their routines consistent while they're away. I'm attentive to each animal's personality and quirks, and I make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time their owners are gone.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Since I care for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their environment safe, secure, and comfortable: locking up after myself, keeping to their normal routine, and paying close attention to any specific instructions from the owner. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn't say enough with words how thankful we were to have found Matt to watch our senior Golden Retriever. Matt went so far above and beyond when our dog had a medical emergency while under his care. When he noticed our dog needed urgent medical attention in the middle of the night, he took him to the emergency vet without skipping a beat. He spent the night with him and provided updates all night when we were unavailable to be reached by phone. Matt stayed in our house while watching Brody and kept our home perfectly clean. He even cleaned up all droppings in the yard. Matt is reliable, dependable, and someone I would fully entrust for any future sitting needs. If you have the opportunity to have Matt care for your pets, there is no reason to continue the search for anyone else.
Matt is an excellent pet sitter! A certified animal lover he is very attentive to our pet’s needs. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous or anxious, but Matt is her favorite as he is such a calming presence. He gives so much love to our cat even though it’s really easy to forget about the kitties when house sitting. Very easy to schedule as Matt is quite flexible. I’m always confident in the knowledge that my pets are cared for.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm flexible with timing and can commit to consistent visits, whether that's daily drop-ins, dog walks, or day care throughout the week. I prioritize showing up reliably and on schedule, since I know pet parents need to trust that their routine won't be disrupted. I'm happy to work around your specific schedule and adjust as needed.

- I like to know a pet's basic routine ahead of time: feeding schedule, any medications, favorite toys or activities, leash behavior, and anything that makes them anxious or excited. Knowing their personality and quirks helps me give them the best possible care.
