Zookeeper who loves to pet-sit!
Pet care experience
Hi! Looking for a great pet sitter? I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and have plenty of animal care experience working as a zookeeper here in Chicago . I have worked in veterinary clinics and have cared for a variety of different species over the years. I am very excited to meet your best friend! I am also an avid runner and enjoy exploring around the city. Let me know what you are looking for and I'd be more than happy to help you out. I have experience giving medications/injections working with aggressive or shy individuals, obedience training, and also house training. Send me a message to inquire about my availability. I hope you feel safe choosing me as your pet care provider and can't wait to chat with you soon! Best Wishes, Matt

Matt was great with the kids! Kept us informed with how they were and they really seemed to like him! When our flight was postponed for a day, Matt had no problem extending their care. The house was clean and he even picked up the mail that I forgot to ask him too. ? Definitely Will use Matt again, he really has a way with the kids.
Matt was fantastic! Our dogs loved him, he was reliable, trustworthy, and went above and beyond what we asked of him. He moved our trashcans (after trash day) and emptied our dehumidifier. These were small things, but really show his attention to detail and that he treats your home like his own. We couldn't be more pleased that we hired him and we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future.
Matt did an excellent job caring for our two fur babies while I was away. They are 6 mths and 7yrs old (still adjusting to living together). Matt was sure to give each of them attention. You can tell he really enjoys spending time with animals. Matt is super friendly and I would highly recommend him for pet sitting.
Matt is an extremely loving and attentive dog sitter. He loves playing with and walking dogs. Matt is very responsible and professional. He would treat any dog he cares for as his own. You can rest assured if Matt is watching your pet then they are in great hands :)

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to maintain the same environment and routine in your pets home that they would have when you are there. Keeping the same daily routine can help minimize stress or anxiety for your pet while you are away.
Information Matt S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know if your pet has any special care requests or behavioral concerns. I want to provide exceptional care to your pup or cat, so knowing any food allergies, medications, or safety precautions ahead of time would be greatly appreciated.
A typical day
I love to explore the neighborhood on walks and avoid busy streets. I will head to the park where there is plenty of space to walk around and play. When I’m in your home, I will keep your pet busy by engaging with them through play and cuddles. Building a strong relationship with your pet is important to me and will allow for a more successful stay.
