Decades of experience and care!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats and have been taking care of them since I was very young. Attended agility training classes and obedience trainings with the family dog. Family and friends have used me as a pet sitter for their dogs and cats with various needs

Matt took good care of our dog while we were away - good communication with us, saw to all our dig's needs, very smooth all round. Highly recommended.

Matt was great! He was punctual and responded quickly to my inquiries. Maya and Wally loved him from the start.

There is no one I would trust more with my pets than Matt. I previously had a very challenging cat and it was often difficult to find people willing to sit for him. Matt however was able to genuinely bond with the cat and was one of the only people I could call on to cat sit. Matt is a lover of all animals, is the kindest person I know, and is incredibly trustworthy. He has my highest recommendation.
