Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Lover!
Howdy! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I absolutely love! Throughout my life, I've always had dogs and later worked full-time at a doggie daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. During that time, I completed training classes and emergency pet care courses, giving me the knowledge to respond confidently in both everyday situations and unexpected ones. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors who may need extra patience, medication management, mobility support, or a slower pace. If you’re interested, I can also provide one-on-one training sessions during your pup’s stay to reinforce good manners, basic commands, or specific goals you may have. When your pet is with me, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests you provide. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to ensure they’re feeling secure and well cared for at all times. I have a friendly, playful dog who loves making new friends, and two cats who have their own dedicated space to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. My home is structured, supervised, and pet-focused. Your pet will be treated as part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care throughout their stay. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member!

Ratings and reviews
2nd time my fur baby stayed with Matthew and again he was great! Matthew kept me updated and very flexible with any changes! Matthew is very trustworthy and kind. Thank you for the great service.
Matthew has a calming energy and Chewie felt comfortable when he met him the first time. He is also very attentive and responsive. He frequently sent me updates of Chewie and sent pictures as well. I appreciate him for taking care of Chewie.
Matthew was so great! Always sent me updates everyday to ensure my girl was happy and safe. Even offered to bathe my fur baby due to all the rain. I cannot thank him enough for his excellent service!!
I had a regular Rover sitter before Matthew but she was not available and as soon as I read his profile, I knew it was the perfect fit. Now he’ll definitely be my favorite sitter. I received daily updates with pictures and my dog seemed very comfortable and happy. For my peace of mind, I asked Matthew to send a little more updates than usual if possible and he did with no hesitation. He even took the time to give my doggy a quick bath after a rainy day. I recommend choosing Matthew as your trusted sitter, you and your puppies won’t regret it
Matthew was awesome accepting my last minute booking. My puppy was instantly comfortable with him. He didn’t bark or anything when they met. The daily updates and photos were great for my anxiety as this was the first time I was not with my puppy. Thank you Matthew and we will back. Hopefully you are available.
Matthew gave my German shepherd a great experience. She was not socialized. I warned him she may not do well, but Matthew said he could help her and socialize her with his own dog! He gave updates and pictures of her! I recommend Matthew for handling any dog! I am happy to hire him again and again! Gina Jordan

While I am watching your pet, I provide daily updates, enrichment time and play time in the yard. If your pup is comfortable with the dog park, let me know. I take my pup every other day!
