Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Care, Happy Tails
I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and pets with special needs. My background includes daily care for puppies, senior pets, and animals requiring extra patience, structure, or medical attention. What sets me apart is my calm, observant approach. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and subtle changes so pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood in my care. I’m experienced with medication administration, mobility support for seniors, anxiety-prone pets, and maintaining consistent routines for animals who don’t do well with disruption. I treat every pet as an individual—not just a task—providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs and personalities.

Ratings and reviews
He was absolutely amazing and sent pictures all the time with updates. We had left our frenchies with him for two weeks and they came back super clean and happy! I am definitely going to be using him again
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs. They love going to boarding with Matthew. He is a great communicator and sends such cute pics while they stay with him. Highly recommend if your looking for someone to love on your pets while your away. We have used Matthew multiple time now and plan to use him again when we are away. Thank you!!!!
Ariel and Fiona were happy to have you and awaiting May vacation. THANK You.
Matthew is amazing. We will continue to have him stay with our babies. He is great at communicating!
Thank you so much for watching our dogs! Matthew was so kind and communicative. Able to send us updates on our dogs while we were away and our dogs came home happy and tired from their adventures. Thank you so much!!
I could go on and on and on about how amazing Matthew is! He took OUTSTANDING care of our two dogs while my family went on our first vacation. Matthew continued to provide us daily updates on how our dogs were doing and their moods for the day which made my day even better knowing my boys were in good hands. We did a meet and greet twice before our planned vacation and each interaction with Matthew reassured our confidence that he would be the perfect person to housesit for us and take care of our boys. He was excellent with communication, care and tidiness. Will absolutely be using him again in the future! Upon our arrival home we found a bag of sweet treats and a beautiful card with a handwritten note. Matthew is extremely thoughtful and I hope everyone who books him knows their dogs truly couldn’t be with a more perfect person!

Schedule
I’m currently working remotely so my schedule is extremely flexible for pet sitting, boarding, walking and playing, and whatever other needs your loved ones might require.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, consistency, and trust in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred play or rest times, to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment, free of hazards, and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I communicate promptly with owners if I notice anything out of the ordinary. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect the space and follow instructions exactly, maintaining the pet’s normal environment and routine. My approach is calm, attentive, and structured—so pets feel safe, owners feel confident, and trust is never compromised.
