Experienced Trustworthy Pet Lovers
Pet care experience
HI! We are Matt and Heather. We are loving, caring pet sitters who always ensure your pets are happy, safe, and receive quality attention. Whether it be an outdoor walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay in your home or ours, we will treat each pet with the utmost care and love. We each have 40+ years of US and international experience caring for various types of animals of all sizes, ages, and health stages. Our animal care experience also includes administering medicines, giving shots, changing bandages, CPR, cleaning wounds, and birthing small and large animals. Unless otherwise approved, your pet would be the only animal in our home, on a walk, or at a drop-in visit, which makes it very easy for us to give your pet our full attention. We understand that you are entrusting us with one of your family members, and we take the responsibility very seriously. Your specific rules and requests will be understood and followed under our watch. You can expect updates including photos as often as requested. We are both fully vaccinated, friendly, respectful, mature couple. We both work from home and have flexible schedules. Some of our hobbies include kayaking, photography, and traveling. Our travels have allowed us to see the world and gain valuable experience pet sitting around the globe. Safety is of the utmost importance to us. We will treat your fur baby as our own. Pets will always be leashed when out on walks and visual supervision when in the fenced yard. Our home is "snack" proofed, meaning we have cleared the floor and counters of food bits and small items that may look like treats, and all cleaning supplies or possible toxic chemicals are put away in cabinets. We look forward to meeting you and your pet. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Reviews
Matthew went above and beyond when watching our dog Bennie during our wedding weekend. He provided consistent updates and even brought Bennie to our wedding venue so he could be in some special photos with us. We would use Matthew again if we ever visit St. Augustine again and highly recommend his services!
Matthew & Heather did an amazing job for me! They took great care of my cat. So much so, that she wasn't all that happy to see me. They followed my lengthy instructions and send pictures every day with an update. I was worried about leaving her for so long but my concerns were completely unnecessary. I would definitely hire them again and strongly recommend them. Thank you!!
Matthew and Heather were just fabulous! They stayed with our two senior dogs for over a week and took perfect care of them, I loved receiving photos of them several times each day from Matthew, complete with clever captions. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation without one worry about our dogs, knowing that they were being cared for so well. I highly recommend Matthew and Heather and will use them again!
Matthew and Heather were wonderful caretakers to our Rena. I received pics and updates on her every day. We could not asked for more caring and compassionate people than those two. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing care.
About Matthew B H.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We treat each pet and each home as if it were our own. We respectfully follow the directions of each pet parent and provide timely updates & photos daily. We are tidy & responsible pet & home sitters.
Information Matthew B H. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your dog has special needs like medication, allergies, etc. Does your dog have any particular quirks or behavioral traits we should know of? Examples may be jumping fences, door darting, doesn't like pats on their belly, loves scratched behind their ear, hating squirrels - anything that would help us and your pet bond, stay happy, and keep safe. Are there any behavioral or training traits you specifically want to be reinforced throughout the day (besides basic manners or tricks)? Please bring their bed, toys, medications, food, and treats with you. Please provide proof of flea treatment and up-to-date shots and vaccinations.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog(s) would include walks around our neighborhood or the beach. Our community is very dog friendly, and we have many walking routes to choose from that are not car-heavy. We would also include playtime and cuddle time throughout the day. Our yard is fenced, so your dog may also enjoy outdoor time in the yard if requested. We allow pets on our furniture; however, if this is not ok in your household, we would quickly adjust to match.
