Your fur baby is my top priority!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Matthew Burns and I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz! I have taken care of my own dogs since the age of five and I began dog sitting for friends and family at the age of 16. My mission is to form an honest working relationship with you and your pet. I am more than happy to work out whatever sort of schedule works best for all humans and animals involved - I understand that your animals are part of the family! My care style involves giving lots of love to your companion while also making sure they are given the opportunity to play and exercise. If your dog needs any special accommodations, I am happy to go the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and taken care of, whether this involves a particular kind of food plan or medication regiment. I am aware of common conditions such as anxiety, food sensitivity and issues that require extra love and attention and will be able to assist your dog in dealing with their symptoms. Please feel free to contact me before booking with any questions or concerns that are not addressed in my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :)

We were very last minute but he still was willing to accepted roscoe. Roscoe has anxiety and did very well with Mathew. Anytime we need this service again we will check with him first.

Matthew was great with my 2 senior dogs. He was flexible and made everything very easy. He gave meds to one of my dogs with no problem. I will definitely book him again.

A typical day

Hiking around Santa Cruz is one of my favorite hobbies! I live in a safe neighborhood on the west side that and it is a perfect fit for any dog! I also live within a half mile of Westcliff, Wilder Ranch or Natural Bridges, so there is a large variety of prime walking spots to choose from! Your dog will have my undivided attention, included with lots of cuddles!!! :)
