Safety, trust & environment
You are the expert on your pets and your home. I am here to give the support you need to care for your pets the best way you know how.
Information Matthew C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or routines. If you have an untrained dog, that is ok! I just want to know ahead of time what to expect. If your pet has specific medical issues, please have your vet's info and an emergency contact added to the app in the event of an emergency.
A typical day
Much like you and I, most pets are creatures of habit. I trust you to tell me the best games, activities, or routines your pet enjoys. If you cat just likes to stare at birds or chase laser pointers, I am game. Whether you pup likes to watch Netflix on the couch or go for a run through the park, I am happy to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible.

Pet care experience
I am a life long pet caretaker. My childhood home was filled with both cats and dogs. Since then, cats and/or dogs have been in every new dorm, apartment, or house I have lived in. I regularly care for my friend's pets, including Ella Dog the labradoodle in my profile picture - ball is life for her. I also frequently watch and feed my neighbor's cats. At this point I cannot imagine living anywhere without a pet in my life. They feel more human than most people these days!
Reviews
Matthew is incredible! Perfect for big dog owners! We have a dog with a lot of quirks and he had no problem working with them. I was so comfortable knowing he was taking care of my babies!
Matthew was fantastic with our often skittish golden doodle. We just got back and our pup was relaxed and excited, not anxious or anything, and Matthew was a fantastic house guest as well. Would give more stars if we could. Will definitely rebook!
Matthew was fantastic with Luna! She has separation anxiety and this is the first time that she hasn’t been overstimulated and anxious when we returned home. He kept our apartment in fantastic shape and was very thoughtful. He had a wonderful calm temperament with Luna that helped put both her and us as ease. 10/10 will book again.
Matthew is a truly wonderful walker and pet sitter! My husky Shepard mix, Mav, absolutely adores him, he's always so excited to get to see Matthew. He has a very calm and grounding presence, which is a great counterpoint for my medium-high energy pup. Matthew is an excellent communicator with humans and animals alike, pays great attention to dog body language, is skilled at attuning to dogs' needs, and is overall an excellent caregiver. Leaving your pup with someone new for the first time can be a nerve wracking experience, but Matt made everything as easy and smooth as one could possibly hope for! He sent updates and photos, and didn't hesitate to ask when he had a clarifying question regarding the meal instructions I'd left for Mav. If you're looking for someone kind, caring and knowledgeable to walk or sit for your pet, I would highly recommend Matthew!
