Sober reliable responsible friend

Pet care experience

I've taken care of all different types of animals throughout my life. I have a soft spot for dogs but love any and all creatures. I've become all of my friends and family go-to dog/house sitter as they entrust me in their homes and with their beloved friends due to me being responsible, sober, reliable, and loved by their furry pals.

Highly recommend Matthew to care for your pets and home. We have two large dogs with very different energy levels. They were both very content and relaxed when we got home from a getaway. Matthew stayed at our home and left the place immaculate. He sent pics and texted any updates while we were gone, which is always reassuring. Our pups love Matthew and are looking forward getting to hang out with him again soon!

Matthew stayed at my home and watched my little guy for 9 days. I am incredibly neurotic and protective of my little guy and I do not trust many people to watch him but I felt incredibly comfortable and safe knowing Matthew was watching and hanging out with him. I got many pictures showing my little guy playing and cuddling (my little guy will not cuddle if he's not comfortable with someone). I came back to a clean home and a happy and healthy dog. Matthew is my first call for pet-sitting needs.

Matty has been my kitty sitter for several years now. I never have to worry, because my cats are always happy and healthy when I return. He sends pictures, and gives updates on how they are doing. He cleans the litter box daily, and plays with them. Not only is he a lovely person, but he is also trustworthy!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to the possibility of having other animal visits to my home although the preference would be to come take care of them at their home that they are already comfortable, feeling safe and established in. Although I am open to visits to my space as we have quite a little animal haven going on here with quite a few chickens, cats, one grown dog and one teeny puppy.

Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to have an open dialogue with pet parents about comfort levels with other animals, preferred eating times/settings, what kind of stimulation/no stimulation they prefer, medication needed, eccentricities, etc.

A typical day

I am a very active person that thrives on being outside, in nature which makes me an excellent playmate with most animals. I bicycle, swim and exercise daily so I rarely get tired of playtime. But also love to cuddle, snuggle and love on my furry friends
