Pet care experience

I have been responsible for pets and pet care since I was 5. I have helped many of my friends and family over the years. Many different sizes and breeds of dogs. Cats too!

Once again Matthew has taken wonderful care of our pups! He obviously spent a lot of time with them and was respectful of our home. All three were relaxed and happy when we got home. Would not hesitate to hire him again!

It was obvious when we returned home from our trip that the pups were very well cared for! Matthew was quickly responsive with communication and made us feel relaxed even though it was the first time he house and pup-sat for us. He left our house clean which was very appreciated after our last dog sitter left our home in such a state that we had to clean it as soon as we got home. Also, the dogs acted like we had never left which meant that Matthew spent a lot of quality time with them. We would not hesitate to hire Matthew again!

Matthew watches our German Shepard fora Week. Cooper loved him. When Cooper will sleep with you and let you give belly rubs you know he loves you. While we were gone I got a notice the lawn service was coming the next day for the final application of the year. I texted Matt and asked him if he could clean up the poop in the back yard. He not only cleaned it up he also raked the leaves. Amazing!! Before we left he spent an entire day with Cooper so they could get to know each other and see if he had any questions. He’s amazing and we will be using him next time we travel.

We had Matthew sit for our energetic bull-boxer mix, Dini, while we were gone for 10 days. He kept Dini active and the house in order. We would not hesitate to call Matthew the next time we need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.

Information Matthew E. would like to know about your pet

Please disclose injuries or soft spots on the pet so I don't accidentally pet them there. If they are food aggressive or exit seeking. If they have a favorite toy or area of the home they like to be.

A typical day

Taking walks around familiar areas followed by fetch or tug of war. I like to play the chase and be chased game. If it's a working breed I like to simulate the work activity as close to the activity as possible.
