Owner away? I’ll walk, sit or stay!

Hello! I’m Matthew and I understand the needs and concerns of Pet Parents like you when they have to be away from their pets. Whether it is just for an afternoon, multiple days or weeks, you want to make sure they are happy, safe and well-cared-for. Our pets are special to us because of the Love they give back to us every day. I was a proud Dog Dad to two beagles for 14 years, but I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been blessed to work with many wonderful families over the past few years especially!

Matthew has been watching our pets while we are gone for a long time now and has always been phenomenal. He is always caring, takes detailed notes and pictures, and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!

Matt did a great job of caring for my two cats while I was away on a short business trip. He was punctual and provided all of the services mentioned in our agreement. I would not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you, Matt.

I cannot say enough good things about Matthew! He was so attentive and sweet with Nattie which means the world to me! Every visit he sent several photos showing her walks, poo's, etc and the big smile on her face. He walked her around the pond which she absolutely loved. He made sure she had food, water and treats and kept us informed on her eating amounts. She is a rescue baby and can be very "scared" of people but he was very gentle with her to earn her trust and let Matthew walk her! I forever grateful for finding Matthew and he is my only go to from now on!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a good-sized fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. If your pet is comfortable with staying, sleeping in a crate I can accommodate for that. I’m also comfortable with feeding and administering any medications if necessary.

A typical day

I’m eager to do what a pet enjoys most. Whether that is walks in the neighborhood or a park, playing in their own yard, or just getting scratches on a comfy couch and spending quality time with them.
