Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I start and end my day making sure animals are happy, safe, and cared for. Whether it's morning walks, feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I schedule my day around their needs.

Information Matthew H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, any medications, and their comfort levels with new people or other animals. I also like to know their favorite activities, any allergies or sensitivities, and how they communicate when they’re anxious or excited. Understanding their habits and needs ahead of time helps me keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

I focus on keeping every pet engaged, comfortable, and well-cared-for. Depending on their needs, I’ll take them on regular walks, offer enrichment games, practice simple commands, and provide safe, supervised playtime. For more relaxed pets, I make sure they get plenty of calm companionship and affection. My goal is to maintain their routine, support their wellbeing, and ensure they feel happy and secure the entire time you’re away.

10/10 Recommend! Matt was incredible and truly came through for us when we had to go out of town unexpectedly and needed someone reliable for a few days. The trust we placed in him was completely justified—he was punctual, dependable, and consistently communicative. We gave Matt a code to our home and left feeding instructions, all of which he followed perfectly. Throughout his visits, he checked in regularly and asked thoughtful questions whenever needed to ensure our cats were fully taken care of. What really stood out, though, was how Matt went above and beyond. Even though it wasn’t requested, he asked if he could spend extra time giving our cats some affection. This not only showed his genuine love and compassion for animals but also demonstrated his respect and proactive communication by asking first. My wife and I are truly grateful to have found Matt. He is trustworthy, reliable, and deeply caring—everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend him.

Matthew and Jayda treat every pet like their own. They’re the kind of sitters who actually pay attention — they learn each pet’s quirks, what makes them happy, and what helps them feel safe. They’re reliable with routines, gentle with shy pets, and always make sure everyone gets enough love, play, and comfort. You can tell they genuinely enjoy being around animals, and it shows in how calm, patient, and caring they are. With them, pets don’t just get looked after — they’re truly cared for.
