Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet parent & caregiver since 2009
I’ve loved all furry friends since before I can remember, getting my own puppy all the way back in 2009! I started pet sitting as a young teen for friends and family - regularly stopping by to check up on my fuzzy clients and ensure they got the best care possible (always keeping them safe, well hydrated, fed, played with, and exercised) while managing toys, any messes, and (of course) maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet parents. :)

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and prevention are my top priorities to ensure a stress-free experience for you and your pet. When visiting or staying in your home, I strictly follow your feeding and medication schedules, practice a careful 'double-door' routine (whenever possible) to prevent bolting, and always check your yard gates before any outdoor play. On walks, I take a safety-first approach by staying vigilant, sticking to familiar safe routes, and avoiding greetings with unknown dogs. (If your pet is ever visiting me, rest assured my home is thoroughly pet-proofed, too!) I am a big believer in the power of a good Meet & Greet to make sure we're a great fit. I always keep local emergency vet info handy (along with my pet first aid kit) and will send you frequent photo updates so you can relax knowing your home is secure and your best friend is in great hands!
Ratings and reviews
Matt is one of the best people I know. He is very reliable. Matt is very good with animals. Kind, caring, and gentle. Your animals will be in good hands with him!
I have known Matthew his whole life and watched him grow up around a wide variety of animals: cats, dogs, fish, mice, and even a turtle. He has previously helped me care for both cats and fish, and even a bearded dragon, while I was away on vacation. With his own dog, he is dedicated to giving that canine every luxury he can afford, and I have known him to be nothing but kind and gentle with every animal that has ever crossed his path. He would make for a caring and attentive pet caregiver.

Schedule
I’m a part-time student at an online university with lots of flexibility, so my availability is near-constant! Living in downtown Middletown has granted me considerable freedom when it comes to any commute - be that on foot, by bike, or by car.
