Pet care experience
Most importantly, I want the owners to feel comfortable with knowing their dogs/cats are in good hands, but I also want the dogs/cats to be comfortable with me as well. I do really well with all sorts of dogs from pups to elderly, small to large, and rescues. Let's schedule a meet and greet to see if we're a good fit. With that, I want your dog to feel as if you never left or even that they are on a vacation themselves. Previously, dogs I have cared for enjoy seeing me again and again and the owners had only positive things to say. Ultimately, less stress on the owners, pups, and myself. I will adapt my schedule to meet that of that dog to ensure that the impact of a change is less prevalent. My schedule provides me plenty of time to be at home for all the scratches and pets. On top of that, on my weekends I love to go for Hikes and runs. It is LA, so the more time I can have outside the better! Also, my schedule is really flexible for when the sitting needs to begin and end. Moreover, I can guarantee plenty of pup love, scratches, cuddles, playing, etc. Your pup(s) will be returned to you just as happy and healthy as when you handed them off to me. With the owner's permission, I would love to take any dog I am sitting on a run, hike, or even to go out and socialize with others. Days of relaxing in are always welcome. Who doesn't want to take pups out for a fun day in the sun? If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to answer them. Also, note that some of my last reviews are years old. I took a break from Rover as the pandemic hit and then life took my on a crazy move. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out with them!
Reviews
Matt was awesome to work with! He took great care of the dogs and sent lots of pictures and updates. We were able to enjoy a stress free vacation knowing that they were in good hands. Highly recommended.
Great sitter!
Matt is a fantastic sitter! We hate leaving our dog when we go out of town but Matt was wonderful about communicating, sending lots of updates and photos, and constantly reassuring us that our boy was in excellent hands. Matt gave our dog all the love and attention he demands (which is a lot) and even took him on a little outing to the farmers market! We returned from our trip to a very tired, happy pup and spotless home. I truly can't say enough good things about Matt.
Matthew was great! He was communicative, takes great pictures, and treated my home with respect. I will hire him again without hesitation.

My biggest rule is to follow the animal parent's rules. I tend to stick to schedules provided by the client, and focus on reducing the amount of change the animal might feel while their parents are away. most of my time in the animal's environment will be for pets, scratches, and playing! Unless it is a cat that want's to be left alone! ha!
Information Matthew K. would like to know about your pet
Most importantly, I want to know the pup's schedule to ensure that I stick closely to that. I pride myself on keeping the dog's day-to-day similar to when the parents around so there is not a huge change. Next, I want to know the things he or she likes or dislikes. I want to keep a happy pup all around.
A typical day
Going on walks through town and parks, plus runs if the weather is nice and if the dog wants to. Of course, tons of playing and snuggles. And treats.

Availability
I work a regular 9-5 job most of the time. I do travel for work often, but would make sure o animals are in my care/block that out in my calendar. Weekends are my ideal time to pet sit so I can give them all the time in the world, but open to weekdays as well!
