Providing Professional Tail Waggles

Pet care experience

I've spent over 20 years taking care of pets professionally, and want to help you with your decision to find the best alternative care while away. In particular, I work with animals that have high anxiety or attachment difficulty. Your absence is a change to their routine, and they're going to miss you! After years of working with pet behaviorists and trainers, I've developed good habits engaging with furry friends. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I want to connect with your pet in a way that is comfortable for them. Do you sing to your pet? Talk in nonsense? Let's do it! I look to maintain familiar routines while providing care in your absence. Curious? Ask me how I can help.

Once again, Matthew has exceeded expectations! We are so grateful for the time he spent with our cat while we were away from home, and for the ADORABLE pictures he shared with us! He will always be our trusted go-to 🐾

Matthew is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He took care of our boys over Thanksgiving and we are so grateful. He has watched our dogs several times now and they consider him like family! Thanks so much!

Matthew was great! He helped us in a pinch and was someone we could really count on. He was communicative, friendly and thorough. We truly felt our pups were in great hands with him. We are actually using him again over Thanksgiving, so would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Matthew is incredible! Very patient with our (sometimes) scaredy-cat O’Malley, and spends extra time with him even on days he hunkers under the couch. We appreciate his thorough updates and know he’s in excellent hands. Thank you, Matthew! 🐾

Pet care comes first, I'm available on any schedule needed. My work doesn't have typical hours, and when I work can be pushed out. That means your furry friends come first!
