Quite charming Sitter and home.

Pet care experience

It's just my dog Catalina and myself. I work out of my home, I'm a tailor and alterations, there is plenty of time and space for your little one too. I've always had dogs, and cats, they're my children. Yours will be no different. Your little ones will be right at home (or at your home) while in my care. They'll get plenty of excersise and lots of play time with my own dog, she loves to play with me and any other dog she's around and she’s great around cats and kittens. I often foster kittens since she is so good with them. She really loves teaching how to play. Ask for my videos! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about any of my services offered. I also update you with pictures, and text if requested.....Si hablo español. :)

I recently had the pleasure of having my dog Chance looked after by a wonderful dog sitter. Matt was absolutely amazing with Chance and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. He was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I could tell that Chance was having a great time and was in good hands. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Matt, for taking such great care of Chance! 🐾🐶

Today was our first day and Matthew was incredibly easy to work with. He was excellent with communication leading up to and throughout the time he was with our pup. He was helpful and thoughtful and look forward to working with him again.

Horrible experience. He did not follow food schedule for my pet.he fed his own cooked food when it was clearly mentioned to giv him kibble..he never stayed at my house considering it was a house sitting service. When asked about all of these violations he was rude..he did care well for my pup, took him to beach n stuff but all i was expecting is a sober house sitting experience

Information Matthew K. would like to know about your pet

Any bad behaviors or habits, any triggers, or dislikes. Remember, the more I know the better equipped I am during your pets stay. We want your pet to be as happy as possible while you're away.

A typical day

We go to the local dog parks, or there's plenty of play here waiting with Catalina. Car rides, puppachinos from Starbucks, walks, runs, to the lake in weather permitted. I like the dog park in Winnetka, Its small and clean, and not a lot of dogs.

So I know what it means to need a sitter that can go the extra mile. This was part in why I started sitting. I myself cook my dogs food, so there is a lot of prepping for her that. Couldn't always find sitters that were able to meet my needs. I have a high maintenance routine for my dog, so. I can accommodate an equally high maintenance request.
