Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

Hi! my name is Matthew and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, from energetic puppies to seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and deeply passionate about animals. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a comforting presence while you’re away, I tailor my care to your pet’s needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re gone. I’m currently working as a data analyst for Harris Teeter and am using this money to save for a house for me and my soon to be fiancé. I would love to be considered for a pet sitting opportunity for you and your furry loved ones!

Safety, trust & environment

If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring your pet gets consistent companionship and care while keeping things clean and tidy. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any special needs so your pet always feels at ease. After my stay, I make sure the surfaces are wiped down, the sheets/ towels are in the wash, and your dog has plenty of food, water, and potty breaks before I leave!

Matthew took great care of our 3 pups while we were away. They warmed to him quickly. He has a gift with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to sit with our dogs in the future. We highly recommend Matthew

My husband and I had Matthew take care of my two dog babies over Fourth of July weekend and he was wonderful! I never had to wonder if they were being fed or behaving because he sent plenty of pictures and updates over text. He is a very polite and mature young man, I would trust my babies with him any time!

Schedule

Caring for pets is a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday life. I structure my days around their needs—whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or medication. I enjoy staying active, so walking dogs or spending time outdoors with them fits in perfectly. I also make time for quiet bonding moments like brushing or cuddling, especially for senior pets or those who need extra comfort.
