Pet care experience
I’ve grown up around cats and dogs since I was 5 years old. Whether I’m in a park, a local brewery, or at a house party, you can usually find me finding the nearest animal. Multiple family members have relied on me to housesit over the past few years because they know I treat their animals as if they were my own.
Reviews
Matt was a great cat sitter! He even brought in my Amazon package and watered my outdoor plants when the weather got hot while I was away. Will book again.
Matthew is the definition of a "dog person" - he loves dogs of all kinds & has a natural knack for making them feel comfortable & loved. Matthew is an extremely trustworthy person who I would recommend with confidence to care for your doggo!
Matthew has cared for my two dogs, Charlie & Tillie, on multiple occasions! He lovingly fed, played, and walked my dogs while I was either traveling or working. Matthew is always my first pick when I am looking for a caregiver for my beloved pups! Charlie and Tillie absolutely adore Matthew.
I’ve been using Matthew for years to take care of my babies (as of recent, a human baby too 😉). My husband and I tend to travel a few times a year and since my pets are spoiled, Matthew stays at my house to care for them in their comfort zones. Not only does he care for my pets as they were his own, but he provides updates on them with pictures to calm my nerves. When I started using Matt, we had a family dog who would actually smile ear to ear when Matt was at the door. Matt took our baby on long walks and would play until our boy was tired out. Additionally we have two cats in the house, one older and one kitten. Both cats are on different diets and require some TLC of different levels (have I mentioned how spoiled my animals are?) He’s incredibly respectful, but most importantly, he’s responsible AND reliable! While I’m sad that I’ll have to start sharing Matt with other families, I couldn’t be happier to share and BRAG about my experiences with Matthew. You and your pet will not regret having Matthew at your service!
About Matthew L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While my current living situation does not allow me to house pets, I am willing and able to come to you for a meeting and later drop in for all your pets to keep them as comfortable as they can be in their own environment.
Information Matthew L. would like to know about your pet
Any special allergy or diet regimens? I am happy to help give oral or topical medications as well. What is your pup’s necessary activity level? We all love a lounging rainy day from time to time, but I want to make sure we’re getting the exercise we need!
A typical day
If cleared by you, I would love to take your dog to the nearest dog run to allow them to play with some other neighborhood pups. If your dog prefers alone time I will take them anywhere that they can safely explore.
