Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll care for your pet like my own
I have worked in a pet store and as a veterinary nurse in South Australia. I’ve been a dog jogger in Sydney (aus) and Vancouver. I’ve worked for Battersea dog and cat home in London (UK) and rescued and fostered dogs myself. I take pet care very seriously. I have a lot of time and patience for animals. I studied environmental science and zoology for my degree and I’ve had to handle many wild animals with care in the past. I have a special fondness for senior dogs of all sizes and special needs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m a very focused dog sitter. I like to exercise a lot and no weather is so bad that I can’t get in a walk or run with a dog. If your dog is low energy then one of my favourite things is to lie on the floor together and cuddle. It lowers stress for both of us.
Ratings and reviews
Matthew as always is fantastic. I never have to worry about leaving my dog as I know Matthew will take extremely good care of him and give him long walks which he loves. Matthew also leaves the house cleaner than when I left it.
Absolutely outstanding pet sitter! Trust worthy! Our dog was so well cared for , a senior dog, and has dog reactivity, Mathew connected with him and cared for him as well or better than us! Left our house clean, and communicated very well. Thank you so much Mathew for giving us ease when away!
It was great to have Matthew care for Dexter 24/7, and he left me with peace of mind so I could enjoy my time away. Thank you Matthew.
Matthew was terrific - he is dependable, responsive and a really nice guy. He was great with Roscoe, giving him lots of exercise as well as quality downtime. A great experience all around.
Matt is an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was evident that he is a true animal lover and wants to provide the highest quality care. We booked Matt for in-home care for three days over Christmas for our challenging reactive rescue. From his consistent updates, it was easy to see that he was working to make sure our dog was exercised, safe, and loved. At the end of the stay, I realized I had given my dog the best Christmas present she could ever want- an exciting, yet relaxing, staycation. I recommend Matt for anyone looking for peace of mind while you're away, especially if you have a high energy dog. Thanks so much, Matt!
Where to start…for us Matthew is it. The absolute pinnacle of amazing. I’m pretty sure i missed my Martha more than she did me and that says a lot because we are joined at the hip. Simply the best and we won’t book anyone else for our girl period.

Schedule
I’m single and have no dependents. I can offer full time pet care in your home so your animals can have the routine they’re use to. If your pets are special needs I can stay with them most of the day. Leaving them alone as little as possible. I’m a runner and jogging with dogs is something I enjoy. I literally walk for hours every day so high energy dogs are right up my alley. Large breed and special needs are not a problem.
