I can be your Pet's Best New Friend

Pet care experience

My lifelong passion for animals has shaped my journey, from early involvement in animal care programs to immersive experiences in animal zoos and hands-on teaching ventures. Through self-education and specialized training, I've acquired comprehensive knowledge in caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and even horses. My expertise extends specifically to canine care, with years of dedicated experience in dog training, socialization, medication administration, grooming, and overall well-being. Whether it's walking dogs of all sizes, ages, or special needs, I am committed to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to each furry friend's unique requirements. As a responsible and dependable dog and cat caretaker, I prioritize your pet's needs above all else. If you're seeking a caregiver who will shower your beloved dog or cat with love, attention, and exercise while you're away, please reach out to me. Together, let's ensure your furry family member receives the exceptional care they deserve.

Matthew did a great job with our two dogs. They were well taken care of the week we were gone. He left things clean and communicated with us the entire time. Would reccomend Matthew!

Matthew was so good with our pup! He sent pictures throughout our trip and handled all of Tavo’ medications perfectly. When we picked our dog up he was a clean and happy boy. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Matthew is incredible. He's very communicative, timely, and thorough. He went above and beyond in his care for our two cats and we will absolutely be looking to work with him again. He has my highest recommendation for those in need of pet care.
