I work full time, but with a very flexible schedule and entirely from home. This makes it really easy to pop out for a quick trip to the park and take breaks to play.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fairly spacious home and can accommodate playing indoors as well as making sure there is a designated safe home base for the dog if needed. There aren't really any areas that are off limits, but I do have the ability to add gates if needed. Lots of natural light make it a really comfy space. Our house is relatively kid proofed (in a friend brings their kid) so no other pets or hazards.

Pet care experience

I'm often the person that folks reach out to at the last minute to help look after their dogs or kids (or kid-like dogs). I live in Dogpatch, a block from Esprit Park, and work from our spacious home there. I'd be happy to take dogs out on adventures to Crane Cove, Potrero Hill, or nearby at Esprit, or just hang out at home to keep each other company. If appropriate (and time permits), I can also take dogs hiking, to the beach, or for runs too. I volunteer as a mountain Search and Rescue member and have my WFR and First Aid BLS, although that's not as relevant to dogs. I am American Red Cross Certified for Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR.

Matt is an excellent pet caregiver. He is very responsible and very caring about any living things. I wouldn't hesitate to have him pet-sit or check in on my two cats. He is attentive to detail and will make sure the job is done right and with love and care!

Matt is such a fantastic human and very trustworthy. He's smart, responsible, communicative, and wonderful with our pup, Sully. Cannot recommend him more! You and your pooch will absolutely love him!

Matt has watched my 50lb greyhound/pitt mix Nala and cat Kuma several times when I've had to go out of town for work, emergencies, or both. He has come to be one of their favorite people and is always responsive to needs and requests (medication timing when needed, extra walking/exercise time, etc). I highly recommend him as a phenomenal dog (and cat) sitter!

Matt took great care of my lab/collie mix Ella when we lived in the same neighborhood. She loved spending time outside on the balcony or in the neighborhood and cuddling on the couch. He was great with all instructions we left and Ella was very happy to go stay again the next times! 10/10 recommend!
