Matthew is an extremely responsible, caring and active individual. He has grown up raising animals of all kinds and caring for neighbors, friends and families animals as well. He would go above and beyond to make sure your animal is well cared for. I have trusted him in many instances to watch our family cat, Rupert when we are away or unable to make it home on time. As cats go, they are quite often skittish and need time to warm up to a new human. Matthew has gone out of his way to build a nurturing relationship with him to make sure Rupert trusts and feels comfortable around him. I can honestly say our cat likes him more than he likes us. It would be 100% be in your best interest to have Matthew care for your animals.
