Pet care experience

Vet technician and pet sitter!

I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with a family dog and also birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years, and now being the proud dad of 3 cats and 2 birds! Most recently, my experience and skills as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for not only dogs and cats, but all sorts of animals!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy engaging with the pets I come across to make their experience a fun one and to get to know their different personalities. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the experience and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

Matthew was great, and made everything so easy. He had a sense of confidence and calm that made us feel like we didn't need to worry that he'd be able to take care of anything that came up for the doggos. He stayed at the house, and was so thoughtful about bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking care of the bedding. Highly recommended for pet/house sitting!

Matt was awesome with an Oliver. He not only took care of Oliver as his own but also helped with the feeder which malfunctioned and even fed my pond fish.and he also helped me out with some pool pictures I needed. He sent pics and updated us and went above and beyond. Will definately be using him again.

We were nervous to leave out dog since he had an injury about two months ago, but Matthew put our fears at ease! It’s very clear he treats your pets like his own. He asked lots of great questions, administered medications, and kept our dog and our cat very happy. Will definitely book again when he’s available!

Matthew did a good job taking care of our cats. He house sat for us for a week and left everything in perfect order. We came home to happy cats.

Matthew has been an amazing pet sitter and care taker for my two boys, including my senior cat with significant health concerns. I was kept updated with each visit, and Matt was very communicative with medications and how much each boy ate. I feel secure whenever Matt watched my boys!

Schedule

I'm currently working full time at a veterinary hospital. My work schedule does change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention, as long as they’re good with being alone for a few hours. During the week, I will be able to take care of any pets in the morning before work and in the afternoon when I come home after work. If I’m close enough, I can also stop by during my lunch to hang out with any pets that may need extra attention.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Matthew can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If your pets need any medications or have any special needs, please let me know so that I can make the necessary accommodations for them.
