Care Cardio and Camera

TLDR; Reliable, experienced pet care with a personal touch. Dog jogger. Plus optional photo and video add-ons to capture your pet’s best moments Hi! I’m Matt. Big animal lover and lifelong dog person here. I grew up in a corgi-loving family, and the current “reigning corgi” is Henry — small dog, big personality packed into that loaf of bread. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether it’s a before-sunrise walk, an overnight stay, or just company while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to their comfort, energy, and quirks because every animal has their own personality, and I love getting to know them. Pets deserve genuine, personalized care — not just a quick walk around the block. I follow your routines, give plenty of attention and playtime, stay alert to their mood and needs, and provide updates so you always know how they’re doing. I also have a passion for photography and video editing. If you’d like, I can film a short “day in the life” video of your pet with my GoPro and iPhone setup — complete with fun edits, music, and photos. It’s a unique keepsake and totally optional add-on for any booking. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first — and I aim to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. .

Safety, trust & environment

Matthew was amazing, and I could tell instantly he deeply cared about my dog. So grateful for him and the ability to travel while knowing my elderly boy was in good hands!

Matthew was professional and prompt. He was able to come help me out last minute, which I really appreciated. My dog cans back happy and worn out 🙂

Matthew is a terrific dog sitter and I highly recommend him. Matt has taken care of my older dog many times and I am always relaxed when I leave her with him. I know Matt takes excellent care of my dog, feeding her twice a day, walking her often and spending time with her, including staying with her overnight. My dog loves Matt. Matt also is a great house sitter.

Matthew is the best !!! He’s stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane multiple times when we’ve gone out of town. Super trustworthy, great with dogs . We always get updates and pictures so we know she’s doing well and getting cared for. It’s so reassuring knowing your pets are in good hands when you’re not around. Highly recommend !!

How does your pet behave around their care taker, strangers, other animals, and children? Has there has been any aggressive behavior before? Is there anywhere they don’t like to be pet.
