About Matthew O.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow and care for the pet as instructed by their owner and I respect the rules of their home. I always make sure the dog is on a leash when walking and the necessary cleanup, either in the backyard or on a walk.
Information Matthew O. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I see a lot of dog walkers out there, but not many dog runners. If you get a high energy pooch that needs a couple miles to burn off - I can do that by request. I generally just hang out with them. Watch tv. Play tug of war. Fetch if there’s room. I generally walk a dog I’m taking care of 2+ times a day for 20+ minutes.

Pet care experience
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. .

Reviews
Great sitter who took good care of my two cats!
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 punctual, reliable and communicative. We left Bubba in great hands! Highly recommend.
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 🙂
