Now Caring For ANY Animal!

Pet care experience

I grew up with many kinds of animals and love them all! In my youth, I worked at a humane society taking care of dogs and cats. My mother could never say no to a rescue, so I was pretty constantly surrounded by new paws to care for. I mucked stalls for a time and love horses. Pigs, fish, chickens, alpaca, cows, ducks, and snakes are other creatures I can care for with ease. I'm also a vegetarian, so I definitely won't eat your pet!

Matthew did a great job. He offered to stop by to meet our dogs a couple days prior, was great at communicating and arrive perfectly on-time. We'll definitely ask him back when we need a sitter.

Matthew took great care of our dog and home. We felt very comfortable being away for over a week. Looking forward to having him dog sit again this summer!

Matthew is amazing!!! We never worried about a thing and he was so great with our menagerie of pets! He was very communicative and timely as well. We will for sure be booking with him again! 10/10 recommend Matthew!

Matthew is very responsive and easy to work with. He was flexible with us on scheduling drop-ins and answered any questions we had. Our pets went right to him on his first visit and were not apprehensive around him. He communicated with us and provided pictures of our pets during his visit. This our first time using a pet sitter and we would highly recommend Matthew.
