Highlights
Pet care experience
Now Caring For ANY Animal!
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!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
While I cannot board your animal in my home for the time being, I will ensure all instructions are properly followed in regards to feeding, medicinal applications, house policies, preferred walking routes, and anything else you direct me to do while caring for your pets!
Ratings and reviews
This brief sitting in our home was great. Matt attended to our Corgi "Harry" in every way, and Harry took to him easily. Matt's communications left us with confidence that our home and four-legged friend were safe.
Thank goodness for Matthew!!! My dogs love him, even my quirky one. He takes his time with each dog and makes sure they all get lots of attention. He kindly also checks in on my cats. He sends me updates letting me know how things went which makes my day go smoother because I don't have to worry about my animals. Plus, he's been able to be flexible with his schedule when I have to make changes. I highly recommend Matthew!
Matthew was great. He met our very specific expectations as over-worried parents to 2 pampered and sensitive rescue dogs. We'll hire him again.
Matthew took excellent care of our big rowdy pittie and our home! Thanks Matthew!
Matt is AMAZING! My two french bulldogs can be a HANDFUL! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find anyone who would want to watch them because my younger frenchie has a tendency to be quite nasty to my older boy & he also has a need to constantly establish dominance with ANYONE who comes to my house, but Matt was up for the challenge! I did not have to worry once the entire weekend! He was in constant communication with me, updating me on their behavior and even sent me pictures. I cleaned my house before leaving for vacation and was worried that when I returned it would be a mess because of the dogs- they act like feral frenchies & will sprint inside with dirt all over their paws and jump on the couch and on my white rugs- they just dgaf-(like most frenchies though, right?) But to my surprise my house was spotless- if Matt was able to watch Loki & Diesel without any problems - then I can assure you- he will have no problem looking after your 4 legged baby/babies! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you for everything Matt! You are the best!
Matthew was friendly, professional, and reliable. Our three dogs met him with wagging tails (which is the best judge of character!). Matthew kept us updated, sending pictures while we were gone to make us feel comfortable during his first visit with us. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house, and are happy we have a new trustworthy and reliable sitter for our fur babies (and fish!).

Schedule
I'm a self employed musician so my schedule is extremely flexible besides weekend evenings. Even then I am sometimes available when I don't have a gig!
