Reliable In-Home Pet Care/Nail Trim

I provide in-home pet care with gentle nail trims and basic upkeep during visits, so dogs stay relaxed and avoid stressful car rides or groomer trips. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs through fostering, walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m calm, patient, and comfortable with nervous or high-energy dogs. All care is done at your pet’s pace with safety and comfort as the priority.

Matt is a responsible, trust worthy and extremely loving individual. A TOTAL animal person. After an emergency situation, Matthew watched dog, cat and lizard. He gave regular updates as requested and sent the most adorable photos of them spending time together. He had such an impact on my animals. My pets loved his time spent with Matthew and gets so excited to see him for occasional babysitting. It’s clear that he gave my babies such love and care. Matthew also shines in the presence unique and exotic animals. He can do it all. I fully trust him with my pets and know he will love him as his own!! Matthew is the best!!

Safety, trust & environment

I use calm handling techniques, follow owner instructions closely, and never rush pets, especially during nail trims. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and home security and will always reach out if anything seems off.

A typical day

I start each visit by letting your pet settle, then follow their normal routine. Walks, feeding, play, or downtime come first. Nail trims or basic upkeep are handled gently once your pet is relaxed. Every visit includes updates and photos.

Don’t hesitate to share your pet’s routine, temperament, fears, and any medical needs. If your dog has had nail trims before, knowing what works best helps keep things calm and smooth.
