❤ 🐱 & 🐶 Attention to Detail

Pet care experience

I’m a compassionate, attentive cat and dog sitter, as well as a grad student who can be at home with your pup during the day. **Daycare hours are generally set for drop off between 8-10 am and pick up between 2-4pm.** Ever since I was a child, I have had a love for dogs and have been looking out for their best interest. Dogs love unconditionally, and so do I. I have helped out with various pet rescues in South Florida. I have experience taking care of small to large dog breeds, especially Maltipoos, Shetland Sheepdogs, Chihuahuas, mix breeds, Poodle mixes, Shih Tzu, Greyhounds, & especially rescues. I have also taken care of needy dogs who are on special diets or need to take medicine. Since my dog recently passed away, dog sitting allows me to bond with pups and experience the love and joy they bring to each day.

Matthew was great with Charlie and made me feel at ease while traveling. He sent a ton of pictures and kept me up to date on all things as they related to my cocker. I will def be using him again.

Matthew took great care of my Doodle dogs when I lived in Delray and highly recommend him since I recently moved to Coral Ridge/Wilton Manors. Very caring, my dogs love him, and attentive to detail and has years of experience. We use to have a cat too and my cat Felix adored Matthew.

Matt was an exceptional pet sitter. Consistently sent picture updates throughout his visits with both my dog and cat. Would highly recommend!

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

What makes me a great sitter is my attention to detail. I keep in touch with my clients to provide consistent updates on their dog’s stay. Your dog’s safety is my top priority, so I listen attentively to your dog’s needs, and stick closely to their regular routine.

A typical day

I am home most days or out taking care of cats and dogs. We will go on lots of walks, spend quality time snuggling on the couch, and stick to a feeding schedule that closely mirrors your dog’s usual schedule. My neighborhood is called Wilton Manors. I live in a gated community — we have 2 gated dog parks within the community and sidewalks that surround the beautiful landscaping. I live in a townhouse with tile floors throughout — everything is doggie-proofed, so the house is safe for dogs.
