Highlights
Pet care experience
May the fur be with you!
Previously moved from West Virginia where I did daily walks and pet sitting full-time after leaving a career in Public Health. I would take my clients on walks, hiking, running in fields, or swimming. My services are tailored based on the needs of the dog, family’s needs, and providing necessary pet sitting services when needed both in-home and boarding. Certified through the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and first aid trained.
Cat care experience
Matthew also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I want to ensure animals are cared for in a safe and healthy environment. The biggest priority is the well being of the pet by ensuring a secure and nurturing setting. Any services provided in-home will be done so with respect to privacy and confidentiality of the pet-parents home and any sensitive information will be handled with care.
Ratings and reviews
So impressed with Matthew's attentive care of our Loki! He truly loves animals and is willing to provide the care they need. We will definitely book Matt again!
Matt was wonderful with our dog, Odin! Odin loves long walks and Matt gave him the extra time he needs to walk and sniff…he sent pupdates and pictures. I will definitely be scheduling him again!
Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because he’s DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sends—they always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!

Schedule
I’m a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, this ensures flexibility based on the needs of the client’s and their pets. In most cases I can do on-demand walking or drop ins to help with life’s business.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsMatthew can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Medical needs- if the pets take medicine, need specific exercise, or just need wrapped in a blanket. Medical needs are biggest thing for me to know. In that regard- their energy level, how they interact socially, and their favorite things (ex. ball, swimming, head pats).
