Highlights
Pet care experience
On a mission to pet every puppers!
Hello fellow animal lovers! My name's Matt and I'm a Texas State grad enjoying life in San Antonio, where I've just recently moved from Austin to a home nestled in the Thousand Oaks/McAlister Park area. I work from home and am flexible in my commitments, which means constant care and attention for your furry friend! I've been around pets all my life, from having my own growing up to going off to college and enjoying the company of others'. I have no concerns with particular breeds or sizes. All are loved and welcomed! I also have a great deal of experience caring for older pups, as my mother and I rescued many strays and abandoned animals throughout my childhood. If you'd like to know anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm able and willing to accommodate most any request or need. Whether that's being mindful of strict dietary restrictions, providing plentiful exercise, or giving love and care to high-energy pets, no request is too much to handle. I'm accommodating of all energy levels, so happy to take your furry friends out for a walk or enjoy a little play in between work should it be a weekday. I'm also available most weekends and am happy to go elsewhere to their favorite park or trail in the area. I strive for proactive communication and to ease separation challenges, so don't be surprised if I send one too many pics of your kiddos at play 🙂
Ratings and reviews
Matthew is always so great with my old, peculiar dog, with a very particular routine. Bo is always so relaxed when I get home and happy too keep to his schedule. We definitely recommend Matthew for any of your pet sitting needs.
Matthew was amazing with my dogs and took great care of my house. Highly recommend!
Matthew was sweet and gentle with my old, special needs dog. Bo was so relaxed when I got home. We will definitely book with Matthew again.
Matthew was great per usual. It’s hard to travel comfortably when you have senior dogs that are spoiled and set in their ways. Knowing Matthew is with our babies makes our trips more enjoyable! Thank you again!
Matthew took great care of our two goldens while we were on vacation! I appreciate that he took the time to do a meet and greet and worked to meet different needs for each of our dogs. Our home was also left in great condition!
Matthew is my go-to guy! He is awesome with my old doggo, even carrying him when his legs have given out. My place always looks exactly as I left it when I come back. Best of all, Matthew has gone above and beyond to work with my schedule changes. He's just the best!
