I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.

Information Matthew S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any allergies, requires medications, has previous injuries that would limit some activities, and any mood characteristics your dog generally portrays would be important information to be able to tailor a perfect and personal experience for you and your fur babies!

A typical day

As a pet sitter, my day begins early with checking on the pets in my care and making sure they have fresh food, water, and plenty of attention. Each morning starts with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime tailored to each pet's needs. Whether caring for energetic dogs, independent cats, or smaller animals, I focus on maintaining their regular routines so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Throughout the day, I visit clients' homes, provide exercise, administer medications when needed, and spend quality time with each pet. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages, giving them peace of mind that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. Every day brings something different, from long walks and games of fetch to quiet companionship and cuddle sessions. Being a pet sitter allows me to combine my love of animals with the responsibility of ensuring they are safe, healthy, and loved while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁

Very good! He was always attentive to every detail and never hesitated to do what we asked him to do. He’s very kind and fantastic with our animals.
