Caring, Empathetic Animal Caretaker
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, all in a family of 5 siblings. I’ve worked alongside vets internationally for a non profit. My care for animals matches my care for others—I strive to treat everyone and everything the way I’d expect to be treated.
Reviews
Matthew is a great caretaker to Benny. He had fun and had a great time with Matthew. I ran out of dog food and Matthew offered to get more while I was out of the country. Definitely will use Matthew again.
Matthew is an excellent pet-sitter! He has had plenty of experience taking care of my dogs and cats. His kind and patient demeanor calms animals down and they feel very safe with him. He’s also great with active dogs that need more physical activity. I have no doubt he will be a reliable, responsible, and loving pet sitter for you too!
I enthusiastically endorse Matthew as a pet sitter for your needs. Matthew's kindness towards pets has been demonstrated in his ability to create a caring and trusting environment for any new furry friend. He has first-hand experience growing up with dogs of his own. When looking after your pet, Matthew will provide a level of attention and empathy that will exceed expectations.
I lived with Matthew for 3 years and he was always a very responsible person. He is professional and courteous with his interactions with all friends, fury and otherwise. In my years of knowing Matthew he has always kept a consistent schedule and routine for personal and professional events. His care for others and animals is something I admire and hope for more of in this world. He will make an excellent pet care provider, I am certain.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and roomy interior. My parents are both in medicine and this rubbed off on me as a lifeguard and later a wilderness first responder. Though I know first response, I’ve since hung up the gloves for life on the keyboard

A typical day
I’m a big walker and there’re a lot of great open spaces in the neighborhood for roaming. Around the home there’s plenty of room for fetch or rest, whatever’s needed
