I am in-between jobs right now and am looking for some extra work on the side. I am home most of the time, and would look forward to help out with pet care.

Matthew and his family took great care of Kobe over the weekend! They have a big yard and Kobe was in good spirits when we picked him up.

Mona had such a great time with Matt! We got regular picture and video updates of Mona having a great time in the yard and on walks. I would definitely board Mona with Matt again!

Matt is a true dog lover and a great friend to both of my pups! He's incredibly responsible and gentle with them, showering them with affection while respecting their boundaries every time he sees them. His own dog is also friendly and well-behaved around other dogs. I've been so impressed with his ability to handle and interact with my dogs that I can't wait to book him for a stay!

Matt was great with my parents' dog Finn 🥰 He played lots with Babi (Matt's dog) and seemed to be well tired out each day! Super friendly and easy to communicate with too. I would definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future :)
