Dog/cat lover
I've had dogs my whole life. Currently have two lab mixes, Chloe and Rex - literally the loves of my life. I genuinely care for animals and would treat your pet as I would my own.

Ratings and reviews
Matt kept my 35 pound lab mix for 5 days over a holiday weekend and gave her wonderful care! She got tired out playing with his adorable dogs and kept an eye his cat from afar, haha. Matt is a caring and attentive host, flexible with my misbehaving love bug. Would definitely recommend!
From the moment I met Matthew, we connected instantly over our shared love for animals. He has cared for my precious fur baby, Milana, on numerous occasions and always treats her as if she were his own. I’ll admit—I’m a little particular when it comes to her care, and I have a detailed checklist of tasks that must be followed while I’m away. Matthew not only met every requirement but went above and beyond. He made treat time fun by turning it into a scavenger hunt (her favorite!) and even remembered to tell her she’s beautiful—twice—during each visit. He kept me updated daily with messages and adorable pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind. Matthew has consistently provided Milana with the kind of VIP care every pet parent hopes for. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive caregiver for their furry family members.
I have known Matthew for over 20 years, and he has been a pet owner the entire time. The love, attention, companionship and commitment he shows to both his cats and dogs is outstanding. He ensures his pets receive the best diet possible, sometimes even cooking fresh chicken, rice and veggies for them. Matthew has a wonderful personality that deeply loves and cares for all pets. On numerous occasions, he has told his friends to bring their dogs to his house if he is hosting a get together. The compassion he shows not only his animals, but his friends animals is impressive. The dogs that come to visit him get excited every time they see him (probably because they know they are going to get spoiled). He will truly treat your pet like his own. Matthew is an amazing person, pet owner, and friend.
Matthew is my husband and over the last 15 years I have first hand witnessed his love and care for our own pets. He is the “main” human in their lives and they adore him. Matt is attentive to their emotions and needs - very intune to their feelings and physical health. He makes them food from scratch, bone broth and homemade biscuits. He will even plan some vacations where we can bring our dogs and show them a good time too. Anyone would be lucky to have Matt care for their pet.

Schedule
I am home 90% of the time and available to provide top notch love and care. Living in Scituate, we take advantage of walks every day on the beach. I have gone down a path of making my own dog food with healthy nutritious ingredients.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I would care for your pets as I would my own. I know how it feels to leave your precious baby with a sitter, and how important it is to have that trust. I would care for your pet and honor any special requests from you.
