Matt is a wonderful pet sitter. Our Buddy stayed with him for 8 days while we were on vacation in Tennessee. Buddy is a seizure dog that requires a lot of daily meds. Matt took very good care of making sure Buddy had his medicine. He also gave us daily updates and was so good at making our boy feel comfortable and taken care of. We also had a meet and greet prior to his stay. We were very pleased with the safe accommodations Matt provided for our a buddy. I would highly recommend Matt if you are in need of a sitter, he truly cares for the animals he takes care of.

Matthew is great with your cherished and loved fur child. We booked a stay for 8 days for a cruise Our dog is a finicky eater and he was patient and did the best to ensure she ate. He would send a Pic daily and assured us she was safe and well cared for. He requested a pre stay meet and greet whi h shows he wants to insure his accommodations would be safe and suitable. I would highly recommend him. Stay 7/4/26 - 7/12/26

I would not book with this sitter again. My dog was injured in a dog altercation during her stay and I was not notified when it happened because “ it was like 1030 pm and i was going to bed“ . I only learned about the incident the next morning at pickup, despite my dog having multiple bite wounds that required a veterinary visit and antibiotics. I understand accidents can happen, but owners should be informed immediately when their pet is injured so they can make decisions about their care. The delayed communication was unacceptable and very upsetting.

We’ve used Matt multiple times now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. He watched Luna for a full week and sent pics so we always knew she was happy and well. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs.
