Pet care experience
Over the past 20 years, I've lived, worked, and traveled through over 45 countries. The one thing I've really missed while traveling is the companionship of a pet. I've been a sitter in both Italy and London the past few months and have had nothing but fantastic experiences meeting lots of amazing pets and their owners. I had a pet care business in my neighborhood as a teenager and worked for a veterinarian for several summers during that time. In addition, my family always had lots of big dogs when I was growing up. I absolutely love all animals and will give your pets the complete love and attention they deserve while you are away.
Reviews
I cannot praise Matthew enough. He is the perfect house and dog sitter. He was just wonderful with our dog, who is a rescue and takes some time to get used to new people. He did things with her that we seldom do, she misses him for sure. He was taking care of the house and going the extra mile to do more than the basics we asked for. Matt is so pleasant and good company that we actually invited him to stay beyond the time we were away, as he was also great with our teenage boys. The problem with Matthew is you just don't want him to leave!
Matthew is a phenomenal house sitter. He loves Razio and the feeling was mutual.... they instantly got on well and enjoyed each other's company and time together. In terms of a "guest" Matthew was very clean, tidy, respectful and a perfect guest. He bought his own food even though we encouraged him to raid the larder, fridge and freezer and to enjoy the free alcohol and beer. 10/10 5Stars Would be 100% happy to include Matthew in our lives again.... with or without the dog sitting service
Matthew was not only a great house sitter but took exceptional care of my border collie, max. A very high maintenance pup, Matthew and max played well Together and no one got bored. I would highly recommend Matthew for both dog and house care. I will definitely use him Again.
