Your friendly neighborhood sitter🐾

I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.

Matthew went above and beyond for my pets. Matthew was amazing with giving me updates on how they were doing & showing me that they were okay.

Matthew is clearly a lover of dogs. He made a real effort to take care of my boys despite last minute plan and dangerous weather afoot. Going "above and beyond " is a compliment I rarely give because I rarely see it, but he certainly did. So im really glad I could have peace of mind amid chaotic travel arrangements.
