Pet care experience

A tired dog is a happy dog

I have had many breeds of dogs over the years both big and small. I also have taken care of many more in the mean time just as recently taken care of and walked a senior doggo for last 18 months. I also have taken care of several breeds of dogs of all sizes and energy levels.So with that in mind depending on size energy levels and needs of your loved one will depend on what I can do on pricing

Our third time having Matthew watch our dog, and he was well cared for, as one of his own. Always good catching up with them.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 03, 2026

I had booked Matthew for pet sitting for a planned short trip. I also booked him for 3 short visits before my trip so that my fur kids could get to know him better and be comfortable with him during my trip. I was really happy with Matthew's service. He always shows up on time, communicates really well, and treats my pets with kindness and respect. I also like the pictures he sent, so I could see how they were doing.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2026

Matthew is a fantastic pet sitter. He communicates well, always shows up on time, and is very reliable. He is kind, gentle, and patient with my pets. I would definitely hire Matthew again. I needed to go on a short trip and was really worried about leaving my 2 little dogs and 2 cats, especially since two of them are senior and require medications and special attention, and are not used to being around people they don't know well. Matthew was kind and gentle with them, and after a few days even my grouchy senior girl had warmed up to him. I was amazed that she laid in his lap and let him pet her tummy!

Matthew always takes such great care of my old lady! I never feel I have to worry when she’s with him.

Always a pleasure to work with. My dog whines a lot and Matthew is so patient and understanding. Matthew was very flexible on pick up times with my crazy schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small, unfenced yard for your loved fur baby to roam around in and a home inside to relax and play in while here. We also got a dog park for the little ones to run in on the property so they can burn off any extra energy.

A typical day

I love to take them out for more than just walks. I also will play fetch with them make cuddles and if they like to socialize I will let them meet other dog and people within the community that i live in. Where I live we also got a fenced in off leashed dog park where we can play and run off excessive energy they may have.
