Information Matthew T. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their routine, personality, and any special needs or medical info so I can give them the best care possible. It also helps me make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away

A typical day

I make sure pets have a balanced day of walks, playtime, and relaxation. I give them lots of attention, keep them on their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Matt is an excellent and caring petsitter. He knows how to read the cues of pets well and is always attentive to what they need. Matt has taken care of my cats while I have taken weekend trips for the past three years, and has always provided the highest level of care for my cats while leaving my home in pristine condition. Additionally, Matt has over 10 years of dog-walking experience. His dog-walking style allows the dog to explore and sniff, while also keeping them on track and ensuring their excrements are cleaned up and disposed of properly. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone needing care for their pet, whether it be dog-walking or caring for a pet in your home.

Matthew has taken care of my cats at least a dozen times, and I genuinely can’t say enough good things about him. From the very beginning, he’s always been incredibly communicative and thoughtful. He clearly cares very much about the animals he looks after. Matt takes the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, which makes such a difference. My cats can be very particular, and he’s always been so patient and attentive with them. Whether it’s a quick overnight or a longer stay, I always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in his care. He goes above and beyond in ways that mean a lot- like taking one of my cats out for his daily walks and handling medications when needed (including using an inhaler for my cat with asthma). It’s clear he’s experienced and truly invested in their wellbeing. I am so lucky to have found someone I trust so much with my pets. I would recommend Matthew to anyone without hesitation- your pets will be in such good hands with him. <3
