Husband-wife pet sitting team

Pet care experience

We have grown up with a love for all kinds of family pets, including dogs. My wife Grace started pet sitting at age 10, and has had dogs her entire life. We hope to have our own dog some day, but right now are living in a small apartment that makes that difficult. So in the meantime we would love the chance to spend time with yours providing them the care and affection they need when you're away! This is something we are doing together, so between the two of us we have more flexibility and availability than we would if it were one of us alone. We're both active and like spending time outdoors, but also enjoy spending time around the house, so would be happy to take care of both outside and home-bound dogs.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and Matthew has been my pet sitter and did a WONDERFUL job! It was a LOT of pets to take care of and he could not have done a better job! It is so nice to go out of town for a trip and not have to worry AT ALL about your pets because they are in good, capable hands. Matthew is VERY responsible and extremely trust worthy. He also obviously really loves animals. My pets loved him and were ALL very relaxed and happy when I returned home. I do not have a fenced yard so it was a bit more complicated then just opening a door and letting everyone out to potty. One of my dogs can try to escape through the door if you are not careful and because Matt is so conscientious and careful Cypress did not escape at all. I HIGHLY recommend Matthew as a dog or cat sitter. I am sure he could also do a great job with any other types of pets as well.

Matthew is very dependable and trustworthy and kind. He is not easily flustered and can handle any situation that arises. Our dog is very old (17 human years) and Matthew is sensitive to his needs. Your dog will be in good hands with Matthew.

Matthew and his wife Grace are very caring people and it definitely translates to how they care for animals! I've had them take care of my 50lb dog multiple times and they are always reliable and give her lots of love and attention. I'm a little overprotective of who I let petsit due to the fact my dog has some aggression issues towards other dogs, and they have been able to handle her perfectly and I completely trust them. They are willing to go above and beyond to send you updates, stay at your home with the animal, and water plants, etc. I definitely recommend them!
