Highlights
Pet care experience
Care from a lifelong animal lover
I've had cats my whole life, so I'm used to the day to day of caring for an animal and noticing when something's off. I've also dog sat for my aunt a handful of times: feeding, walks, letting them out, and keeping them company. I'm reliable and I actually pay attention. I'll follow whatever routine your pet is already used to instead of forcing my own, and I'll send updates so you're not left wondering how they're doing while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
For visits and house sitting, I follow whatever routine you already have. You tell me the feeding, walks, and any quirks, and I stick to it exactly instead of improvising. I'll make sure doors and gates stay shut, keep an eye on how your pet is doing, and message you if anything seems off. I have a cat of my own at home, so I'm used to keeping an animal safe, fed, and on a schedule.
Ratings and reviews
We really enjoyed Matthew as our sitter. He was very gracious, kind and professional. He adapted well to our chaos (😂) and he cleaned up after himself! It was pretty amazing to come home to the kitchen clean, bed sheets stripped and the dogs having been walked and looking perfectly happy. Felt so good to know they were so well cared for. We would absolutely love to have Matthew again.
Matt has taken care of our dog at our house for our past three vacations. He loves animals, sent pictures of our dog on walks, and left the house neat. Our dog quickly moved from sleeping in her normal spot to sleeping in the room that Matt was using, so she was very comfortable with him!
Matt absolutely loves animals. He has always loved animals of any kind and is always excited about being around animals. He is amazing with animals and very devoted to them. I would recommend him to anyone who has a pet. He will love their pet and do anything possible for the animal.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible right now, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, including weekdays. I'm happy to work around whatever your pet's routine already is rather than making them fit mine, and I can be reliable about timing.
