Pet care experience

Some call me the cat whisperer.

Ive taken care of cats since I was a young boy. I have two of my own. Both calicos (spicy) so Im no stranger to temperamental kitties. I have experience feeding, scooping litter, playtime, administering medications or insulin injections and knowledge of diabetic cats. Rest assured ill treat your cat like my own, and maybe become best friends.

Matt was great as always! So nice to have someone you trust to take care of your cats while you're away.

Matt is so great! We felt very comfortable and confident in him during our recent trip out of town. He was very responsive and respectful. He did great with the cats, made sure they had food/water, clean litter, and played with them every day. He was willing to stop by before we left town so we could give him the spare key and show him where the cat supplies were. We will definitely be planning to book him again for future needs.

Great communication, very professional, immediately apparent that he knew his way around cats (was willing to crawl on the floor to get a picture of my skittish boy under the bed).

He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.
