Hire me to hang with your pets!

Hey there, I’m Mattie. I work remotely for a great nonprofit & tend to need supplemental income. I have had pets, been around pets, & done pet sitting almost my entire life. Many of my reviews are from previous years— I stepped away from dog sitting as life got busy but I’m looking for regular dog sitting clients once again in 2026. I hope my references from previous dog sitting stints display that I am a reliable & outstanding caregiver. I’d love to come hang out with your four legged friends whenever you need me and will send lots of updates & pictures your way so you know your pet is in good hands. I am unable to bring pets to my house as it doesn’t allow any animals on the premises, however, I’ll be sure to be respectful of your home when I visit. If you need your plants watered or errands ran while you are away, I am happy to help out. Please don’t hesitate to reach out 🐶

Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.

Mattie was GREAT. Communicated with us well, even sending a picture of the babies. She seemed to enjoy the pets and said she is looking forward to her next scheduled stay with our fur babies.

Mattie was fantastic and super easy to work with when we needed an overnight dog sitter for the weekend. Our three dogs are a lot to handle and are typically untrusting of new people, but they warmed up to Mattie super quickly and we got pictures of happy puppies while we were away; so Mattie is now our go-to dog sitter. 10/10 recommend.

Mattie took care of our two dogs and cat, including a 3 month old puppy. The house was spotless when we came back, and she was very communicative. She scheduled a meet-up beforehand, sent us pictures of the dogs, and followed our very lengthy directions. Only thing we missed were pictures of our kitty - but she may have been hiding, and we didn’t ask for them specifically 😃. I trust Mattie and would definitely book again.

Mattie took great care of our puppy Sahara. She provided us with regular updates and even spoke to the vet regarding Sahara’s medication. I will not hesitate to hire her for our future dog sitting needs.

Mattie was great! Sent pup dates and pictures during our vacation that put us at ease. Dogs were happy when we got home!
