She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and treats my cats like they’re her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care whether it’s for a quick check-in or an extended stay.

About: Hi, I'm Matthew! I’ve been around pets my whole life—helping my family care for rescued dogs and cats from a young age. Whether it's a walk around the block, a home drop-in, or overnight care, I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. I'm patient, reliable, and always happy to send photo updates to give you peace of mind! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I love staying active and would be thrilled to have a furry companion join me on daily walks or little adventures. My residence has a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and I also offer a spacious indoor area that's separate from other pets—perfect for pups who need their own space.

“Every single time Mahek sees a pet she automatically tries to see if she can pet them. She is a genuine animal lover through and through. She has dog sit for me on multiple ocassions before, and every time she puts in so much effort to make sure my pup is happy and active. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than me! But I love her dearly and I would trust her with my pet anyday and you guys should too!”
