Dog-sitter, Delivered!

Pet care experience

Ten years ago, I started walking dogs with a small company in New York City, where I received the professional training that is the foundation for my business today, which I brought to San Diego in 2016. I've worked with dogs of every size and disposition, as well as some with special medical needs, and I have a perfect record of safety. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch in the near future! I own two kitties and love to do cat-sitting, as well as check-ins on pets of pretty much every kind -- I have experience with lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Unfortunately, I can no longer care for dogs at my home as I moved to a no-dog building. So, I will work out of yours!

This was our 4th time having Matt stay at our place while we were out of town. Matt is amazing, definitely goes above and beyond. We trust him completely and know our pup is in great hands with Matt. We will continue to rely on Matt as long as he is sitting for Rover.

Information Matt S. would like to know about your pet

In my experience, meet-n-greets work best a week or two before the sit date (otherwise the dogs don't remember me when I come to stay). The first meeting is free, but if I need to come back for a second one, a charge will apply to the latter. (See my drop-in rates.)

A typical day

Overnight service includes unlimited yard outings and/or a half hour of walking per 24 hours, so if you need additional walking, extra charges will apply. (See my walking rates.) Also, I walk dogs part-time M - F, and on weekends I may have social outings, so I like the option of being away for up to 6 hours at a time. Please let me know if that is an issue.
