My experience

10+ years

I have had pets from small rodents to farm animals. All of my dogs and cats have been adoptions through shelters or rescue societies. I’m a strong believer that rescued animals truly make the best pets.

Matthew looked after Melanie’s pets & home

I have known Matt for thirty years and he has stayed in my home on multiple occasions to take care of my animals, my garden, and my house. He stayed in our home last week while we were away on vacation and it was honestly the most relaxed I’ve ever been while being away from my dog and my home. In addition to taking excellent care of my dog and my home and my plants, I think my house was cleaner when I got home then it was when I left!

Why I want to house sit

I am looking for an opportunity to travel more as I get older. And since I normally have to get my dog snuggles from neighbors dogs, I figured why not do both at the same time!
