My Story

Hello, I'm Matt! I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, and caring for them has always brought me joy. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I understand the love, attention and reliability pets need to feel safe and happy. 

That same dedication extends to making life easier for their owners, which is why I offer both pet sitting and convenient dog waste removal services. 

Fully insured and committed to dependable, friendly service, I treat every pet and yard as if they were my own.

Services and Rates

Loving care for your pets, and a cleaner yard for you! I offer trusted pet visits and hassle-free poop-scooping packages. Your pet's comfort and your convenience are my top priorities.
