Pet care experience
I recently moved over to Rover from TrustedHouseSitters where my partner and I house/pet sit for others. I recognize I am new to this platform and would really appreciate being given the chance to care for your pet! I’ve lowered rates for walks to hopefully get my first couple of clients. I have housesit for 9 different hosts for a total of 90 nights, caring for both cats and dogs, and we averaged a 5-star review from all of our hosts. We cared for dogs ranging in size and age, making sure they got fed on time, got their daily walks, and most importantly got some attention and affection from us as well. I enjoy running, so if your have a very active dog that would enjoy going on a run with me, I would be happy to take them with me in the morning or evening. When I visit my partner, I also take her families Bernepoodle, Sumo, out for his walk. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs at the same time; during one house sit I took 3 dogs out for walks, two times daily around a mile each and felt fairly comfortable doing so.
About Mateo I.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
With my experience housesitting, I'm used to caring for pets and a host's home! I'm communicative and love sending updates/pictures of how everyone is doing. I prioritize maintaining a clean space, a set feeding and walking schedule, and spending time with the dogs to give them good company. I'm careful when it comes to walks and stick to the sidewalks, quiet roads, and parks. I am male, so if your dog is aggressive around men, please keep my safety in mind as well.
Information Mateo I. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to look out for. I am happy to care for old or anxious dogs, or dogs with special diets. If you have multiple dogs, please let me know their feeding routine and if they need to be kept separate during feeding. Any and all details about your dog are welcome (they don't do well in storms, or with loud noises, they find their way to food if you take an eye off your plate for a second). Knowing the commands you use with your dogs would also be very helpful! If your dog has a history of aggression with new Male sitters, I may not be the best fit (spoken from experience)
A typical day
I wake up fairly early in the morning and am happy to take the dogs out for a walk first thing in the morning and get them fed, if they're very high energy I could go on a run with them. I'm a homebody so I would probably relax until lunchtime, maybe finishing some coursework. If there are any toys that your dog loves I would play with them so they don't get bored, and consistently just keep an eye on them to see if they need anything.

Availability
I am currently finishing up my teaching residency in the Bronx this school year, so I am mostly restricted to the weekends until I complete my residency in August 2024. I am fairly flexible on the weekends and am accustomed to waking up very early because of my morning commute to the Bronx.
