Highlights
Pet care experience
Tail wags guaranteed!
I recently lost my 14-year old bulldog and I am looking to reconnect with dogs before committing to another long term companion. I have experience with senior dog care, to include dogs with cancer and dementia. I work full-time from home. During the day, I would be able to offer 2 15 -minute bathroom visits/walks during my breaks from work. I also have flexibility when other needs arise. In the evenings, I am free to give your dog as much love and attention as they desire. I only accept 1 dog at a time (unless multiple dogs are from the same owner and the dogs are pair bonded). I was single handedly responsible for my own dog for 11 years before she died of old age, so I know what it takes to compassionately care for a dog. I have also watched my friends’ dogs and my parent’s dog for weeks at a time. Taking care of dogs is not a new experience for me.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mat is wonderful with our dog, Snickers. We were welcoming our newborn at the hospital and he watched Snickers at his place. He took him outside to play often and got Snickers’s energy out. He has a large fenced-in backyard which was perfect for that and made us feel safe/secure. He sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay and informed us of Snickers’s eating statuses (my dog doesn’t always eat his first meal). Our dog didn’t care that we were back to get him - he may just love Mat more than he loves us! Highly recommend Mat to anyone.
If you're looking for someone you can trust to care for your beloved pet, I highly recommend Mathew. He has a genuine love for animals and understands that pets are cherished members of the family. Mathew is reliable, dependable, and takes every job he accepts very seriously. He is responsible, caring, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. I have complete confidence that Mathew will treat your fur baby as if they were his own. He was the proud parent of Paige, who was an English Bulldog that lived to be 14 years old. He has watched our 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, Rosie, many times and I know he treats her just like I would. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend him and know he will do a wonderful job caring for your furry family member.
I highly recommend Mathew as a Rover pet sitter. He is responsible, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I trust him to follow instructions carefully while providing consistent, attentive care. You can feel confident your pets’ safety, routines, and well-being are always his top priority. He is also patient, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and temperament.

Schedule
I work from home and have complete control over the flexibility of my schedule. I can take breaks from my work to attend to your dogs needs 2 times per day during my 15-minute breaks. I am free evenings. I can also use my breaks to give walks/pet stop-ins if within close proximity to my house.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am willing to take care of dogs who prefer free play in a fenced in yard or those that prefer longer leash walks or park outings. I have no problem with free roam in the house or crating, whichever fits best with the dog’s regular routine. I have a big fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park 1 block away. I also have a good relationship with a local vet in case of emergencies.
A typical day
I love playing throw in my back yard and providing exercise and stimulation for dogs. I also live in a sidewalk lined neighborhood with a park 1 block away.
