Animal lover is an understatement!
Pet care experience
Rover Go Approved! I do work a full time job Monday to Friday but I love dogs and think they're awesome! They always know how to make you feel better and provide endless entertainment. They will always be there for you and are the best at giving cuddles. I love dogs as much as all the other animals on this earth, and I love getting to provide them with the care and affection they need to thrive. Becoming a sitter has allowed me to spend tons of time with wonderful pups, and I couldn’t be happier! I currently have a turtle, 3 bunnies, two dogs and two cats! I love them all very much and their different personalities. One of the dogs is a rescue and we fostered her for about a month before officially adopting her. It’s been a great experience taking care of her and helping her get used to her new life. I have always had pets ever since I was born and could not imagine my life without them. I grew up with a range of pets including chickens and horses so I would be happy to care for any of those animals on Rover. Making sure that pups and owners are both comfortable and taken care of during a stay is my number one priority. I’ll always make sure to be in communication with owners, and you can expect daily text or picture messages that let you know how your pup is doing and what we’ve done that day. I’m also very punctual with my own communication and am always a text or phone call away. For pups, I always make sure to design every stay around them and their individual needs. Getting to know what makes a pup tick is the best part of my job!

Happy to have left our cats to Matina. She updated us everyday while we were away on our vacation. Will reuse her services again soon
I was nervous when I dropped off our giant furbaby Xena and leaving her for 5 days for the first time but I was very pleased with how she was handled. Matina is very kind and welcoming. I felt a lot better after she sent me pictures of Xena and gave me updates daily. Matina will get to know your furbaby and really, really care for 'em! When we picked up Xena she was happy, calm, and just excited enough to see us that we feel certain she had a good experience. Definitely recommend Matina!!!
Matina was fantastic...my wife and I had never used this before and we’re a little uneasy about allowing a stranger into our home. But she made things easy, took good care of our dogs, and we’ll definitely welcome her back the next time we take a trip.
We needed an immediate overnight sitter for our 5 month old labradoodle, and Matina was

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I’m a very active person and believe that getting plenty of exercise is one of the most important aspects of any stay. I’m always happy to go on several walks a day in order to stay active and keep your pup happy and healthy. There are plenty of trails in the nearby area that I love to take my own pups on, so we’ll make sure to hit those up. There’s just nothing better than having a canine co-pilot alongside you to help you explore! If your pup is good with other dogs and likes to socialize, there’s a great dog park that’s very close to me as well. It’s a great place to socialize, and dogs always like getting the opportunity to meet some new friends and explore the new smells.
