Information Matisa U. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their personality, eating habits and if they have anxiety. I’d also like to know sleeping habits. It would be great to have a timeline of their day.

A typical day

I play with dog puzzles, light play such as running in the yard and fetch. I like to do what the animals enjoy doing. It depends on what they are in the mood for.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals since a child. I have 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs. I love to give them affection and care for them.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!

Matisa and her family are our #1 dog sitter whenever we need one, including for long trips. She communicates regularly, sends photos, and keeps up with maintenance medications without any issues. She even sent us a video for Shelby’s birthday. Shelby loves this family, and gets excited to see them as soon as we turn onto their street. We’ll be back!

This was the first time that I had to use a sitter for Misty and I would recommend Matisa to everybody. She has years of experience caring for animals which was top on my list of concerns. She is caring which totally was a relief for me to know that Misty was in good hands. Thanks you so very much for the care you provided for Misty.

Matisa did a wonderful job taking care of Rex! She was very responsive throughout his stay, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves animals. We would gladly book with her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
