Availability

Since I frequently receive house sitting bookings, my weekly routine is ever-changing. Sometimes my days start at 6 AM, other days it's 10 or 11. Besides caring for my grandmother, pet sitting is my only obligation, so my schedule is very flexible! Let me know what works for you and I'll do my best to accommodate :-)

About Matt B.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour
80% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

My top priority is building trust with my clients and their critters, which is why I ALWAYS recommend a meet & greet for any of my services. It gives me the opportunity to sit down with you and go through every detail (I take notes!) and connect with you and your pet/s on a personal level. Not only is it helpful for my services, but it also offers you, the client, peace of mind. Of course, my line of communication is also always open during bookings. I can shower you with constant updates and pet pics, or maybe just a check-in here and there. Up to you!

Information Matt B. would like to know about your pet

Any relevant medical information would be greatly appreciated up front. Additionally, it is CRUCIAL that I am aware of any aggressive tendencies, regardless of your dog's breed. If I don't know that your dog gets aggressive during feeding time, or snaps if pet in a certain area, I won't be able to accommodate, so please please please let me know :-)

A typical day

Like I stated previously, my schedule is constantly changing, so it's hard to describe a typical day for me. One thing I can assure you of, though, is that your critters will be well-loved. Of course, I cover the essentials (food, water, potty breaks), but I also make sure to spend time with every animal I sit for and provide for their emotional/physical needs. Whether it's 3 walks a day and constant cuddles, or just a game of fetch here and there, I'll make sure it happens!

Perfect partner for playful pups

Pet care experience

I have lived with and cared for pets my entire life, albeit mostly cats, but I truly love animals of all shapes and sizes. And since my first official booking in December of 2022, I've experienced so much, and those experiences have helped me grow into a confident and passionate caretaker. Senior dogs, dogs with health issues, aggressive breeds, puppies, large dogs, small dogs, (and cats of course), I've done it all at this point! To be honest, I am no expert in any area, but I will give any booking my best effort. Just an FYI for bookings outside of my search radius (10 miles), I may charge extra depending on the distance to account for gas prices. If you have any questions about pricing, please let me know!

Matt did an amazing job taking care of my babies! He came for a meet and greet before booking, took detailed notes for proper care, gave me frequent updates, and even sent pictures while I was away! I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again if I need a dog sitter and if he’s available!

Matt was amazing. My pup is a shy and timid around other men but within a few minutes it seemed like they were the best of friends. He kept us updated and well informed about our fur baby. I will definitely be seeking him out again for future stays.

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.
