Information Matt C. would like to know about your pet

Ill need to know of any allergies, preferences or behaviors to keep an eye out for. I personally have a dog with severe food allergy. His food is made from scratch weekly so I know the importance first hand of watching for particular ingredients in food and treats. If dog is crate trained or has specific comfort items that will need to be brought.

A typical day

Keeping your dog happy & healthy would be at the forefront. A typical day may include a morning and afternoon walk around the neighborhood. A quick play session with the toys and possibly a lick pad. Lots of back scratches with some time to relax in the sun on a open air deck.

Matt was great with our puppy! He knew exactly how to keep her in line when walking and sent photos too! Will definitely use again.

Matt always comes through for us, even in a pinch. I was out of town and my wife had a day long meeting and we called Matt the day before to watch our two pups with separation anxiety. He flexed his schedule and was able to accommodate our last minute rover request. He’s our go-to sitter as he takes great care of our dogs and is often available when others are not. And he’s such a nice guy too, loves dogs, our pups love him. Thanks again Matt for being there for us!!!

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.
