Information Matt E. would like to know about your pet

How they are around other dogs/people, how much they like to be touched or not, and whether they can be trusted off-leash. I also am cautious about their dietary restrictions, if applicable.

A typical day

Love taking dogs to parks and running around. Great exercise for the both of us! Fetch doesn't get old for me either. I usually don't let dogs off leash unless cleared by their owner.

Pet care experience

Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.)

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.
