Pet care experience

I'm so excited to work with you!

Hello! My name is Matt and I've been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I've been a go to for neighborhood pet sitting (for dogs, cats, and birds) since I was around nine years old and have had plenty of experience. In fact, my family has 2 dogs of our own: a schnauzer mix and a chocolate lab! I also have a lot of experience working with high risk breeds such as boston terriers and french bulldogs as well as dogs with special needs such as epilepsy, diabetes, anxiety, and blindness. I would love to have the opportunity to help out in any way while you are away! I don’t have dogs at home at the moment, but I am living in an apartment with two cats, so keeping overnight isn't quite an option for me. I know It can be hard to trust many boarding places and doggie daycares so I completely understand the need for quality, affordable help for your dogs! Thank you so much for considering me!

Safety, trust & environment

Within my own home, I cared for my dogs with lots of love and time to play! They are well disciplined and grown now, staying with my family, but we did our best to never leave them alone longer than 4-6 hours. I do the same with my client’s pets. I will abide by house rules and make sure that everyone stays happy and healthy.

Matt has been a wonderful sitter for my young cat twice now for several weeks, and has been very helpful in taking on requests even on short notice. Matt is very friendly, easy to coordinate with, and someone I can definitely recommend!

Matt was very communicative and went above and beyond with our kitties and our home! Definitely recommend him to anyone who wants reliable and gentle care for their fur babies.

Matt was incredibly thoughtful and thorough with his notes and pictures each day! This is my first time using rover or a sitter of any kind and I was very impressed! Matt even reported on my cat's behavior each day, so I knew how well he was adjusting to something new! Really gave me some peace of mind!

Matt was amazing! He dropped in each day and fed, played with, and took extra good care of our cat Luna while we were away on vacation and even sent pictures of our girl happy as can be. I plan to rebook with him again very soon! Thank you so much, Matt. We appreciate you.

Schedule

I am currently taking a gap year post-graduation from Chapman University before applying to Master’s programs. I work part-time as a barista a few times a week but most of my work is remote so I’m pretty available! My hours tend not to exceed 5 at a time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Matt can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I don't have any breed preferences, but would like to know a few things. If you have multiple dogs, do they get along? If not, how would you recommend I deal with situations where fighting may occur? I'd like to also be informed of any biting habits or sore spots beforehand as well in order to avoid mishaps.
