Dog Lover w Professional Experience
Pet care experience
My main source of happiness has always been dogs, everybody who knows me is aware of this. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by big dogs (rottweilers, to be exact). Being far from home makes me miss my puppy very much and Rover gives me an opportunity to get my daily dose of dogs! My professional experience with dogs includes 2 years at a dog daycare/boarding/grooming facility. The name of the facility I worked at is "Creekside Resort" located around Rochester, NY. At this job, I was responsible for the daily feedings, cleaning, medicating, exercising, bathing and grooming. On the job, I encountered all types of dogs including but not limited to: puppies, older dogs, shy dogs, excited dogs, little dogs and big dogs. To me, dogs are not just pets, they are family. I understand the level of care owners expect from sitters and I guarantee your dog(s) will enjoy their time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Reviews
My dogs love when Matt drops by while I'm at work! Quick to respond to requests, on time for visits and was even willing to help figure out an issue I was having changing visit days through the app. Glad to have found him.
Matt is extremely reliable and responsive. I highly recommend him.
Matt is very professional, and I can tell from the photos of his visits that our dog likes him a lot, and is being well cared for. I highly recommend using his services.
Matthew has a commitment to animal care and enjoys taking care of your favorite furry friend with enthusiasm and precision. He is a wonderful dog sitter.
About Matt K.

Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is a long, railroad style which has a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. We have air conditioning and two air purifiers. There is space for a large dog to move around and not feel cramped. Having raised multiple puppies, I am aware of potential dangers (i.e. xylitol gum, grapes, chocolate, choking hazards, etc.) and am proactively concerned about the health of your pup at all times.
Information Matt K. would like to know about your pet
Some essential info for me (aside from the obvious feedings & medications) to know is your dogs temperament. Are they shy or apprehensive with strangers? Are there certain triggers that might set your dog(s) off? Do they have bite history? Any allergies or treat preferences?
A typical day
I can take any preferred route. If none is provided, I will try to pick a route that is quiet and away from traffic. If you have a fenced in yard, I can do fetch or any other activity that your pup prefers. I am very flexible and will let you know if I do not feel comfortable doing something.

Matt can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work at a large financial services company and follow a typical 9-5 schedule. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and can be available on weekends. I have a lot of flexibility while working from home which means I can take multiple walks with your pup throughout the day and will always be around.
