Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong.

Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.

Matt has taken such good care of Max. This pi particular visit he went above and beyond to protect him from am off-leash aggressive dog. So grateful for his dedication to Max’s well-being.

Wonderful visit and walk. My pet seemed very happy and he was very accommodating to book last minute. My pet instantly liked him, like he has a way with pets.

Matt is great. Max is always happy to see him and well cared for when I get home. He also leaves my home clean and my linens ready to be laundered.

Safety, trust & environment

I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

Potty Training Is the pet house trained? Do they have occasional accidents when exited or nervous? Do they sometimes act differently in new spaces or with new people? Routine When do they usually eat? What’s their potty break or litter box cleaning schedule? Does the pet get regular walks or playtime? Are treats expected at certain times?

A typical day

We take a lot of walks and bike rides. A lot of the dogs I watch are pretty energetic and need a good outlet, so the bike is great for me. I have it set up with a dual attachment Walky-Dog setup so I can take two out at once. It lets me go their speed as far as they are comfortable going. I've also taken guest dogs to the beach or on hikes a few times.
