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!

Information Matt L. would like to know about your pet

Unique quirks and habits What’s their favorite toy or game? Does the pet get worried or anxious when left alone? Are they protective of their toys or food? Is the pet an escape artist? Does the pet tend to steal food off tables and counters? Behavior with new people and pets Does the pet like other animals? Dogs? Cats? Is the pet okay around kids? 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? Medications and allergies If the pet takes medications: what kind and when is it administered? Does the pet have any allergies? Health history Does the pet have any health issues to keep in mind?

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.

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.

Thank you for taking great care of Chloe for us. It was a unique situation where we were from out of town attending a family gathering so needed someone to stay with our dog at a hotel. Matt was flexible to do this for us, kept us informed with photos. I would highly recommend Matt!!

We are happy with Matt’s overall professionalism in taking care of our dog, Gina. He was very accommodating and kept her safe and entertained. There were some unforeseen circumstances that Matt handled well. He communicated with us regularly and sent some nice photos. We felt comfortable having Matt take care of our dog and home while we were away for a week.

Matt was a fantastic sitter for our high energy dog. Matt was very communicative during the booking process and while sitting. He took our dog on some big walks and hikes, which Ziggy loves and left our house clean. I would definitely recommend Matt and hope to have him sit for us again.
