Loving Pet Sitter, Works from Home.

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 was great- took good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend and sent pics each day we were away. He left our home clean, stripped the bed, and even shoveled our driveway when we got snow while we were gone! Recommended! Would definitely use Matt again.

I chose Matt because I had read his reviews and he lived up to the reputation! I think dogs are a good judge of character and she warmed up to him immediately upon his first visit to meet her. I had plans to leave the country and needed to feel like my pup was in good hands and well cared for. She has some special needs and Matt made sure she received the care she required. I loved the updates, pictures and videos Matt sent, all which helped me know she was happy and healthy. She even is jumping on people less! He somehow taught her to stop this annoying behavior and I need to find out how he did this!! I definitely would recommend him!

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!

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?

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.
