Matt is wonderful! He took the time with my greyhound when she didn’t want to eat at first. He got her to eat and gave them a good walk! Thank you Matt!

Matt you were great with Bella as always and I would love to have you again and tip you what you are worth, unfortunately, I am afraid that you have priced out of my range. You do a great job, I just can't afford you very often.

Matt is much more than a dog walker, his skills with dog’s go far beyond that. He walked my dog for nearly a couple weeks and he trained my dog to listen to commands which have been so helpful for me. I treasure all his advice and knowledge of dog training and plan on to continue the training, it’s already made life much easier for me. I’m so grateful that I chose him thru Rover!!!!

Matt was fabulous with our 3 month old puppy. He sent me pictures all along his visit. I will definitely use Matt's services again.

Schedule

I’m currently a stay at home dog dad. Your dog will be under supervision at all times and will have plenty of opportunities to play, go on walks, go to the park, and get *all* the pets.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have two well socialized dogs of my own. A 9 year old female German shepherd named Lucy and a 7 month old male border collie named Lincoln. We have a fenced yard, doggie splash pad, and small pool. We also make frequent trips to various dog parks and will with your permission of course. Your dog will be allowed full run of the house if temperament allows but we have several kennels and dog proof rooms if they need space to unwind on their own.

Pets

A typical day

I think dogs do best with mental and physical stimulation together. We can go on walks, play fetch, or work on new commands and tricks.

Drop me a message and let me know: -your dog's temperament -any special needs or concerns (resource guarding, medication, separation anxiety etc.) -if your dog is crate and/or potty trained -anything they're not allowed to do (be on furniture, behaviors, habits you're trying to break, etc.) -anything unique to them you think I should know that will let me give them the best experience possible
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
