Hi I'm Matt, and I work the RoverVerse with my #1 girl, Angela, whom I affectionately refer to as "Gelly." We make a formidable, yet attentive team. First, I'd like to thank you for looking at our little patch of rover.com Second, a check-in dog will get a walk, unless customer says otherwise. *They're All Good Dogs* Ok, if you're still reading, here's the good stuff: I've had and loved animals, especially dogs, all my life. My keen interest in animals led to a B.S. in Zoology from Northern Arizona Univ. Additionally, I worked at the world renowned St. Louis Zoo for several years after college, in the Bird Dept. I have my own dog, a pound rescue named Pollux, so yours won't be lonely. He is a bundle of energy and, oh man, HE IS FAST! He loves to play with our guests. Inside or outside, Pollux is all about the play time. Ok...back to business: I use GPS chips, so if your dog is a "darter," let me know, and I will put the GPS chip on him. If you want your dog equipped with GPS anyway, just ask and I will make it happen. Finally, we are proficient in dog handling, cat handling, birds of course, reptiles', and fish. I can also sit ferrets, large rodents, small rodents, corals and sponges, and ant farms. I could probably do spiders, but I wouldn't be thrilled about it. Kidding. Thanks for reading.
