Pet care experience

Fun, motivated pet sitter

Hello, my name is Matt. I have been around animals my whole life. I love spending time with them and figured this would be a great part time job. I'm a very active person and would get your dog a lot of excercie and attention. I have basic first aid capabilities and comfortable with any situation that might present Itself. Im very flexible and fine with anything from short or long walks to overnigbt stays. I understand communication is essential and will keep you posted on any updates the best I can. I’m respectful of whatever you ask or rules you might have while your dog is in my care. I look forward to working with your dog and providing excellent care and a fun day!

Boarding • feb 22, 2017

Matt described my lab as "too aggressive" and one day into her stay with him decided he didn't want to board my dog anymore. Luckily rover.com is a great company and set up a transfer for Madi to a new host that has been sending me pictures and is having a great time with my dog. Madi gets along with all people and dogs, except for Matt and Matt's pets. Either Matt is a statistical anomaly or he has no business caring for dogs as a rover.com host. Pet owners beware -- I highly advise you find a host other than Matt that actually likes dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When I am caring for a pet, my undivided attention is going towards your loved one. I’m very attentive and can recognize a variety of needs your pet may require.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs physically and mentally stimulated. I live by the bay and will take long walks on the bay and if permitted, play fetch off leash at the beach or dog park
